I'm Sophie alias sqbr, I've been waiting to reply to this until I wasn't feeling so blah but that doesn't seem to be happening, so I apologise if this is a bit all over the place.

I must admit that femslash is a (large) minority of my fannish consumption/output, but I am all about the female characters. I mostly draw gen-ish fanart, plus the odd bit of fanfic. My two big fannish obsessions right now are the Bioware game Dragon Age and webcomic Homestuck, both of which combine lots of cool female characters and canonical f/f with extreme problematicness.

I agree with [personal profile] dagas_isa that it would be cool to have general fannish posts which place f/f and female characters as the assumed default but aren't only applicable to them. Also, I've been vaguely thinking that fandom has too many attempts at an authoritative "this is how fandom is" when we need more "This is how fandom works for me, what about you?". But that might just be because I'm better at the latter :)

A specific post I was pondering is the very simple: what kind of femslash do you like? What sorts of f/f relationships draw you in?
