[rarelywritten]

Looking for a fic exchange that focuses on characters of marginalized genders and sexes? Check out rarely written!

Formerly rarewomen, this year we will be operating under the name rarelywritten, or RW for shorthand. We are also moving our home base to dreamwidth, with our RSS feed and tumblr. Rules and modus operandi should be the same (with a few small adjustments) aside from the inclusion of other underrepresented and/or marginalized genders or sexes. This list can include but is not limited to: cis women, transgender women, transsexual women, genderqueer individuals, intersex individuals, gender fluid, a-gender, two-spirit, bigender, pangender, third gender, transgender men, transsexual men. If your character has self-identified as a gender that you are not sure is eligible, please ask and we will be happy to amend the list or clarify for you. One quick question you can ask yourself in regards to eligibility is "would this character feel comfortable being included in an exchange for underrepresented and/or marginalizes genders or sexes?"

[Rarewomen 2014 Fic] Maria in Xing

Title: Maria in Xing Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist (Manga/Brotherhood) Word Count: 4559 Rating: PG Pairings/Characters: Maria Ross, Fu, original characters Summary: Maria is getting used to living in Xing. Notes: Written for perlaret for the 2014 Rarewomen Fic Exchange. Thanks to sonjajade for the awesome betaing, as always! Excerpt:  Several days had passed since Maria Ross left Amestris and traveled through the desert with Fu to cross into Xing. They still needed to go a little farther to reach the Yao clan's residence. Throughout the trip, she couldn't believe she was starting a new life in a new country. She was nervous about meeting the family despite Fu assuring her that everyone was very nice. This was her first time in Xing and she wasn't sure how she should interact with the people here, nor did she want to be disrespectful. Read the fic at AO3!
