Femslash Festivus - the debut

[sathinfection]

Do you want to write femslash for Yuletide? Have you combed through the letters, but have no idea who these characters are, why you might like them, and if the potential recipient is looking for the tropey femslash fic of your shared dreams? Here's your post! 

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 requirements: 

• Your request centers around a femslash pairing or poly arrangement involving at least two characters who identify as female in the canon. The femslash pairing can't just be a smaller part of a long dudeslash prompt. 
• I'm not going around the post policing whether or not your letters are femslash-y enough, but please be considerate and do not ask for genderbent versions of male characters in canon, e.g. asking for always-a-girl!Conan the Barbarian paired with Valeria. 

What you must include:

• Your AO3 name
• All the fandoms where you are making femslash requests, with characters mentioned (so if you are only asking for gen in one fandom, don't list that one) 
• If you are asking for femslash in a fandom where you requested no characters because you wanted worldbuilding or OCs, this is perfectly fine! Just make sure you talk up the kind of pairings you'd want to receive in your post. 

What you should probably include: 

• Some tropes, kinks, or themes you'd want (here's a big list of fanfic tropes from Fanlore - warning that some of these are quite dark)
• A brief description of your ship, if you think it's unfamiliar to most people
• Prompts!
• If you're open to receiving porn for Festivus, note it. 

You are welcome to tag the fics inspired by this post with 'Femslash Festivus.' I also recommend tagging your work with the Misses Clause Challenge, though Femslash Festivus is a separate thing. If anyone wants to start a spreadsheet, that would be deeply appreciated, as I am computer-hopeless. 

And if you're wondering what the heck Festivus is, here's the wiki page for a deeply beloved Seinfeld joke that has actually picked up some traction as a holiday. but please, don't include the Airing of Grievances in your post

And I Awoke and Found Me Here on the Cold Hill's Side - James Tiptree Jr. - Original Female Alien/Original Female Character

I am basically asking for nothing but fucked-up xeno here, so if that's your thing, check out the letter.

Deeply Strange Deep Sea Animals - Female Greenland Shark Mermaid/Original Female Character

I love mermaids, but very specifically deep sea mermaids. Can you imagine a Greenland Shark Mermaid? Who would she fall in love with? Would she try to bring the charming butch sailor into the water with her? Is there some scientist/weird mermaid action? My letter has more probably quite terrible mermaid ideas.

Fallen London | Echo Bazaar - the Silk-Clad Expert

So, you've probably noticed the xeno theme. The Silk-Clad Expert is a woman, who might actually be a spider, but who certainly loves spiders a whole bunch and is interested in spider research. She's adorable, and tries to talk like a spider with her inadequate two hands. I'd love to see her paired up with a female player character or any of the great female NPCs from the game (or Sunless Sea). I give a bunch of prompts in the letter.

I am very open to receiving porny fic.
