[2015] in femslash
So since the way femslashbb works this year is by word count and not necessarily by ONE big story, I though it would be prudent (and interesting) to collect my femslash list and see where I stand in terms of (a) things created and (b) word count. It was quite a trip down memory lane, tbh - there's a lot of fun stuff from this year that I've forgotten about!
This list (for the most part) doesn't include gen stories with fem-pairings in the background. There are a couple of Buffy/Tara pieces here that are more on the ~gen side of life - but are focused on the domesticity of how they become each other's family and so I included them. But like: the Cleveland Slayers aren't included and my F.R.I.E.N.D.S. rewrite was also left out since those stories don't focus on a pairing or on lesbian domesticity/dynamics.
