The invisibility factor of women in this industry is not unlike the invisibility of girl geeks. We know we exist, but everyone else seems to think were an enigma every time they get the notion to write about us and what we apparently want. What we want isnt any different than what anyone wants. Good stories. With characters we can relate to or identify with or that are interesting to read about. And wed like to feel welcome, not the perpetual other. We dont want to feel excluded or like props in every narrative. We dont want or need every story to be about a girl character. But wed like them to be treated with the same care and attention male characters are. And it is possible, even in male dominated narratives.
