Listen, as someone who WROTE a significant chunk of Naruto femslash, there was vanishingly little of it compared to the behemoth sizes of the het and slash sides of the fandom. Also a lot of it was bad. Femslash Naruto was dudebro-dominated and while I did make some friends, I also got comments asking for really specific porn all the time despite the fact that I rarely wrote anything explicit. Really made you feel appreciated as a writer.

And if you wanted to go beyond InoSaku, which I did, you really had to reach because goddamn these women rarely interacted in any meaningful way in the source material.

It was dudebro dominated, yeah. Thinkin about my male friend who wrote PWP Sakura/Hinata porn and when one of our other female friends started reading Naruto and said she liked Sasuke/Naruto, he got huffy and said he was disappointed in her because that ship was "OOC." Because Sakura and Hinata would believably fuck each other but Sasuke and Naruto wouldn't.

It was peak r/menwritingwomen all day every day while I was there. Honestly, the top femslash ship was probably not even Sakura/Ino, but fem!Naruto/Female Character using the Sexy Jutsu.

That said, it does seem like the fandom has changed since the days when the manga was still being released and more voices have entered the femslash writing space since. I checked for recs out of curiosity just now and found some interesting lists. So good for people who still want to read Naruto fics.

I must admit that when I made this secret I had the fan art community in mind moreso than the fanfic side (particularly on certain spaces on tumblr and DeviantArt - particularly DA which had groups that had managed to be fetish-free thanks to diligent moderators before the site started to really go down hill after recent updates) - which admittedly was pretty dumb in hindsight since there's probably more fanfic folk here than fan artists lol.

And yeah all the dudebro contributions X_X there's a handful I found that I had liked, but you do have to swim through the majority of that fun brand of smut to find them.
