The thing is, I just posted this as a comment --
See, I've tried and tried and I so cannot do that (the whole writing about your own sexuality thing). It's rare that I write and read femslash, because it's just... it's obviously great fun when you DO IT but somehow the written word cannot really capture it right. It's all off, and makes me self-conscious, and. stuff.
In writing, it's easier to find m/f and m/m sex, um. sexy. Because it's all theoretical, conceptual, easily idealized because I don't know better. Kind of how action movies make being an action hero look AWESOME, but how it would really suck a lot to get shot all the time and run around in the rain while being intermittently punched in the face.
(Not that penis-sex is like being an action hero or anything, except that it totally is in my head. Excitement! Adventure! Deep Throating!)
-- but now I'm questioning myself, wondering if maybe I don't give femslash enough of a try. Fuck, my problem is that I want it to be like my personal experience when it's femslash. And when it's not, it's off-putting. I can't give suspension disbelief the same way I can with m/m, m/f. But, still! I want to try! Don't suppose anyone could rec any lengthy femslash that they consider very natural & believable? Something where they actually build the emotions & attraction between the girls/women, and it seems natural and sexy?
