genarti is the LEAST HELPFUL PERSON EVER. I would just like to announce this now.

Because when I mentioned to her, like an idiot, that I thought it would be excellent if there was a fic-and-art exchange centered around female characters from Fullmetal Alchemist along the lines of the extremely awesome

atla_ladyfest that the equally awesome

meredyd set up last summer . . . instead of doing the helpful thing and reminding me that I am terrible at organization and have no time this summer and am terrified of self-promotion and all those things that go into doing a fandom fic exchange thing, she said, "I WOULD CO-MOD. Also the community name fma_ladyfest is open! :D"

So, uh. I guess . . . um, I guess this is a preliminary interest-gauging post to find out if anyone else thinks it's a good idea to set up a summer--->fall exchange focused on The Ladies of Fullmetal Alchemist: Look, Female Characters Are Seriously Awesome, Sometimes Especially When Hanging Out With Each Other.

Are we completely on crack? Should we really consider doing this?

I guess the two are not mutually exclusive . . .

Feel free to point people here if you think they might be interested/have helpful thoughts, by the way. And any helpful suggestions would be seriously welcome.

I KNOW. haha.

It's totally on my list! I just forgot where to possibly get copies of Brotherhood to watch.

(Also, do I have to remember what happened previously in order to properly follow along?)

It's actually all up on Hulu! *helpful* Also on funimation, but Hulu is probably easier.

(Nope! It's a completely alternate continuity from the first anime, actually, so you don't really need to remember ANYTHING - the first approximately 11 episodes cover about the same ground as the first half of the old anime, and then things diverge.)

Ooh. Alas, I don't have the little Hulu crack that allows me to watch it unless I'm a US citizen. D:

No matter. I'll check out funimation (unless it's similar) or uh - maybe someone helpful put 'em up on YT? (That's how I watched Tutu, after all.)

And yay! That is good to know.

*facepalms* Right, I forgot that little detail. Buuut it does in fact look like funimation puts that up on youtube! :D FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE.
