Sell Your Fandom/Pairing (and a pitch for the pinch hit list)  
Sign ups open in a couple days, but in the meantime, take a moment talk up your favourite pairings and fandoms. Get offers! Get fans! Get someone to at least watch/read/listen to the bloody thing!

Use the comment space on dreamwidth, or make your bid on tumblr and tag it "Femslashex." We'll keep track and make a links list.


ALSO! Please consider adding your name to the pinch hit list.

All you have to do is join the group, and you'll get e-mails when we're looking for pinch hits. No obligation to claim anything, but if you want to, you can just reply to the e-mail or the notice on the group page.

Pinch hitting is a great way to help out, both because it's pinch hitters that make fests work and because if you're choosy you can pick over things before you claim them. I'm also a fan of pinch hit lists just because I like getting to see who asked for what and so on.

Akuma no Riddle is a series about two things: girls who like girls and assassins. It's the kind of stupidly fun, action-y premise that so rarely graces the yuri genre. It's an almost all-female cast with a whole bunch of f/f text and subtext. It was recently adapted into a 12 episode anime and has an on-going manga.

Teppuu is an on-going manga about women's MMA with an all-around great portrayal of women of differing personalities, a boatload of f/f subtext, and a fantastically jerkish and mean-spirited protagonist up against a plucky, well-meaning antagonist. If you like f/f rivalry ships, I have a hard time thinking of a better fandom because you have so many options (Natsuo is simply the queen of foe yay). But at the same time, there are supportive ships between women on friendlier terms if that's more your style.

Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken (released simply as "Fire Emblem" in English) despite its age still stands as one of my favourite installments in the Fire Emblem franchise (and to say I love every FE game I've ever played isn't an exaggeration). Fire Emblem as a franchise tends to have a fair bit of same gender subtext and the pairings nominated for this exchange are no exception. If you don't want to, can't or simply don't have the time to play the game, transcripts of support conversations between the characters are readily available online for your perusal.
