Being pretty new to fandom, I am totally unqualified to make any kind of sweeping statement about What Femslash Fandom Is or anything like that. But I can share my own limited experiences, for whatever they're worth!
Are there any femslash fans who are exclusively into femslash?
I think "exclusively" is kind of a strong word, but I'm pretty thoroughly a lesbian IRL, and that certainly carries over into my porn preferences. That's to say, I'll sometimes read porn with guys in it, if it comes highly recommended for other reasons, but it usually doesn't do too much for me sexually.
What are the canons that you think most femslash fans would (or should) know through osmosis
I've never been into either Buffy fandom (which I'm told has a good-sized crew of Faith/Buffy shippers) or Xena, but I've absorbed at least the names of the most commonly-femmeslashed characters and some basic information about the shows, just by reading metafandom off and on for a year or so.
Good questions! I'm excited to see where they go. And I'd be very interested in your "hazy reply," if you feel like taking the time to post it.
