fem_thoughts | Picking the Collective Femslash Brain: Femslash as a Fandom (Reply)

If there is in fact, a collective brain, I'd like to ask it a few questions. I've recently been wondering about Femslash fandom as a whole and thinking about whether it exists and how it manifests.

Does femslash fandom (as a larger entity) exist?
If it does, what, other than the obvious (having at least one f/f ship), are the central features of femslash fandom?
How is femslash fandom culture different from (or the same as?) het fandom/guyslash fandom?
What are the main fannish interactions in femslash fandom?
Are there any femslash fans who are exclusively into femslash?
What are the canons that you think most femslash fans would (or should) know through osmosis (that is, they might never have experienced them, but would know through discussion/meta)?
What are your personal experiences being a femslasher in a (small/large/eastern/western/etc) fandom?

Tell me, what are your thoughts on femslash?

(I have thoughts, but it's easier to ask questions than give a hazy reply based on a limited sample and my experiences in small fandoms.)
