Welcome To The KIDLIT QUEEN COMPETITION!

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!

RULES:

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.

Everybody have fun!

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!

I have one mod bias entry this time:

Junie B. Jones!

Question about shapeshifter physics: If Nimona, say, put a cupcake in her mouth when in a larger form, and then shapeshifted into something smaller (like a hamster), what would happen to the cupcake? Would it shrink? Would it fall out of her mouth? Would she make her mouth bigger to hold it?

Also: What She-Ra and Lumberjanes characters do you think would get along the best with the Nimona characters?

And one more (not quite about Nimona; not sure if it counts): Since you like shapeshifters, was Bearwoman from Lumberjanes your creation?

Do you have a question about Nimona? Graphic novel author ND Stevenson may have answers. Submit your questions here, and come back for ND’s Answer Time on July 25th at 12pm PT / 3pm ET

bonus:

I haven't seen the Barbie movie yet, but like... everyone who's hyped about it, go check out Barie: Life In The Dreamhouse. It's an affectionate self-parody, and is absolutely hilarious. Most of it is on Netflix and YouTube, go watch it.

my utopia

I love that Entrapta wears the same clothes she always wears, grease stains and all, to Princess Prom. Super characteristic of her.

It’s also probably exactly what Adora would’ve done, if Glimmer hadn’t stopped her. I bet Adora pointed this out to Glimmer (if Entrapta's doing it, how come Glimmer said Adora couldn't?).

Glimmer replies with something like, “Entrapta is crouching behind furniture and babbling into her recorder.”

Adora doesn’t see the problem.
