Reading meanderings

[selenay]

I've been wanting to read something for the past few days, except I'm not quite sure what it is that I want to read. I've returned to an old favourite (The Black Gryphon, Mercedes Lackey, for the curious) but it's not really scratching the itch.

I think that I can identify part of the problem. What I really want to read is a good, meaty, novella to novel length Teyla/Weir fic rated at around the R (maybe NC-17, if I'm totally honest) range with plenty of plot and intrigue to go with my romance and smut.

Except it doesn't exist.

Why does it seem to be so hard to find really good femslash in most fandoms? Xena and Buffy were probably the exceptions to the rule. In most fandoms, you'll find a mixture of short smutty and short angsty fics, usually not a whole bunch of either, and almost no long, novella type femslash fics. Except that's exactly what I want to read. Yup, I love me some m/m slash too but there's lots of it and I have a whole folder of fics bookmarked to read that fit into the m/m slash novella to novel type of fic. But no femslash and definitely none for the pairing that I most want to read right now.

So I'm going to be picking up old favourite books that really don't fit the bill, reading the odd bit of girlporn (mmmchelle and sdraven have both helped there *g*) and wishing for what I really want to read because it just doesn't exist yet. Or at least, I don't think that it exists yet. If anyone wants to prove me wrong, go right ahead.

Give me a novel of girlporn. Dammit.

Indeed. Hardly anybody seems to be writing such a thing and it's very frustrating. Grrr.
