We want Flawed Female Characters! No, not THOSE flaws. 😕 Those aren't sexy, COOL flaws. You know, the ones that I don't think actually SHOULD be considered flaws, that I might even feel personally judged for. The "unjustly martyred by the court of public opinion" kind of flaws. So like a "flawed" woman who's actually kind of a Saint in a way. I didn't want, like, FLAW flaws. What she did was WRONG and that makes her a BAD PERSON, and how can you justify that? If you still like her after what she did, that makes YOU a Bad Person too. Ugh, disgusting. 😕 But anyway, WHY isn't anyone writing flawed female characters?

I'm here again with another Interest Check! By filling out this form, you help AU-gust grow in the direction you want it! 😁

I love this event! 😁

AU-gust is a writing that comes around every..... wait for it, every August. And you'll never guess the theme! AUs! 😆

It's a prompt based event for all and any fandoms. You don't have to write for all the prompts. There's no minimum or maximum word count either. All content and ratings are welcome. And you're strongly encouraged to twist prompts into your favour as you so please if they don't work for you.

You don't have to complete the interest check above to participate. That's just a survey to ask what prompts you do or don't want and when you want them.

There's a discord server if you're interested. I'll link it down below. If you're curious come check us out.

i have to defend fictional women who aren't good people because if i don't who else will

the two flavours of this feeling are "i think she is flawed and going through it and figuring her shit out and that's a very human quality that i appreciate seeing in a female character" and "i think it's good she killed and ate those people and i think it's really hot that she didn't feel bad about it because confidence is attractive"
