"early" femslash texts
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
fox1013's excellent post here asks what people would consider "early femslash texts," and if they even existed. I skimmed through the comments and not a lot of people seem to be touching on that question, so I am throwing it out more widely in its own post because I am really curious.Xena was the given (and, dude, I just noticed that
brown_betty's fandom chart doesn't even have Xena on, which is odd as there's a very clear Xena to Buffy connection in my mind though I don't know about anyone else), and I came up with Voyager and quasiradiant with West Wing and the Wing Swing, but those are all 90s fandoms, and we know the m/m "We all started with Kirk/Spock" fanthropological statement. So. Cast your minds back, those of you who can (I, unfortunately, cannot). cdybedahl suggests that there was Uhura/Rand. Anyone else verify that? I'd be shocked if there wasn't a Charlie's Angels movement or something around Emma Peel, say. *g* Or, hell, Wonder Woman comics, if there was a comics "fandom" as such.So. First femslash fandom you can think of. Go.
(all this femslash meta! It's like, my god, we do exist! *g* Loving it!)

And I find the lack of X-Files slash disturbing. See, that's a show that's kind of comparable to Doctor Who in that the m/f partnership is the real driving force, Scully is a wonderfully strong character, so on. So I guess it just does go to show that femslash is so on the rise (better late than never) if a show like Who can get better at hitting it out of the park than XF did. Huh.
