I know we have a lot of members here who are into fandoms, and I wanted to share my project in the making. I decided to launch a media site.
After launching several episodes of our podcast discussing media, my partner and I were amazed by the feedback. We realized fans want to engage with media critically. You don’t need to work for a big media company to dissect what you are consuming. Indeed, fans are the new critics. We wanted to create a place where we could invite fans to discuss their perspectives on media.
So we're making it! It's called What the Fangirl.
What it is:
A new weekly podcast and pop culture blog celebrating the best (and worst) of media from the perspective of the not-so-average fangirl. Do you like television? Film? Books? Comics? Games? We’re interested in everything you love and even the things you hate. We like sci-fi and fantasy but encourage discussion on everything from classic HBO to cheesy teen shows of the 80s and 90s. Are your favorite TV shows dead and buried? On this website we want all your old favorites, like Original Recipe Law and Order, Xena, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and many, many more to rise from the dead zombie-style to walk among the living once more.
I know many people like me love to go on tumblr and read essays dissecting media, television shows, etc, and I wanted to see if there was anyone who interested in contributing perhaps? Or just think it's a cool idea? We're going to have recaps, essays, reviews, and more on games/tv/movies/comics from a female perspective. Oh yes, and that means MLP too.

Thanks for checking us out - I can't wait to launch!
