More About Writing Women - for my own curiosity. :)

[ficwize]

So, my curiosity knows no bounds. I'm interested to see if my perception is skewed, admitting that my perception is based on a self-selected group of friends and communities on my flist.

So, if you don't mind answering this poll, I'd appreciate it. Also, if you want to pimp it to your flist, I'd be curious to see a large sample of answers.

Thanks!



ETA: Please assume that the "/" mark does not indicate sexual relationships unless otherwise indicated. So if you write a mixture of canon male and canon female characters, please check canon male/canon female. Thanks and sorry for any confusion!

Most of my fandoms aren't female-centric, but I do tend to write about the female characters, gen or femslash. Supernatural is a tricky one because the main characters are both male and so is more than half the supporting cast, but of my two fics there one was gen about male characters with a female OC, and one was het from a female perspective.

What draws you to the characters you write about, if I can ask?

And I agree that SPN is tricky. The fandom itself had such a HUGE reaction to the female characters, and it was predominantly negative, making it interesting to write females in the fandom.

That said, I've read some really good SPN fics from Missouri's pov and from Ellen's pov.

Thanks for your thoughts!
