This is true! Trying to get femslashers to watch Bunheads or Scandal, for example, has been an exercise in futility. (Or anyone, for that matter. Even most people who love female characters.) Though I really do need to watch the rest of this season of Scandal, I know. I think part of the main problem is that canon will often hand fandom everything it asks for when it comes to het ships, and even give the m/m shippers all the juicy subtext that they can get their hands on. Most shows require a little more creativity when it comes to femslash, and a lot more flexibility when it comes to canon. That's why SGA had a mass exodus of femslashers (to Legend of the Seeker, which had some serious femslash even with the canon het ship) once Elizabeth was killed off and Sam got shipped back to Earth.

So I guess the next question, at least for me, is this: How do we convince more femslashers to break free from canon?
