FANDOM NAME: Cybergeddon (Webseries)
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: It stars Missy Peregrym in a short webseries (total time ~90 minutes) that's like The Fugitive with hacking. There's action, reasonably-interesting plot, and a tough & competent female lead, all in a relatively short length that's easily consumable - and which provides plenty of possibilities for fic. Watch the trailer and see.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?: here at Vimeo combined into a single film-length video or Amazon, and I hear it might also be on Netflix; send me a PM if you're having trouble getting to see it!


FANDOM NAME: Women's Murder Club (TV)
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: FOUR female leads, one of which is a PoC, all of which are competent in their own areas, and who work together to solve murders. If you liked Rizzoli & Isles (or if you like competent women and case shows), you'll probably enjoy this - it also stars Angie Harmon in a very similar role. It's also only a single season so it doesn't take all that long to watch the 13 episodes and get into it.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?: here on Youtube (Amazon sells a DVD-R of the season, but it's not commercial DVD quality)


FANDOM NAME: Worldweavers - Alma Alexander
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: It's a fantasy book series set in a version of our world and time where there's a Federal Bureau of Magic and everyone takes classes in Ars Magica in school. There are also non-human species which are somewhat recognizable but also uniquely developed here, and the books have major doses of Native American mythology (Grandmother Spider, the Trickster) as well as an Anasazi mage and time travel, and feature Nikola Tesla as a major character. The main character is Thea, who is unable to do any magic instead of the extra special magic she should have been born with as the seventh child of seventh children, and her coming-of-age story over the four books is full of intriguing worldbuilding and details that beg for fic.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?: the author's website links to the four books on Amazon or you can buy the ebooks on Smashwords
