How interesting! I often feel like *all* of my writing probably reads like original fic -- in fact I'd say my favourite stories (both my own and those written by other folks) are the ones that really take the canon in new directions. I definitely haven't sampled enough of femmeslash fandom as a whole to evaluate whether that's a more general trend, but I'm going to keep my eye out for it from now on.
