1) First time you encountered canon femslash

Okay, I am thinking that this might be Degrassi, unless I read The Color Purple in secret before the Paige/Alex seasons. That is fucking WILD. I would have been... in high school! Oh - Buffy was around the same time frame, too, which was another in-secret thing.

16) A fandom where I have so many femslash ships

Any fandom with many women has many femslash ships by default, because I am an aggressive multi-shipper. My first Many Femslash fandom was Roswell - man, what a vibrant and amazing online community, and I was such a little babe. A more recent one is Hannibal, I think. Lots of multi-shipping/rare-shipping in that fandom.

19) Rec day! Canon or fics, as long as it's femslash! Or even shippable!

My absolute favorite: Something more beautiful than is there, Parks & Recreation, Ann/Leslie, by gloss.

21) Thoughts about lesbian tragedy and bad endings?

I guess I'm old enough that I still can't help feeling a weeee bit spoiled when femslash is canon in the first place, but too often a tragic ending is utilized IN PLACE of actual representation, so we don't get canon until five minutes before death, and then you just have one queer woman, and that's much more manageable.
