Welcome to the KIDLIT QUEEN COMPETITION!
inspired by greats like @best-childhood-book and @best-kids-media-adult, this tourney pits the literary heroines of our childhood against each other in an all out brawl, searching for the greatest girlboss in the genre. Rounds will last one week, and submissions open TODAY! Submit HERE!
YA doesn't count as kidlit- characters should be from anything middle grade or below. This includes picture books!
Girls only! trans girls allowed/terfs explode ect, you know the drill.
Comic books/graphic novels allowed, but still should be kidlit! For example, a character from Hildafolk would be allowed, but a character from the Sandman wouldn't.
Side and minor characters allowed
Characters don't have to be human but they do have to have to be girls. Sometimes a girl is also a computer or a train or an alien or something, and that's cool too!
No harry potter characters.
Bracket will be capped at either 32 or 64 characters depending on submission numbers, and then be determined by popularity.
Maximum 2-3 characters per series/fandom/author. If I get more I'll run qualifiers, because I know some have basically infinite characters- looking at you, Warrior Cats & Rainbow Magic.
things that were books first will be favoured over novelisations of movies, games, ect.
This blog used to be fictional-train-fight (masterpost to be updated) and science-lesbian-swag-showdown (masterpost to be added). If you're looking for those posts, check their links!
