It is REALLY HARD to stop all these recs from reading "AWESOME LADY IS AWESOME IN AWESOME WAYS, GO READ NOW." Especially on the short character pieces.

Also, winnowing the list of Stories About Awesome Ladies down to 150 is kind of horrible; I keep getting the urge to just throw them in a big post and flail at people to go read ALL OF THEM, because HERMIONE AND VELMA AND JULES CALLAHAN AND FAITH AND CORDELIA AND BUFFY AND WILLOW AND DAWN AND RIVER AND ZOE AND INARA AND ILLYRIA AND FRED AND SARAH PEZZINI AND SARAH CONNOR AND SARAH WILLIAMS AND TOPH AND AZULA AND MAI AND TEYLA AND VALA AND CARLY AND POLLY AND CRISTINA AND ALEX RUSSO AND AISHA AND PENNY AND TAYLOR SWIFT (YES, REALLY) AND GRETA AND CARA AND MISS PARKER AND SAM CARTER AND SAM PUCKETT AND OMG, Y'ALL, THESE WOMEN. THESE WOMEN.

Totally sad about Janis Joplin dying of an overdose, especially so young.

Totally still find her high as balls speech at the end of Ball and Chain hilarious. Like, I could recite it along with the cassette when I was still in grade school, that is how much I heard Janis Joplin as a kid. Admittedly, I thought "cat" was a feline and not a dude, and the "it's all the same fucking day, man" bit was confusing until I realized she was talking about time zones, but still.
