Your reaction makes a lot of sense, but to be fair, what's the point of genderswap if you're not going to bother to change anything else about the character? If they're just the exact same person with a different gender, I can't really see the point of changing it at all, haha.

Then again, I've never been big on genderswap (and can only tolerate it in pairings when both are switched because I've seen too many people only do it to keep things as het as possible), so.

I have a soft spot for swapping both parties in a slash couple to make a femslash story. Not sure how much of that is just desire for more femslash in general, but anyway.

Too bad the majority of genderswap is "swapping the less attractive dude (into a really attractive lady???) to get with the guy the entire fandom has the hots for". Not one exception.

haha, this reminds me that I used to see a few SGA lady!Rodney/Sheppard fics where Rodney was drop dead gorgeous as a woman for some reason. Good times...

Oh, SGA, I miss that fandom :( I think a lot of those fics just described him as a pudgier version of his sister? Which is okay I guess, but still.

Recently in Hobbit fandom, an extremely well-known and popular fic had fem!Bilbo work as a lingerie model. So...

The actor's RL sister who played his sister on the show is attractive so maybe that's why? (I know, I was surprised too!)

It's funny, but as someone who shares that desire, I can never really get into stories like that, especially if I'm familiar - even in passing - with the source work. It's just impossible for me to dissociate the characters from who they are in canon. Can't do it.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it works in small doses -- a one-shot, or a really far-out AU. If it were, I don't know, a lengthy retelling of canon, I probably wouldn't be able to suspend my disbelief.

[(Anonymous)]

I also don't really like really far-out AUs, and I pretty strongly prefer longer fic as well :/

Ah well, what are you going to do, except hunt down all of the femslash

[(Anonymous)]

Lengthy femslash is itself a unicorn of a beast, you're giving me a tall order here, lol.

On some fucking medieval chivalric quest shit

Gonna go into the woods and purify myself beneath a waterfall before setting out with my trusty steed to seek out and capture the wily femslash

Are you at all interested in Xena? Actually, you don't need to be interested in Xena, I have tons of uberfic recs for you, if you're looking for the elusive long femslash...
