for many of the same reasons we'd write femslash (which i have done too), i.e. wanting to write queer storylines. why there's more slash than femslash, probably has a lot to do with the fact that there are more male characters in general, more male characters who have any kind of interaction with each other, etc.

and for me personally, it's hard to explain, but even tho i identify with m/m slash in the sense that they're queer stories and such, writing femslash feels much more PERSONAL. and it's silly but i've also felt like, there'd be a stricter expectation to write it all PERFECTLY since it's what we KNOW. i know that's not true but i can't help feeling it!

that said, i wish there WAS more femslash. not having as many female characters/relationships isn't an excuse for it to be so rare.
