Re: Why is femslash so small in most fandoms?

Eh, a lot of people just aren't into femslash (and many fanfic writers are straight women who don't really care for writing f/f romance. Not to say that there isn't femslash written by straight women or m/m written by lesbians though). It's the same way we have some fandoms that are obviously het dominated or m/m dominated or how some fandoms have a lacking of them.

There are a few fandoms where femslash either reigns supreme or at least outweighs m/m. I know grey's anatomy had a pretty loyal femslash following (though it didn't outnumber the het). And Rizzoli and Isles is crawling with femslash. There are a couple of other fandoms too but I can't think of them atm. The pairing Kim/Shego from Kim Possible was pretty popular too and definitely overtook any m/m the fandom had

The Good Wife is another where I'd say there's a significant f/f fandom, or at least what there is of fandom is at least 50% femslash focused.

ayrt

This greatly intrigues me...

Is the show itself pretty good?

I think so? But you kind of have to like procedural and/or law shows. It features Kalinda Sharma, though, who is, like, one of the most amazing characters on network television. She's canonically bisexual, Indian, and has a fascinating relationship with the show's main character, Alicia Florrick, wherein they kind of become Best Friends and are badasses together, but then stuff happens and they have to work their way around to being friends again, and it's all slow and sad but ultimately (I thought) worth it.

But yeah. I deeply enjoy the show. And the fandom seems to deeply enjoy Alicia/Kalinda fic, which I actually am not a huge fan of, but I do get the appeal.
