I Am Not a Sidekick: Women Cosplaying as the Doctor in U.S. Fandom by bramcrackers
Fandoms: Doctor Who (2005)

Summary
Discusses the trend of femme and crossplay Doctors in the Doctor Who cosplay community, and suggests that these cosplays make several rhetorical moves, including resisting a narrative in which men are heroes and women are sidekicks, destabilizing gender by visually marking femininity and masculinity as performative, and subverting a hierarchy in which things coded as "feminine" are devalued.

Pride and Prejudice and...Buffy? by blue_sweater_spike
Fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV), Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
16 May 2020

Summary
Buffy and books are usually non-mixy things. Not because she doesn't like reading; she would if she had time, or so she tells herself. But a slayer's life doesn't leave much room for the enjoyment of literature, not when there are so many other things to do like study, slay, try to find time to spend with her friends and boyfriend, and wrangle her kid sister who just arrived in town. But an encounter with a strange librarian and a special edition of Pride and Prejudice just for Buffy is about to change that. When Buffy, her friends, and a few enemies find themselves trapped in the plot of Jane Austen's beloved novel, the only way out is to embrace their roles and reach the end--or be trapped indefinitely. It doesn't help that they all keep forgetting their old lives in Sunnydale. Well, almost everyone. Spike seems immune. Moreover he seems to know the plot like the back of his hand--and he isn't happy to discover he's been cast as Mr. Darcy. Especially when he finds out the Slayer is playing Elizabeth Bennet.
Will the creature keeping them in the story stick to script, or will the plot thicken in unexpected ways?Bookmarked by bramcrackers

Summary
Mid-season 3. Makeup fic + friendship bonus!
LoVe broken up but not with other people. Wallace friend-dumps Veronica and she runs to Logan bc she knows he’ll be honest, not nice, about if she’s really a shitty friend. She gets a little more wisdom and a lot more kindness than she expected.
Rated Explicit for last chapter of Veronica enthusiastically making up with Logan.
