This all kinda started when I read a message someone posted, where janegirl was suggested as being to boys what tomboy is to girls. That caught the interest of my moose (muse), which is how I wound up with the idea for Janegirl Camp. Because so many people seemed to enjoy my original bit of flash fiction, I decided to try expanding on the story. I'm not sure where it will go, but I think the journey will be fun. So, if you're interested, please join me in Janegirl Camp! :)


Background & Ideas

Below is some background info, as well as some ideas I've been having about Janegirl Camp. Nothing is set in stone. So, if you see something in my story that's different from what you see below, it's probably because my muse went in a different direction than I'd originally planned.

Genders: Some of the gender identities campers may be using, or experimenting with, include agender, androgyne, bigender, boy, boyish, crossgender, cute, delicate, demiboy, demigirl, different, enby, exploring, fae, flexible, fluid, girl, girlish, janegirl, multigender, NotA, NoYB, omnigender, otokonoko, pangender, pretty, questioning, transgender, and undecided.

Age Groups: I was thinking there would be 3 different age groups, who would attend camp at different times. The first group would be ages 7-9, the second group would be 10-12, and the third group would be 13-15. I was thinking of naming the groups, Caterpillar, Chrysalis, and Butterfly, but I'm still not sure, so I'll stick with calling them Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3 for now.

Camp Sessions: The camp session for each age group would most likely last 2 weeks. Group 1 would have their session at the last 2 weeks of June, Group 2 would have their session at the first 2 weeks of July, and Group 3 would have their session at the last 2 weeks of July. Each session will probably start on a Sunday, and end on a Saturday.

Cabins: There are (currently) sixteen cabins at Janegirl Camp. The cabins are spread out in groups of four. Each cabin holds four campers, and one cabin leader. Each cabin is named after a flower.
Southwest Cabins: Bluebell, Carnation, Dandelion, Foxglove
Northwest Cabins: Goldenrod, Hyacinth, Iris, Jasmine
Northeast Cabins: Lilac, Marigold, Orchid, Poppy
Northwest Cabins: Rose, Sunflower, Tulip, Violet
