I like both reading and writing femslash! I didn't have internet access until I was 19, and immediately jumped into fandom - I know people sometimes scorn the millions of soft-focus falling-in-love stories, and the PSA-type coming out fics, but as a teenager in a rural town who didn't actually know lesbians existed, I would have loved those fics. I'm primarily a superhero comics fan, especially X-Men, and for all the debates about over-sexualised images, sexist writing, killing off female characters and so on, comics are still a great place to find a huge cast of women who interact with each other, have histories together and sometimes (see icon) canonically get together.
As for the comm, I'd love to see something like mini metas on, say, femslash-friendly fandoms, a place to ask for fic recs, ship manifestos and so on. "Meta" sounds so important that it can be intimidating to write!
