Of Swords and Parasols

So, this meme was going around last month, and i was terrible both at remembering to give prompts, and at responding when people posted on mine.  (Whoops.)  I wanted to do it then but thought I had too much of a backlog of things to post one.  And I still have a huge backlog of things to post on, so I'll do it another way.

Here's the original meme:

Pick a date below and give me a topic - it can be anything, from fandom related to life related to art related to whatever you want.

They will probably be brief, or not, depending on the subject.

Also, I reserve the right to decline prompts that I don't feel equipped to meet.

Topics: you can get an idea from my tags/from the stuff I usually ramble about/from things you maybe wish I talked about more but don't.

My alteration:  I'll do up to 25 prompts between January and February (and into March if it takes me longer, but I will do them all!), with the option of picking a specific day for your prompt if you want.  I may or may not do them in the order they're received, depending on what the prompts are and how quickly I think I can get to them.

Day 1- If you could pick an all-ladies crime-fighting team from wuxia canon, who would the members be? (yifu )
Day 2- Mangas that you would recommend to people interested in trying manga for the first time (asking for a friend). (chaila )
Day 3- Favorite relatively-short wuxia series with female protagonist(s)? (snarp )
Day 4- Any books you remember being particularly wonderful at being progressive in terms of racism, sexism, etc, and any books you remember that totally, utterly failed and had to be put down (sakuracorr )
