haha, i didn't actually mean to demand your personal genealogy, just as a general guideline for what to ask people at IDF. :) but thank you for sharing all the same.
yeah, i definitely identify more as a femslash reader and writer than het-shipper or slasher, but i definitely enjoy all of those things depending on the fandom and the pairing. it would be hard for me to identify fandoms where i shipped femslash exclusively. like a lot of other people on the comm, i look for canons that feature interesting female characters- even if it's only one interesting female character. so yeah, identifying fandoms where femslash was an important or integral part of your fannish consumption/production but not the *only* part would be a better question for most people
i remember being into J/7 back in the day, but I also liked to read J/P, J/Q or J/anyone who wasn't Chakotay. but then i was into Harry Potter where i read lots of different types of things, including femslash. i like Doctor Who, but again, i'm pretty omnivorous in what i ship.
