Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
QC is the "girliest nerdiest" webcomic
Snuffletrout:
There is a couple of Scandinavian female authors I adore. Camilla Läckberg, Anne Holt and Unni Lindell. They're all respectively been branded as Sweden and Norway's Crime Queens. All of them are translated if you're ever in loss of a good crime novel.
I have nothing against female authors in general but I really don't get the whole romance novel crap.
ocelott:
Despite what it's starting to sound like in this thread, women authors do not exclusively write romance, leaving men to cover every other genre. There are a number of women who write sci fi, fantasy, horror, or mystery novels I enjoy.
That being said, I'm going to have to agree their list is full of good stuff, since four out of the five are webcomics I follow. Guess that makes me a girly nerd?
For those having trouble seeing the list:
Questionable Content (no link since I'm going to assume you know where to find it)
Girls With Slingshots
Girl Genius
Brightest
Hyperbole and a Half
Penquin47:
I do not care for romance novels.
I love female authors. Ree Soesbee, JK Rowling, Madeleine L'Engle, Ursula K LeGuin, and classics like Louisa May Alcott and LM Montgomery all have their place in my heart.
Male authors also rock.

Huh, curious; I've never encountered an association of the phrase "tomboy" with any sort of implication of homosexuality* before.
Is that particularly prevalent in your experience?
*Rather, the opposite; the way I hear it, tomboys are generally girls that like boys a little too much, to the point of actively associating with them and mimicking their behaviours, generally much to the exasperation of their long-suffering (grand)mother...
Strike Reyhi:
I think "Girly" here is a bit misleading. drama and romance aren't musclecars and guns but I wouldn't consider those things girly. it depends on the tone.
badly written romance novels with ruffle shirted dudes sweeping ladies off their feet (with the only intent to be girl porn)? sure
well written romance/drama/comedy? not sure how that's considered girly?
also hyperbole and a half is a blog with drawings not a webcomic.
