Yeah, there was some weird nastiness about MCU FF recently -- like an FF ship can't be "real" if it's popular or in a megafandom.

MCU fandom was such a nice surprise in terms of the sheer variety of F/F, but I feel so weird being into the MCU primarily for F/F (I do have a couple of M/M and M/F ships but I'm here mostly for the femslash) because it's a juggernaut slash fandom. But even outside the Jessica Jones and Agent Carter corners of fandom the fact that there are so many F/F rarepairs (which wouldn't be rarepairs in any of my other tiny/medium-sized fandoms because a lot of them have over 100 fics). I feel like I need to show my "real" femslash shipper credentials whenever I get into a fandom that's primarily not very femslashy but has femslashy corners with a lot of different pairings and a lot of fics just by virtue of the fandom being a big fandom (MCU, Harry Potter, A:LoK and even some corners of Star Wars and SGA and SG-1 fandoms).

SA

Ugh IDK what I did there.

Rest of comment:

..and SGA and SG-1 etc.)

I know I get OTT overdefensive about this because some nonnies on FFA think that femslash shippers should stick to primarily-femslash fandoms with juggernaut F/F ships (and some of those nonnies are femslashers themselves, which is frustrating), but I don't want to, and the last big F/F fandom I got into was...LoK? Or Ghostbusters. I keep having to remind myself that it doesn't make me a Bad Lesbian for being into F/F in smaller fandoms and in femslashy corners of more het/dudeslash focused fandoms.

DA

As another MCU femslasher, you have all my sympathies. The MCU got really interesting for me, femslash-wise, just within the last year. Now we've got the GotG women, the Wakanda women, AND Valkyrie, and and all that together is just exactly what I need for a lot of femslash shipping enthusiasm.

So, solidarity! There's some really great femslash in this fandom. :)
