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

Letter: https://minebyrights.dreamwidth.org/3622.html (contains general likes/dislikes/DNWs, including of the porny/shippy variety)

The Americans (TV 2013): I requested just Elizabeth Jennings (a Soviet spy undercover in an arranged marriage in 1980s Washington, DC), and I do ship her with her arranged marriage husband, Philip, but I love explorations of her with other women in general, including romantically/sexually. Her with her mark Young-hee from S4? Her being asked to honeypot women? Her having emotionally tense sex/hatesex with handler Claudia? Her with some OFCs back in her childhood in 50s Soviet Russia? Go wild!

Atomic Blonde (2017): I requested just Delphine Lasalle (a French agent who is in a canonical sexual arrangement with the main character, MI6 agent Lorraine Broughton, in 1989 Berlin) and am very interested in more shenanigans with her and other women, Lorraine or OC. Spy femslash shenanigans, tropey as you like, welcome, and some kink (light bondage? Voyeurism/exhibitionism? Fucking in public against walls a la the film itself?) also especially welcome.

Les liaisons dangereuses | Dangerous Liaisons - Choderlos de Laclos: I requested the Marquise de Merteuil (a 1780s French aristocratic woman who plays the perfect young widow but internally is very amoral and plays sexual games with men and schemes to ruin other young women). I'd love her with other women--her with her protege Cecile, about whom she has canonical fascination that could be easily made sexual? Her with her "rival" for Valmont's attention, the uptight and pious Madame de Tourvel? Her with OFCs in her past or during the canon timeline? Manipulative dubcon stuff welcome here, as well as both dom! and sub!Merteuil and bondage-like stuff with ribbons, and honestly if you just know the 1988 film, I'm totally down with characterizations based on that too.

Rome (TV 2005): I requested Servilia of the Junii, a very outwardly upright/honorable/prim, if somewhat cold, woman with an internal domineering streak and a strong desire both for revenge and to control her own fate as best as Roman women could. I'd love to see her tumultuous hateship with fellow noblewoman Atia, her (canonical!) grooming of the younger Octavia for casual sex (whether or not Servilia catches any sort of feelings for Octavia), her with her right-hand slave Eleni (moral complexities of master/slave sex welcome to explore), her with OFCs, whatever.
