Femslash Festivus - the debut

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

Letter: https://triplesalto.dreamwidth.org/1954.html

My femslash requests:
Jeeves – P.G. Wodehouse (Madeline/Honoria)
Political RPF - US 21st c. (Hillary Clinton/OFC)

Jeeves - P.G. Wodehouse
I love Jeeves & Bertie, but my heart truly lies with Honoria Glossop and Madeline Bassett. Honoria is athletic, intelligent, and forthright; she has a strong, booming laugh and is described by another character as “strong, self-reliant, and sensible." Meanwhile Madeline is a Luna Lovegood type, idealistic and whimsical, "bountifully equipped with golden hair and all the fixings," who reads romances by the bucketload and has a lovely tinkling laugh. I think they're an excellent match for each other and have shipped them for forever. See my letter for prompts! :)

Political RPF - US 21st c.
If it's a thing to want fix-it fic for a real person, I want it for Hillary Clinton. Specifically, one of my major desires is for Hillary to have a girlfriend/partner who's devoted to her and will never cheat on her. I have a lot of different prompts and ideas in my letter. Basically, I just want Hillary and her girlfriend to be happy. And be President and First Lady.

I am open to receiving porn for both pairings, as well as art (if that's up your street).
