Lets talk about Femslash Fics

So, I was wondering. I normally write in Portuguese, because it's my first language, but true is femslash don't get a lot of feedback in Portuguese. And there's not a lot of HP femslash fics. Is there some femslash writer that could tell me how is their experience with comments/feedback in English fics?

Should I try my hand at it and see if there is more people into reading it if it's in English? I feel like femslash doesn't get the attention it should be getting. So many great feme pairings out there waiting to be loved, waiting to have their story told... 💝👭

Let’s Put the “Gender” Back in Genderbending

Ever noticed how some fanfics write your favorite male characters as girls? A gender bender, or genderbending, is when an author writes a character as the opposite of the gender that he or she is i…

Done correctly, I think genderbending could be a real opportunity for some fascinating, thought-provoking AUs. This could mean either rippling butterfly-effect changes or gigantic social critiques.

I became actively involved in writing fic because the stories in my head weren’t the ones playing out onscreen, and weren’t the ones other fic writers were writing.

I have received messages from some of my readers in recent months thanking me for making them feel confident in being who they are and writing stories that feel so real that they now have hope they will find their Bo or Lauren and not care what the world thinks about it.

Fan Fiction Friday: 8 Femslash Writers You Need to Know

I've been seeing this... I don't know if I'd call it a trend, but perhaps it is one? But, basically, there's been comments in fandom_secrets and other places that generally boil down to: No one writes the femslash I want to read . Which is all well and good, but--look. What does that even mean ? Is…

“No one writes the femslash I want to read. Which is all well and good, but--look. What does that even mean?”

[metaonfemslash]

Most people who write femslash probably aren't writing in your fandoms because no one has said "Hey, this fandom has some awesome women in it who are all gay together." or "There is one woman in my fandom, but she could be so gay with women from other fandoms or OCs." or something to that effect. So. Y'know. Say it. TELL US WHAT FANDOMS NEED MORE FEMSLASH. Encourage us. Feedback us. Glee about us. Talk about the shows. But stop expecting us to be bloody telepathic and just know what pairings and fic you want written.

I can’t decide if this is a meta or a rant

During some recent wank, lornelover turned to me and said, "Does anyone identify as a femslasher?" I racked my brain and couldn't find a yes. I know many authors who write femslash, but none that I could think of who identified themselves as femslashers and solely write femslash. All my favorites…

“I do think that femslash suffers from not having a community identity. There's not a voice, not a dialog, and it's often overlooked as a legitimate writing genre.”

"Does anyone identify as a femslasher?" I racked my brain and couldn't find a yes. I know many authors who write femslash, but none that I could think of who identified themselves as femslashers and solely write femslash. All my favorites also write gen, het, and/or m/m.
