Wodehousian femmeslash

[derien]

I'm generally not so keen on femmeslash, (although Afrai did a lovely job with War / Pepper) but have read two lately which I like, in Jeeves / Wooster fandom.  Granted, in both the stories - Woosters School For Wayward Girls and Cornette's Twelve Pager - the femmeslash was more background than anything else, but in both cases it was portrayed as a long-standing friendship which developed into a relationship.  This, I think, is the thing I like the most in slash, whether m/m or f/f. 

Can anyone direct me to any fandom where there's more of that sort of femmeslash?  More personalities and relationship oriented, I guess.

I wish "Cornette's Twelve Pager" had a more descriptive name, it took me at least a half hour to find it again to referance it... uh, of course, I kept getting distracted and re-reading a lot of the other J/W out there while I was sorting through links.*blush* *is waaay too distractable*

Well, LotR does, but the ones I know are all hobbits and as such, the characters tend to be more fanon than canon. It's over at Distracted By Bodices (http://www.rosiesamfrodo.com/users/bodices/), if you want to take a look.

And THANK YOU *L* for finding (or rather identifying) 'Cornette's Twelve-Pager'. I'd been looking for it.

*hands you flowers*

Thank you for the link to Distracted by Bodices. :) Now I've read one short one, and I'll hopefully find time to look at that in more depth, soon. Only surprising thing to me... it's hosted on 'rosiesamfrodo' but I don't see any Rosie/Sam/Frodo fic, which seems as though it would be the most obvious.

But Rosie/Sam/Frodo isn't femmeslash, so I didn't mention it.
RSF.com is a domain that offers webspace to hobbit fansites, but there is quite a lot of Framosie. How Easy (http://www.rosiesamfrodo.com/howeasy/) is an archive for it. The most popular one, by far, though, is Mary Borsellino's Pretty Good Year (http://muse.inkstigmata.net/prettygoodyear.html) which is a huge collection of stories in the same AU Frodo-Stayed-Universe (well, actually you've got a choice to go canon or AU, but the AU part goes ever on and on, obviously and the canon stops after Frodo sails away.)
It's quite a good series. I've a number of friends who are absolutely hung up on it.
Contains slash (M/P), femmeslash (Estella/Diamond), and a threesome (Rosie/Sam/Frodo). And Gardner kids being cute.

A lot of authors use femmeslash as a minor plotline, as well, using the view that you could probably fool around with anyone when you were young, but were supposed to wisen up and start a family when you got older. Willow-wode's "Rites of Passage", for example has Frodo's growing up and adapting to life in Hobbiton as a main theme, but there are mentions of femmeslash as a sort of backdrop. They're integral to the story in the sense that they influence how people behave, but don't really have anything to do with the storyline at hand.

Am I rambling? I think I'm rambling.

Anyway, if you want Framosie, there's loads of it out there. *L*

Ah, well of course, how silly of me.

I like reading rambling. :) I unfortunately can't ramble much right now as I have to get to work.
