Femslash Festivus 2025

[isabrella]

A mini-challenge for anyone who would love to see more femslash in the world and especially in this year's Yuletide!

Femslash Festivus is a collection post for femslash requests that you are making for Yuletide. Posting here doesn't obligate you to do anything, but it helps other femslashers find you and treat you.

Posting guidelines:

• Your request must center around a femslash pairing or poly arrangement involving at least two women.
• The femslash should be front and center of your requests in this post.
• You can include any characters you want - if you're requesting gender-bending, please do note that clearly in your post.
• Use your good judgement about ships with non-binary, gender fluid, genderqueer etc. characters; I'm thinking along the lines of the Femslash Ex rules, where you can include them if you'd be comfortable tagging any works about them as femslash.
• If you are asking for femslash in a fandom where you requested Worldbuilding, no characters, or just one character, this is perfectly fine! Just talk up the kind of pairings you'd want to receive in your comment.
• Another idea is to note whether you're interested in porn or prefer more G/T-rated content.

Fandom: Femslash requests in To the Chapel Perilous (Naomi Mitchison), Legends of the Wolf (Alice Borchardt), and The Gilda Stories (Jewelle Gomez).

Requested Characters/Ships (if applicable): Ygraine la Grande/Lienors Blanchemains, Lienors Blanchemains/Guinevere; Regeane/Lucilla; and any involving Gilda, Bird, or Original Gilda for The Gilda Stories.

One sentence pitch for your ship: My ships include:
-intrepid reporter/her boss... IN ARTHURIANA
-intrepeid reporter/Guinevere
-The pope's mistress (also runs brothel)/naive innocent abused werewolf in medieval Rome
-VAMPIRES with SEXY BLOOD DRINKING and also influences from old-style feminist scifi eutopia writing

Any Other Details: These are all books, two standalone, and my prompts only require the first book in the Legends of the Wolf series. They are also all in print! (The Mitchison was reprinted if you are reading that and going WHAT)! There is a lot of canon femslash in The Gilda Stories, and at least one canon femslash scene in Legends of the Wolf (although the MC does marry the male love interest instead).
