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:

What you should probably include:
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
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.
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.

no subject
letter: https://alexseanchai.dreamwidth.org/1840993.html (in which I observe I'm up for porn and list a bunch of kinks, and also prompts that could go in a femslashy direction at least as easily as a gen direction)
fandoms:
Mary Mary - SJ Tucker (Song)
Mary (Mary Mary - SJ Tucker)
Narrator (Mary Mary - SJ Tucker)
Narrator is assumed female bc Tucker is female; nominated in the singular but there could easily be multiple Narrator characters whose views of Mary's situation are stitched together into the lyrics, so this could go a Mary/Narrator or a Narrator/Other Narrator direction
Mother of the Crows - Seanan McGuire (Song)
Mother of the Crows (Mother of the Crows - Seanan McGuire)
Petitioner (Mother of the Crows - Seanan McGuire)
Petitioner is assumed female bc McGuire is female; nominated in the singular but there could easily enough be multiple Petitioner characters, so this could go a Petitioner/Other Petitioner or a Mother of the Crows/Petitioner direction
Peace & Love Inc. - Information Society (Song)
Peace & Love Inc. Customer
Customer is nominated in the singular but, given context of the song, of course there's millions such, and there's got to be some Customer/Other Customer femslash potential in there :P
