My current fandom is 90% male, and I created a ship for the main female love interest that is one of the most hated characters in the fandom because I love writing the latter and think their personalities go well together, and I don't like any of the ships I've seen for the main female character so far including her popular canon love interest.
But I'm not sure if anybody will read my fic if I do. I'm fine with getting less engagement at times but if I get crickets after stepping out of my comfort zone I think I'll be upset, and I have so many other wips to work on! I guess I could keep the fic short or create a collection of drabbles/scenes or something for the first time...
I just wanted this subreddit's opinion I guess? I'm lucky to have friends that will read everything niche I write but still
I haven't read much marauder era stuff at all and I mainly read femslash so I was wondering whether there's anything with Lily, she's always been an interesting/appealing character to me and reading some cute femslash involving her would be lovely!
I'd prefer to avoid very dark themes, evil characters, and adult content if possible~ thank you!
I’m not new to the HP fandom, but I am new to its femslash fic scene, and I was wondering:
- Which femslash pairings are popular in the fandom, and why?
- Could you rec me some of your all-time favorites?
I came from a The Devil Wears Prada/HP crossover fic, that had Andy Sachs as McGonagall’s niece and protegé, but featured pairings between McGonagall and an older, adult Hermione, and Andy with Miranda, and it was so, so well-written I just had to check out the femslash scene over on the Harry Potter fandom, but I just—didn’t know where to start.
Coming from another fanfiction subreddit, I do know some pairings are more divisive than others for reasons of their own, but I’d like to remove any and all bias—please don’t comment on this post if the only thing you’re going to do is attack another ship for its supposedly toxic dynamics, I’m not here for that.
I’d only like to know what the more popular femslash pairings in this fandom are, and—if there are any of its hardcore fans and even authors here!—why you grew to love them/write for them! I find that something as simple as giving voice to fans and authors that care deeply for pairings already does so much in terms of opening new doors and perspectives! If you could also point me in the direction of some of its classics to help me get started (hopefully very well-written, and not in first-person!) I’d really appreciate it! Thanks so much in advance!
I haven't read much slash and have never read any femslash whatsoever, I want to give some slash a chance to shine.
I have read a few slash fics but because they are few and far between, these are the only 2 I can recall
Of A Linear Circle and Forget Me Not
I don't like College AU's or things like that.
Thank you for any suggestions
Anyone know of a good gay story about Hermione?
Howdy! I've been on a Harry Potter femslash bender for the past 9 months or so, and I've read so many great stories. I'm just curious as to which ones you all love? A few from me to start things off!
The Blackest Night and its followup, Rabbit Hole by rayofillusion are amazingly written Bellamione fics, with what I consider to be possibly the most true to character depiction of Bellatrix I've seen, that involves her organically having a relationship with Hermione. It's still ongoing, and the author puts out chapters every few weeks/once a month (they're long chapters!) or so. So good!
Saving Souls & Healing Hearts by BatwingLawyer is a phenomenal Fleurmione fic that involves a traumatized Hermione leaving Britain after the Battle of Hogwarts, and coming back seven years later at the behest of McGonagall to take up the Transfiguration teaching position. It's a beautifully written story, although it hasn't been updated in a year and a half. The author hasn't been seen or heard from since, but I hope they're OK, and they'll come back to finish writing it! But even unfinished as it is, it's definitely worth a read through!
Written in the Body by poetheather is a Ginmione fic that definitely deserves more love. After being tortured by Bellatrix in Malfoy Manor, Hermione resolves to no longer live her life according to the expectations of others. She shares a beautiful friendship with Ginny that evolves into a loving relationship as the story goes on. It's so sweet! Finished!
The Weekends Are Blissfully Silent by Bet_on_black and Yanana! Joint written by the two people I consider the Ao3 queens of Cissamione fics, it's as adorable as it is funny! Tried for her crimes after the war, Narcissa Black is punished by being forced to work a different muggle job each month for a year, with Hermione as her probation officer. The two authors together are a treasure trove of great Cissamione fics, and this is the one I love most! Finished!
Yule Ball Panic, The Power of Love, and [Heart and Soul](https://m.fanfiction.net/s/11761312/1/Heart-
... keep reading on reddit ➡Looking for any recently updated or created Hermione femslash where she is dark or at least grey. Anything after 2019 as I think I’ve read everything else.
Edit: adding some that I’ve read
Here are a few I know there are more but I never save them so can’t remember
Hi y’all! I’m looking for some completed sweet/romantic HP femslash recs; they can have sex scenes in them, but I’m not really looking for smut right now.
I’m not particular about the pairing, and I absolutely love the soulmate marks trope. Does anyone have any recommendations? Please and thank you!
EDIT: I’m not solely looking for soulmate mark AUs (I know they’re not all that popular); I just wanted to give an example of a romantic trope that I enjoy :)
Alternately, any complete fem!Ron fics that AREN'T Weasley Girl?
Hello y'all, it's been a minute! But I think it's time for another Femslash Friday. Local wlw writer asks again: share your F/F or F&F works, and I will read and comment!
Guidelines are the same as previous posts:
- Hard limit of 4K words limit for a oneshot or single chapter in a multi-part work (indicate which chapter you'd like me to read!).
- English language only...I truly wish I could offer more!
- Any rating is fine! Caveat: I'm not interested in underage, hardcore non-con, or body horror. The latter two (not underage) aren't triggers, just preferences...feel free to share your link with a warning. I can check it out and nope out, if need be.
- If your work has F/M or M/M as part of it, that's totally fine, but I'll probably gravitate towards the singularly F/F or F&F works first. Fandom-blind is great! Just give me a little lead-in context and I'll be set.
- Fandoms I'm intimately familiar with are: Legend of the Seeker, Warrior Nun, Horizon Zero Dawn, Grey's Anatomy, Star Wars (and extended universe), She-Ra, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Vikings, The L Word (and all reboots), tons of other TV shows. I also have at least a passing familiarity with most wlw-centric media!
- My default will be praising comments, but I am more than willing to offer concrit if specifically requested.
- I prefer AO3, but will comment here if offered a link for a different site.
I'll leave this post up for a little while before I begin reading to give ample time for comments. I promise to read ten, but please share regardless, as I'll come back to this post as I carve out more time. And maybe other folks will take a peek at your works as well! Can't wait to see what you've got this time!
EDIT: the response here is wild!!! I started reading earlier today and will continue through the weekend with at least a kudos for everyone. Seriously, I’m already blown away by all the amazing femslash here!
I’m just looking for a DC fanfic, about two females heroes starting a cute family together?
I don't have anything specific I want tbh, I just wanna read something good that juat happens to involve a lesbian harry
Hi! Could you recommend me some platonic/romantic Fanfiction, with at least one of these ships: -Fem Harry / Ginny - -Luna/ Daphne -Hermione / Luna
Or even other ships, as long as they are platonic/romantic. Thank you so much; you'll make a bad day a little better.
So for context; I have never read or written any fanfiction before because I love the saga as it is in canon. But the existence of this sub has made me curious to check out some of your writings and creative ideas. As a lesbian twilight fan I would love to check out the best f/f fics you have (preferably with at least one of the girls in the pairing being a vampire). I really like Bellice as an AU pairing, but if you have any good Bella x Edythe (like completely the same as twilight except they are both girls); I'd love to read it too. So don't be shy, drop every twilight femslash you've enjoyed down below.
Does anyone have any recs with femslash and a female Harry? Trans Harry is fine, so is other genderbent characters.
(Inspired by the girl-who-lived stories from boy with a scar, female harry/ginny makes me so happy :D)
Thank you!
The majority of my fanfics are based on f/f pairings. Some stories I have reviewers that have nothing to say but good things, other stories I get critiqued and outright flamed on my representation of the characters. Any advice on what I can do to improve lesbian character representation? Or should I stay true to how I write them?
As the title states I am looking for any femslash Taylor fics you can recommend though I do prefer living or completed fics.
I know these posts pop up every so often but I am hoping something new has appeared or somebody has found a fic they have not recommended before as does usually happen every now and then.
As the title suggests I’m looking for twilight femslash that feature Bella with another female character. Only other requirement is for Bella to be non human, can be anything else though. And preferably fics over at least 30k.
As it says in the title, I'm looking for femslash fics with Hermione as one half of the main pairing. The fluffier the fic, the more mindless the fluff, the better. I'm open to any pairings. No bashing please.
Hi everyone! Does anyone have any f/f recommendations that feature a female Harry Potter? I don’t know many fics that are like this and would love to read more. The pairing doesn’t have to be the focus of the story and I’m cool with super slow burn or even pre-slash.
I don’t have any preference for the pairing, do not care if they change her name, and I don’t care if Harry is cis or trans (although I’d love some trans Harry fics that don’t just focus on coming out). The other character could be a fem version of themselves as well or female in the books.
I would also be cool with fics that have Harry falling outside of the gender binary and have them paired with another gnc character or woman as I rarey see those as well. Thanks in advance!
I also have a couple fic recs for that fit my request. Please note that the Harry/TMR|Voldemort are at least somewhat dark but I don’t think any are too heavy/require individual warning. when your gay wizarding crush thinks she is straight Harry/Daphne The Adventure of Ravenclaw’s Diadem Harry/Tom Riddle|Voldemort the girl who lived Harry/Ginny the girl who lived (again) Harry/Ginny I would know you anywhere Harry/TMR|Voldemort dust in your pocket Harry/TMR|Voldemort Intervention Harry/Tonks The Archaeologist Harry/Argo (doesnt really count bc >!they get together in the last chapter!< but I liked it a lot so I’m including it)
Hey all! Just got into this fandom and now I wanna indulge in some good ol' fanfiction.
I've kinda poked around on AO3 and found a couple good ones, but a lot of them tend to fall into categories I don't vibe much with (i.e. odd crossovers, poly Heathers all dating/fucking each other, callback lines from the movie and musical WAY too much like every other paragraph, Chandler written to be nice, etc.) ((But I will also say that if it's very well written then almost anything gets a pass))
I don't mind dark themes, weird shit, toxic pairings or anything like that- in fact that stuff is encouraged because I love me a good fucked up dramafest, and because it fits the overall tone of the film/musical anyway.
My favorite ship is Chansaw but honestly I'm open to any femslash pairing if the story is good. Gimme gimme gimme your recs!! And please feel free to tell me all about why you rec it.
Thanks in advance!!
Perhaps not even comedies, just fics that have more humor mixed in with the romance than usual. These kinds of fics tend to be harder to find through tags, so I thought I'd search for recommendations.
Any fandom.
I’ve already read quite a few but never save them so can’t remember all their names. I’ll probably re read them anyway. However I have been out of touch of any new stories that have come out in the last few years so the more recent the better.
Preferably fics at least 40k+ words.
From the fics itself to the omakes. From official pairings to there if you squint. From Skitterpan to LibraryBug (Skitter/Alexandria). From canon to crossover. Canon characters to OCs.
Looking for all the femslash fics you both love and hate. All the pairings as long as it's femslash please.
Celebrating Pride Month with a femslash rec list!
AO3 collection for the list
Rec Selection Criteria
- Main pairing is femslash according to the Category from the Author. But a lot of these fics have gender identity and queer themes.
- No A/B/O, noncon. We have one dubcon fic.
- Short reads < 30000 words
- No repeat authors or pairings
- No repeats from older lists.
- Tried to pick for variety.
Variety was harder to pick in f/f fics. Maybe it's just my reading. I found a meta about it which was pretty interesting. 8 Hypotheses for why f/f stories are more conservative than other types of fanfic
There's just a smaller group of fics to pick from. We have around 10 M/M only completed fics for 1 F/F only completed fic
... keep reading on reddit ➡Hey y’all, I’m looking to write some femslash one shots, and I was wondering if there were any pairs you guys would like to see? I’m trying to challenge myself with my writing, so please tell me what you’d be interested to read!
Also, I’m writing for the song fest (link will be in the comments if you want to peruse the works or submit something), so if you have a song you think fits your pair, feel free to mention it!
Hey I'm looking for a rather specific fic. Basically Alice and Bella fall in love but are still with Edward and jasper. So they decide to share each other. Bella with Edward and Alice. Alice with Bella and jasper. But Edward can't do it so he leaves and jasper leaves when Bella is turned into a vampire?
Thanks
We unfortunely know that femslash is still behind slash and het pairings in terms of popularity in fanfiction. Still, I would like to know your favorite f/f ships. They can range from popular (Catradora, Korrasami, NozoEli, Sanders, Clexa) to obscure.
just very fluffy and adorable
optionally transfem, optionally polyamory
I just want femslash fluff
Okay, we need a cele-vent flair.
I kinda feel guilty, because I don't know if I'm doing a good representation. I've never been in such a relationship, so I'm scared I'll stereotype it or something. But I'm happy I've been trying new things.
I'm interested in getting to know some of you femslasher over here, so send me your one-shots, I'll try and read them.
I'm familiar with these fandoms: She-ra, Legend of Korra, the owl house, Steven Universe, killing eve and old but gold Orphan Black and The 100.
Other than that, try to send me the one that work better fandom blind.
5000 words tops
Your best of the best femslash stories with great plot? Please share! I need that! Any rating, pairing, au, trope, warnings, site will do.
I'm new to femslash, so you can feel free to recommend anything old/new. Please, share only fics that are finished or you are certain they will be finished soon.
Thanks!
P.s. I will appreciate well written smut, too.
As it says in the title, I'm looking for femslash fics with Hermione as one half of the main pairing. The fluffier the fic, the more mindless the fluff, the better. I'm open to any pairings. No bashing please.

Hi all!
I'm in need of some distraction today, and what better way is there to find it than checking out some of your works? This time around, I'd like to keep it central to my bread and butter, F/F OR female-female platonic relationships. Here are some rules:
- Hard limit of 5K words limit for a oneshot or single chapter in a multi-part work (indicate which chapter you'd like me to read!). This is to ensure I get to as many as possible!
- English language only...I truly wish I could offer more!
- Any rating is fine! Caveat: I will not read non-con or body horror.
- If your work has F/M or M/M as part of it, that's totally fine, but I'll probably gravitate towards the singularly F/F or F&F works first.

Looking forward to reading your works!
So it's not Femslash Friday, but it's close enough. Local femslash fan asks: share your F/F or F&F gen fic here. I'd love to read and leave you a nice comment! Sometimes our ships need a little more love in the broader reach of fandom, right?

I recently read when your gay wizarding crush thinks she is straight and really really enjoyed it! ^^
Is there anything similar? No explicit fics, please!
What the title says. No dubcon or noncon, no character bashing. I really don’t want pwp. Smut is ok but I want a deeper exploration of the relationship and Bellatrix as a character as well.
Forget Flannel Friday (or don't...Flannel Friday is sacred)--it's Femslash Friday! Share your F/F or F&F works, and I will read and comment! I'd love to spread a little feedback cheer as we head into the weekend for our sometimes-underappreciated little corner of fandom.

By recommendation? Bookmarks? Do you have a trope you like to search for? Or do you just sort by new or kudos and pick out fics in your fandom that look interesting?
