The Femslash Ex Collection is open, with tons of excellent stories. If you ever wanted to read Jane Eyre/Mrs. Rochester or original fiction about Cryptozoologist who keeps finding injured animals/Female vet she brings them to, this is your chance.

Here are some of my favorite stories I've read so far:

Annihilation - movie.

Garden of Unearthly Fruit. Eerie, unsettling, weirdly moving post-movie Lena/Ventress.

Bound - 1996 Wachowski Sisters. A pair of sizzling hot, beautifully written, perfectly characterized stories of Corky and Violet after the movie.

Devil Never Saw the Likes of Us. Corky and Violet didn't go looking for more trouble, but they're not exactly going to turn it down.

Good at Something. Corky and Violet and a brand new truck.

Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte.

spreading wide my narrow hands. Reader, I buried him.

Absolutely stunning Gothic Jane Eyre/Bertha Mason in a pitch-perfect style.

Original Fiction I have barely started reading in this category, but Femslash Ex is reliably excellent for it.

Flourishing, and How It Is Done. Hard-bitten Post-apocalyptic Wanderer/Lost Dimensional Traveler from a Better Timeline. My wonderful gift story, with evocative worldbuilding of two very different worlds in this tale of two women who find and lose and find each other again.

Formal Beauty. Art Thief/Woman in a Painting. Gorgeously written and eerie.

I wrote two stories in the collection. Can you find them?

I've requested just fic, but would be delighted with art treats. Particularly a pulp novel cover for the Pulp-Era Butch/Pulp-Era Femme original fiction prompt.

I am very into women's bodies of all kinds, so I would enjoy some physical description of whatever the characters find appealing - beautiful hair, muscular arms, dainty little feet, etc. Or what they find very strange, as appropriate.

My AO3 name is Edonohana.

Tale of the Five Series - Diane Duane )

I know it’s Saturday but the collection only opened late last night, and I have two stories that are too good to wait a week to read and likely to be of general interest to many here. You can check out the entire collection by fandom here, or just original works here.

I got two wonderful stories for the same prompt, Military Officer Desperate To Redeem Her Honor/Loyal Subordinate Trying To Keep Her Alive. Both have fascinating worldbuilding, nicely structured plots, great characters, and ALL the military camaraderie and loyalty one could possibly want. I hope you’ll read them both, as they’re both well worth reading and quite different. (Also it’s always fun to read two different takes on the same prompt.)

Loved I not Honor more .

Ten Percent for Luck.

I haven’t had time to read much beyond my own stories, but I did read an absolutely delightful Shuri/Original Female Character story, “Citation Flirtation,” with banter that could have come straight out of Black Panther. T’Challa plays a charming supporting role.

I had tons of fun with FemslashEx, and highly recommend browsing the archive.

My recipient was [personal profile] scioscribe aka Scioscribe, who wrote me two lovely Treats last Yuletide! FemslashEx allows prompts for original fiction, and this is the prompt I wrote for:

Female Revolutionary/Princess

Class issues, identity porn, loyalty kink, and compromised principles: hell yeah. I think ideally I would like this one in a fantasy world, but I’m open to other possibilities. I’d love to see about any variation on this I could think of. Is the revolutionary undercover in the palace, getting ready to overthrow the monarchy while falling for the princess? Is the princess on the run from the revolution, disguising herself, and falling in amongst the rebels? Do either of them begin to rethink their principles or their policies? Is the revolutionary agitating in the open, and the princess is intrigued by her radical ideas? Other things I’m totally here for: wearing a crown while being thoroughly debauched by a revolutionary, hurt/comfort, kneeling, undressing from gowns and corsets, and virgin princess/experienced revolutionary.

Isn't that great? I found it very inspiring.

I wrote Burn, an epistolatory exercise in Ultimate Identity Porn. The revolutionary hides her face to conceal her identity. The princess silences her voice to preserve her purity. They know each other. And they don't...
Femslash Exchange 2017 is open! The original fiction stories look especially tempting; also, there's Jane Eyre/Helen Burns. Off to read my gift story (resistance fighter/glamorous '40s singer) now!

Also, have two cats hugging:

ETA: I changed my sign-up several times since I posted this, so if you looked early on, look again if you're interested.

Dear FemslashEx Writer or Artist,

Thank you so much for writing for me! This is my first time doing FemslashEx, so I'm really excited.

(I only requested art for one fandom; however, if anyone is moved to do an art treat for me in any of them, I would absolutely love that.)

Loves, DNWs, and notes/prompts for my fandoms (Aliens, Carrie, Original Work, Star Trek: Classic Timeline, and X-Men comics (Marvel 616). Read more... )
