Lez Girls Needs You

A trade website, broadcastnewsroom.com, picked up the press release FanLib issued July 10th (I've been tracking the press release; it bombed).

It's mostly about the new The L Word contest, but Broadcastnewsroom.com put a slightly different spin on it, leading off with Ilene Chaiken of The L Word.

Chaiken says of the contest, "I can't wait to see where the fans take their favorite characters."

Since the fan-written scene is only a tiny snippet of a fictional book written by a fictional character, and the tiny snippet has to be based on a scene from season one or two, I think it is safe to say the fans aren't going to be taking their favorite characters all that far.

Oh, fuck! I just took a peek at OurChart.com, the L Word FanLib site operated by Hilary Rosen. You remember her, right?

There is a section labeled Guestbians. Guestbians. You can't make shit like this up.

We know where bryson went now.

Ah, FanLib. Marketing to lesbians. But not to women.

I don't think they're marketing to us dykes; I think they're still aiming at the male 18-25 (or whatever it is) demographic.
