Help Me Come up With a Name!
Monday, February 26, 2007
If you have been checking this blog you may know by now that I have an interest in romance where the woman (by a small or large margin) is more dominant than her partner. I started a yahoogroup for writers in this area called Hear Me Roar. With Laura Bacchi's help we will soon have a reading list online and I really want to help develop this area as a recognised sub-genre.
But for this to happen I think the sub-genre needs a name, some less BDSM-specific than Femdom. Suggestions that we have floated include: Fem-strong, AlphaFem, Alphem, Female-Alpha.... I want the name to immediately conjur or the image of a woman in charge, but not immediately leap as far as a dominatrix with a boot-licking slave. So if you have any ideas for a catchy and immediately understandable name for romance about dominant women please, please share it!
[28 Feb] Perhaps I could give up on the name and just use a symbol :)

personally i like AlphaFem.
p.s. that picture is really creepy.
Hmm. AlphaFem. Accurate but not very... snappy?
Alphafem is probably the best of those suggested. Alphem sounds like a brand of dog food or vitamin supplements. As for fem-strong, well, it reminds me of hygiene products. How bout Woman on top?
I wonder if you need to think wider. I don't know, sphinxfic, Amazonfic, roarfic, bitchfic, TopGrrl, BossLady, XX, DoubleX help me free associate here guys... ;)
Fempower?
topfem?
Femtop?
Mistress Fiction?
Well, so far we are going with AlphaFem... hmm. Oh well, I needed to pick something.
