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

Fandoms with potential femslash prompts:
Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic (Female Revan/Juhani)
Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (Meetra Surik/Mira)

Both of these are older video games set in the same corner of the Star Wars universe's history.

f!Revan/Juhani is canon but sadly under-developed as an actual romance plotline compared to the het relationships in the game--the characters have an interesting mutual history that they slowly figure out over the course of the story, and toward the end when they may be about to die they confess their mutual feelings (or at least Juhani does; Revan can reciprocate if the player chooses), but there's not a lot of build-up to the moment and nothing much else ever happens or comes of it. I would love seeing any of this filled in a bit via missing scenes and such!

Mira/Surik (a.k.a. the Jedi Exile) is not canon at all and there's essentially no fic for it. You could be the first! (Well, that I've ever found, anyway). Tough, smart-mouthed bounty hunter who hates killing x the world-weary, semi-disgraced former Jedi general she'll kill for without blinking--what's not to like?

There are more general prompts, likes and such in my letter-

In terms of slash tropes, I'm a fan of friends-to-lovers, loyalty (especially loyalty reciprocated), slowly building trust, dealing with the past, saving each other (in a myriad of senses), and also characters who are into one another just doing canon-appropriate stuff together--dodging Sith troopers and wraid beasts, training, talking about the Force, whatever. I'm definitely open to smut, although my tastes in that area run relatively soft-focus and a bit vanilla (definitely yes: lots of foreplay, lots of touching, hesitations overcome, discovering one another's bodies, rough sex when both parties are into it, character thoughts about what's going on; not so much: graphic body fluid stuff, serious pain, noncon/dubcon, formalized BDSM).
