Femslash February : Day 26

[flo_nelja]

26) What do you love the most, and what do you love the least, about femslash fans?

What I love the most: I've seen a lot of femslash fans being multifandom, multiship. You ship femslash? You're kind of in the same fandom as them, even if you actually aren't, your ships are different, and you're no longer watching the same show. You will still leave Kudos on each other's art. For the same reason, a lot of openness at "there are my OCs" presentations.

What I love the least: the part of the fandom who not only wants only fluff, role models and healthy relationships (this is alright, except somehow frustrating when you come along a femslash exchange and discover it actually means fluff femslash exchange), but also complains where anything else exists in the femslash community (it's not exactly antis, since they imply it's specific about femslash). This is very frustrating. It doesn't happen often, but I have been called an agent of the patriarchy because I was writing kinky sex or twisted relationships.

Oh my goodness, people have called you that?! I must have been lucky to have not stumbled across the femslash purity patrol.

[flo_nelja]

Ha ha, only the agressive part, or have you also never seen these femslash events that could have been called "fluff femslash event"? (to be fait I only saw it on tumblr, so you can say I was looking for trouble)

[mesotablar]

I haven't come across them but Tumblr is a mess. I also realise I have not been very fandom active until recently. Before, I used to hunt around for things then read, comment and leave. Fluff generally gets on my nerves and the fandoms I was reading were the darker ones anyway so I guess I missed a lot if that drama. (lol before you ask, if you are ok with incest give the Ginger Snaps fandom a try!)

Pardon my Klingon but Quelle Est La Baise

(So when's the next Dark Femslash Week?)

Cette personne était trans donc je ne peux même pas parler de terf, mais... il y a du langage en commun.

Ha ha bonne question. J'ai négligé ça. Je vais y penser ! Ca peut être n'importe quel mois !

[malurette]

C'est... encore plus bizarre. Le quotient de WTF explose, là !

En vrai moi aussi j'ai négligé ça, ça faisait un an que je n'avais presque rien écrit !
(Et, on en avait déjà parlé et conclu que ça serait beaucoup plus compliqué à mettre en place, mais, du het glauque/unhealthy où c'est la fille l'instigatrice des trucs moches ?)
