No, I know what you mean. I'm not really into western media type of fandoms at all (most of my experience with femslash as more than an isolated just-me entity actually comes from the Final Fantasy pan-fandom, and most of the rest comes from other Japanese media) so it's interesting to see what's going on with the sort of more concrete and insular western media Femslash fandom.
I can also sympathize with the feeling alone in writing femslash. I sort of liken the circle I run in is that we play alongside each other, as opposed to playing with each other. ^^;; Like no one necessarily cares about my pet pairings, but on the other hand, I don't feel so alone when I talk about f/f subtext, yuri goggles, or liking femslash, which can be nice in and of itself.
