Fandom Spotlight: Joan of Arcadia

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?

The entire premise of Joan of Arcadia is summed up in the Joan Osborne song "One of Us". Which also happens to be the show's theme song. Funny how that works. But, yes. The show revolves around a teenage girl named Joan who lives in Arcadia, Maryland, and begins getting visits from God who tells her to perform various tasks. He tells her that He is making good on her promise to do anything He wanted if her brother, Kevin, survived the car accident that made him a paraplegic.

There are vague spoilers for the entire series under the cut.

Spotlight on Fandoms: Mulan

[nodaintyflower.livejournal.com]

Mulan is the story of a young girl who takes her ailing father's place in the ancient Chinese Imperial Army by posing as a male. It's also the story of a girl trying to fit in and wishing she could be herself even if that could mean disappointing her parents. She wants nothing more than to make her family proud. Becoming a war hero can't hurt. It's based on a Chinese legend about a possibly real life female war hero told for thousands of years.
