Femslash Archives - First of a Two-Part Series on Femslash Fic Websites and Collections

Obviously fan fiction can't live without writers, but the people who help spread fanfic to the greatest number of people possible are almost as important. Thousands of authors host their own works at websites, Facebook pages, and Livejournals, but nothing makes life easier for the well-rounded readers, the ones willing to take the plunge into all kinds of new fandoms in the pursuit of good writing, than the people who are willing to make the extraordinary time commitment of creating websites that become the homes for hundreds, even thousands of stories, from dozens of fandoms. In this two-part series, we'll talk to several of these people, all of whom specialize in femslash fanfic. I'll speak to two in Part One - Ralst, creator of the "Passion and Perfection" website and its similarly-named Livejournal community, and Ariestess, one of two authors who create the Femslash Advent Calendars and maintain the collections "Frisked and Conquered" and "Mmm Doctor" at the Shatterstorm Productions website. (The second part will air in January.)
