So how many anons are still here and why did this place die so quick?

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't gone anywhere! But I tend to lurk more than I talk. And my f/f ships are mostly rarepairs in fandoms that aren't super f/f-focused, so I didn't have much to contribute to start with. :/

[(Anonymous)]

I'm 75% in rarepairs hell, too, that's why I hoped the general threads would pick up activity.

What are you ships?

[(Anonymous)]

It's all live-action of questionable quality, with me! I was one of the people talking in the Dark Matter (TV) thread for a little while there, and I like the DCEU and ship Diana with all the women, even the ones she hasn't met. :D More recently I ended up bingeing Siren (TV), which I actually really enjoy - and I don't mind the canon OT3, but the Ryn/Maddie moments are my favorites. Biggest ship I've got is probably old-school Xena/Gabrielle!

Oh, no, I just watched a fmv for Ryn/Maddie and now my heart is fluttering. There's height difference?!

I'd already heard about the canon ot3 but never saw anything from the show. Are their moments as many as Ryn/Guy's? if that's the case I will check it out immediately!

Yeeeeeeees, Eline Powell is 5'4" and Fola Evans-Akingbola is 5'8" AND YOU CAN TOTALLY TELL, my heart. ♥_♥

aaaaaaaaa I don't want to oversell you on this, I DOUBT IT CAN BE CALLED LEGIT 50-50. I was really pleased with it, but that's because my expectations were low af and I was bracing myself for some YA triangle bullshit where the girls only kissed in my head. So getting something where they'd actually made an effort to have Ryn/Maddie scenes without Guy in sight blew my mind ... but if you go in looking for that from the start, it's probably not as "!!!!!!" as it felt to me. /o\

There's definitely some good personal-space-invasion and kissing and stuff - the show really leans into the "scary fucking apex predator" angle with the mermaids, so S2 has Ryn straight-up murder a guy for hurting Maddie which was super hot to me, help. But I cannot tell a lie, there's also a lot of boring manfeelings, you may be better off sticking with all the fmvs you can find!

I literally JUST found this place. I'd long abandoned ffa because of the weirdness surrounding juggernaut f/f ships but I was looking up old wank and a mention of this meme came up in search, and off I go.

I won't lie, I'm super sad I seemed to have missed the busyness of its early days. But I got a great fic rec out of reading old threads (and also someone RECCED ME I AM CRYING) and I'm just glad that it exists. I have missed meme'ing. I'll probably stick around until it's just me, trying to start new threads like a loser lol

Also I think it's worth noting that because this meme -- by nature? -- lacks the usual less-femslash-oriented threads (general opinions, observed wank, food, etc) it's just going to move slower than ffa, which can generate a lot of activity even for people whose fandoms or fandom threads are quiet that day/week. I'm hoping that doesn't mean it'll die, though.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm still here

not sure whether to blame the dying on the problems endemic to femslash fandom or the problems endemic to literally any time lgbt women try to make anything communal happen lmao

but hey it isn't totally dead YET

[(Anonymous)]

probably a little bit of both.

hopefully it won't! i'd like to see this place grow.

[(Anonymous)]

I tend to just check back every so often when I remember it exists. I contribute if I have something to say, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel bad because I was here to start with but then for some reason I thought the meme was gone? And then I forgot about it. But you're still here!

[(Anonymous)]

i'm here, kinda.

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't been here since the old post lol, I kind of forgot about it and just came to see if it was still going. Shame it's mostly dead now, it was fun!

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I didn't realize it had been that long since I checked back. :(
