THE FANGIRL'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY a handbook for GEEK GIRLS by SAM MAGGS
I am a geek girl and I am a feminist. I embrace the word "Rangirl" with open arms. I don't have to prove my nerd cred to anyone, ever. Whether I'm a comics n00b, or a fic writer typing up her next chapter, or a hard-core gamer who sometimes forgets to sleep (not that I ever do that), no one else gets to decide whether I do or do not belong. From SuperWholock to Shakarian, I accept all fandoms and ships as equally meaningful and important in our geek girl lives. Even if your OTP is my NOTP, I will still like you (though I may have to unfollow your blog). I will support empowering, lady-created media and amazing female characters who make me feel like I could be Batgirl, if I just had some yellow Doc Martens and a vigilante complex. I'm the Doctor, not a companion; Buffy, not Bella; nobody's sidekick, love interest, or token female. I'm driving this ship. I'm a fangirl, a feminist, and a force to be reckoned with.
This handy little guide to the geek life is filled with everything a savvy fangirl needs to know, including > How to make nerdy friends > How to rock awesome cosplay > How to write fanfic with feels > How to defeat Internet trolls > How to attend your first con And more! Plus, insightful interviews with fangirl faves, like Jane Espenson, Erin Morgenstern, Kate Beaton, Ashley Eckstein, Laura Vandervoort, Beth Revis, Kate Leth, and many others. It's good to be a geek!
