This is the case a lot for me too. It's easier to slash than femslash because of how a lot of canon writers treat male characters vs how they treat female ones.

Certain mainstream shows and canons do stand out for having their female characters have significant personal interactions with each other, but let's be honest, they're rare proportionally.

I'm a bi woman, and for a long time I've been trying to figure out why I have so many more m/m ships than f/f, and I realized that I only ship non-canonically-paired characters who are shown in canon to have close friendships. The more emotionally intense and intimate and Meaningful the friendship, the more likely I am to ship it. I can't muster up any interest in actively shipping any other kind of characters, even if I can find the ship interesting in theory and/or enjoy fanart involving it. Doesn't matter the gender of the characters---this is true for m/m, m/f, and f/f pairings. And it is overwhelmingly less common for two women to not only be fully, meaningfully developed as characters, but to be depicted in a serious and intimate and at least somewhat thoroughly explored friendship together. I am drawn to certain types of characters, and certain types of narratives, and certain types of canon relationships for my pairings, and those kinds of character types/narratives/canon relationships are almost NEVER given to female characters. I mean, one of my most favorite pairings is Steve/Bucky in the MCU. Everything about their characters, their established canon relationship, and the narrative surrounding them, hits my ship buttons. But you simply do not ever see any of that kind of thing with female characters, because male writers and directors are not interested in writing women that way or assigning them that kind of storyline or relationship with each other.

Yeah, I agree. I'm lesbian and I'd love to read great f/f, but I so rarely get fired up about a ship. M/m stuff just usually feels more developed, and has personalities I'm more interested in.
