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!

I went back to have a look at what I'd written - there were more f/f and m/f than I expected. I've written very gen-ish Scott/Jean, and gen Eletktra & Mystique, which I was surprised at since I would have said that my OTPs in X-Men were Charles/Erik and Scott/Logan. But looking with a critical eye, most of the fics I've written with female characters have been written for prompts. Most of the fics I've written spontaneously have been male/male.

It's an interesting way to look at oneself - I know that when I'm dabbling in a new fandom, the pairings I see are slash, not het. And more m/m than f/f. Weird.

Thanks for such a thinky post!
