Sell Your Fandom / Pairing!  
Sign-ups are open, and that means this is a good opportunity to talk about your favorite fandoms and the pairings you ship for them. Feel free to comment about them here, or take to Tumblr and use the femslashex tag.

This is also a good opportunity to add your name to the pinch hit list. As before, if you join the group, you will receive e-mails when we are looking for pinch hits. You are under no obligation to make a claim, but, if you choose to do so, all you have to do is reply to the e-mail containing the desired pinch hit. You can also reply to it on the group page. This is a great way to help the community, and, speaking as a veteran pinch hitter, there are times when it can save the day for a challenge (and give you that warm 'n' fuzzy feeling of having stepped up to the plate when it was needed).

I'm squeezing this in too late for anyone to change their signup, but if anyone is looking for old-fashioned recs that are available for free online, I have two 19th-century novels and some weird 18th-century Orpheus fanfic. :D

Our Mutual Friend - Charles Dickens. Pretty much everyone in the book (including several ladies) is IRRESISTIBLY DRAWN to Lizzie Hexam, the poor boat-man's daughter who used to fish corpses out of the river for her father's shady business, but now yearns for a better life. But my real favorite character is the penniless social climber Sophronia Lammle, who tricks herself into a terrible marriage and spends half the book as a villain--until she is redeemed by her love for her friend, Georgiana Podsnap. THEY ARE SO IN LOVE.

Pierre - Herman Melville. For the first half of this book the only important male character is Pierre, whose life revolves around his relationships with women: his mother, his girlfriend Lucy, and Isabel, his long lost sister-bride (YEP). In a book with canonical incest, multiple love quadrangles, and some REALLY gay subtext, Isabel/Lucy is just the next logical step...

Eurydice, or, The Devil Henpecked - Henry Fielding. Eurydice arrives in Hell, but she and Proserpine get along so well that when her husband arrives unexpectedly to drag her home, she and Proserpine conspire to trick him into leaving her behind! The moral: women love each other more than their dumb husbands. :P
