Class differences in femslash. Some of my favourite rarefandom pairings, particularly in Shakespeare and opera, feature a lady and her maid. Or think about Gwen/Morgana in Merlin, or Jenny/Madame Vastra in Doctor Who. What are others' experiences with writing or reading class inequalities?

I wrote a fic with Cinderella/Princess Charming with this theme. In my The Roads not Taken, in which there are 4 different paths my heroine Cinderella navigates facing a romance with class inequality, I try to make the impact of class subtle but always here, and I try not to give value judgment on the different choices she makes, because I do think that class issues are important as a factor of making decision.
