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.

Janelle Monae and Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same
Like time travelling android revolutionaries? Then Janelle Monae is probably your jam, literally. Like David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust (with slippage between Janelle the musician, Janelle the persona, and Cindi the character), Janelle Monae is Cindi Mayweather. an Alpha Platinum 9000 android from the future who is sentenced to death for falling in love with a human, Anthony Greendown, goes on the run and travels through time, eventually becoming the leader of the android revolution. Given that the story concept from the few albums out (Metropolis the Chase Suite ep, The Archandroid, and The Electric Lady) is in no way linear and is mostly alluded to, that's about all you need to know, and there's ample room for extrapolation, and most importantly in this case, lots of basically original femslash. 

Ladies appear throughout Monae's songs and videos (most links to YouTube):These posts from Autostraddle and Persephone magazine do a great job of pointing out the queerness of her songs (with additional lyrics and links) and you can find all of her videos on YouTube.

Like adorable and hilarious lesbian romcoms with a charmingly low budget scifi B movie aesthetic? Then consider Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same, the story of 3 lesbian space aliens (and one shy human greeting card store employee) who find love and heartbreak on Earth while being tracked by the "men in black." Here's the trailer and links to places to rent the film, and it's also streaming on Netflix.
