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

Femslashy fandoms:

Rocky Horror Picture Show - Magenta/Columbia
* Magenta's an alien. That means she may not have human anatomy.
* Would be happy with a Columbia Lives AU where she joins them on their journey home
* Or backstory about how the two of them connected, in the midst of all the drama and chaos of the mad scientist lab shenanigans

They Might Be Giants (1971) - Daisy Playfair/Mildred Watson
* There's not enough of the two of them interacting in the movie. Would love more, anything from conversations to romance.
* Fridging one or both guys is totally acceptable. (I like Justin, but it's a fandom where male fridging would be entirely appropriate.)
* Justin getting locked up, and Daisy and Mildred teaming up to rescue him (and falling madly in bed love on the way) would be awesome.

Sunstone - Ally, Lisa, Anne; any combo is possible
* Ally/Lisa is the main canon pairing, and I'm happy with anything they do together.
* Discovering a new kink? Going through a list of yes/no/maybes? Lisa and Anne brainstorming for most extreme scene ideas? Ally directing Lisa and Anne?

Dear Author Letter: https://elf.dreamwidth.org/775469.html
I don't focus on femslash, or really on relationship-ish fic ideas much, but I do try to give a sense of what I like.
