kateSo, I knew when we finally went live with the kinkmeme, things we missed would come to light (we just didn't have the time to go over and over and over the posts for weeks - we did this all in a few days (sucking up WAAAAAY more of my work and non-work hours than it should have)).
This thoughtful commenter gave us what-for for excluding the ladies (and they were right). And dammit, I tried SO HARD to be inclusive with the examples, that my co-mods said 'uh, that's unreadable' and asked me to strip them out. So I did. But without the thoughtfulness I put into them in the first place.
As far as the banners, I did ask for one that was not John/Rodney, because I am EXTREMELY aware of my bias, both toward them and toward slash. I even suggested John as the second banner (for the non-pairing and gen folk) because he seems to be the most popular character all around (even though Rodney is my favorite). It was totally my fail for not suggesting a woman, women, or even the team.
I hate it when I try really really hard and fail anyway (yes, yes, I know, pity me, right). Okay, pity party over.
In order to fix my fail (because I have not the skills, dammit), any of you lovely people out there have time to make a few banners with femslash pairings, singular women, rarepairs, or anything else for the sga_kinkmeme? Maybe one with just Atlantis, for the gen folk? (OH GOD NOW I WANT ATLANTIS SOLO KINK...) I will give you virtual cookies and favors and whatever you want if you will help me out, here. <3<3<3

on 6/25/10 03:35 pm (UTC)If you can wait just a few moments, one of the mods has made a few more banners, one of which is Teyla, and I'll be posting them on the DW comm momentarily, so you can use one of those, if you prefer!
ETA: Oh, and they've been posted on the LJ comm as well (the ones posted on LJ have links to LJ, the ones posted on DW have links to DW).
ETA2: And thank you for help reaching out to the het and gen crowd - we really appreciate it. I personally have a thing for non-sexual kink, so I'd love to see if the gen crowd might take that and run with it.
