I feel like femslash in general is lacking, because there usually isn't a ton of important female characters in a show. When shows have a bunch of important female characters they tend to have a lot more femslash.

Now that you mention it, the one that's doing well is set in a single canon whereas the other one is a crossover. (And I definitely agree that the number of female characters certain becomes apparent when you start trying to write fic with them and you realize that dammit there's no one for X to have coffee with!)

But that said, if I compare another crossover I wrote featuring the same 'main' fandom to the floundering femme-slash one, the stats are even more damning. (And, for the sake of some form of fairness, the crossover I chose to compare the femme-slash fic to is newer and features a friendship between two female characters - one from each fandom. And of those two women, one is generally despised by the fandom that she comes from for being (unhappily) married to a guy they'd like to see all the gay sexy times for. The femme slash fic is between two main characters, one of whom is loved and the other of whom has an ambivalent to hostile fandom with patches of deep love for the character to make things interesting.)
