4 Fangirling-Worthy Webcomics With Central F/F Romance (That Are Also Available In Print!)
Ladies who love ladies are amazing.
So, as it's Pride Month, and I'm a Queer lady who loves the nerdy things in life, I think it's time we celebrate some central F/F relationships, don't you?
This short list of comics features romantic relationships ranging from the sexy to the innocent, and ladies who have their own unique personalities and situations.
Available to read online (for free!) or in printed form, let these ladies bring a little love to your lives!

Friday Fics Fix - Lady Love
'Ava stops and stares. There is Sara Lance, trained assassin and former vigilante, face down on her desk drooling. When Sara snorts and a little drool bubble forms at the corner of her mouth, Ava has to slap her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing out loud.'
Sara Lance, former Black Canary, current White Canary, general bad-a**, assassin, and time-ship captain; an amazing hero.
She's awesome. She's also a Bisexual lady with an open preference for the ladies over the dudes.
She leads the way for Queer rep. in the Arrowverse (that's all the CW's DC superhero shows.)

2017's Top 4 Books (...In The Opinion of Yours Truly)
2017 can't be well and truly dusted off and put back on the shelf* without some input from your favourite Bookish Rebel (moi, ofc,) on the bestest books of the year.
*Ha, shelf? Books? Hehe! XD
This is TOTALLY MY OPINION ONLY.
Obviously, I can only pick from books I've read. And within that only books published in 2017.
Even given those rules, there's a bunch of books that I've read that I didn't include - THAT DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T LIKE THEM!!!!
This is basically a snapshot of the stand-outs. There were loooooads of other books I could've included - promise!
(My Anxiety kicks in when I think I might be leaving someone/something out that deserves recognition - does it show?!)

Month in Review(s) - December 2017
Decemmmmberrrr!!!!!!!!! Wooo!!! XD (Yes, it's January - but let's face it, I never wrap-up on time.)
OK, so December for me was actually super-super-hectic, but it came with Christmas at the end, so I really can't be mad at it! Lol.
(I love Christmas. Sooooo much!!!! 😁 )

Friday Fics Fix - Festive F/F!
I actually really liked this week's fic (well... obviously... since I'm recommending it... but you know what I mean!)
Sometimes a fic comes along at just the right moment - I mean, who doesn't need something short, sweet, and warming right now?!

Month in Review(s) - November 2017
November was one of those super-busy months where I barely had time to think!
As such, guys, I apologise if I've been a little more AWOL than usual.
I haven't had much chance to be social and all that - so, hi! I am still here! XD

Friday Fics Fix - Super Chatty
You know what's fab? Fandom doesn't care about little things like continuity or multi-franchise media universes.
Fandom says 'screw it, we're just throwing all of them into a f**king group chat, cos it'd be great!'

Friday Fics Fix - Anything But Ordinary, Please
In fandom, anything that can be shipped eventually will be shipped.
(Fangirling notes: fandom is here used as a collective term for fans.
Which is both awesome and terrifying when you think about it. 👍😅
(Fangirling notes: fandom is here used as a collective term for fans.
Shipping is wanting two (or more) characters to be in a romantic or sexual relationship. This may or may not conform to the official materials, known as canon.)

Month in Review(s) - August 2017
August. Yeah, August...
August, for me, was stressful.
My 88-year-old grandfather was very unwell and ended up in hospital, he's better now but we still have to do a lot to make sure he and my grandmother are safe, happy, and as healthy as they can be.

Comics Wrap-Up - Miss Atomic Bomb
Film Trailers and Films
I'm actually gonna give you some slightly older trailers for two based-on-comics films I've seen over the past two weeks*
*Yes, two films in two weeks. I bought a year cinema pass, so I literally go there every week; after the first 20 films, it's paid for itself.
And I've seen like 24 or 25 now. If you're a movie fan, maybe look at similar deals where you are? #BudgetTipsWithCee - lol! ;)

Friday Fics Fix - I Can See It There In Your Eyes
Some things in this world are pure awesome - one of those things is that Sanvers is canon.
Because Supergirl is an excellent TV series, and was like, 'dudes, let's see Supergirl have a lesbian sister who kicks criminal alien butt!'
And the kids of this world are all the better for it.*
*Link warning: discussion of suicidal thoughts in relation to LGBTQ+ issues/coming out.
