Introduction

Hey, I'm Maddie. Lesbian, college student, and television nerd. I've been something of an obsessive about television since the age of thirteen. That was when I first watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer. You know how every girl has that one character that makes them go "holy shit I like girls"? For me, it was Faith Lehane.

There was something about her swagger that was magnetic.When she drew that heart on Buffy's window it was like it was just for me. Of course, once she started killing people I began to go into a "WHY DO I FIND THIS HOT" panic, but at this point, I can look back on it and laugh. I've always liked the badass characters.

BTVS instilled in me an interest in shows about the supernatural and shows about women. Ever since, I've been watching sci-fi and fantasy and hoping every show holds either subtext or maintext for me. 

Sometimes people (generally straight people) tell me that it's strange for me to mostly watch shows with wlw in them. The thing is, every show I watch has straight people in it. We watch television to hold a mirror up to our world. And I want to see myself reflected in that mirror. 

So now you know a little bit about me. I'd like to know a little bit about you. 

1. What was the character that made you realize you liked girls?

2. What is your favorite queer tv show?
