SA Although there some fandoms that do (or at least did) have a lot of f/f back in the day. In Xena: Warrior Princess fandom, the most popular ships were Xena/Gabrielle and Xena/Callisto. So did a lot of anime fandoms with female leads and/or majority female casts. Sakura/Tomoyo (Cardcaptor Sakura) was very popular. Dirty Pair had a lot of Kei/Yuri.

Also, AO3 leans heavily towards m/m slash because it was created by m/m slash fans, heavily for m/m slash fans because m/m fans were tired of their fanworks being deleted without warning on other platforms.

Oh, yeah, there are definitely f/f fandoms, I know it well.

But, in the kind of fic-writing transformative fandom that I have in mind when I say "fandom" in this context, it's clear that m/m substantially outweighs everything else.

Hmm. AO3 was created years ago, though. If there was some massive untapped thirst for F/F, it would be more prominent.

I've written all orientations in pairings and people do read F/F! It's just that most huge fandom juggernauts are M/M or M/F.

It's because fandom is mostly straight women and those straight women find men kissing hot. It's that simple.
