hanging my tomorrows on the bones of yesterday

I feel you about more stories focusing on gals and NB folks. I came into fandom during a time when female characters were treated so badly and I stayed away from writing them in my more formative years because of bad review experience. Now that I'm older and fandom is more chill (on the girl front, anyway), it feels like that part of my writing repertoire is so stunted and far behind all my other skills from lack of practice. It's frustrating! I haven't made much headway on changing the demographics of my fic focus, but I'm working on a couple stories, and I'm always available to cheerlead, chat, and share resources. ^~^
