The femfirmative-johnlock blog on Tumblr has got me thinking about how I write women in my Sherlock fics.
This is Part One. Part Two, which focuses on my Johnlock fics only, should follow in the next few days.
(WARNING: This little essay contains spoilers for all my fics, obviously)
Now, I really like all the women characters in Sherlock the show - despite serious missteps by the writers for most of them, I find them pretty rich and rewarding to explore. Yet I’ve written so many Johnlock stories where they barely appear at all. I do feel this is balanced out by the fact that I write a lot of poly/OT3/threesome fic where women are very present and strong, and I’ve also written femslash (I sail the tiny but fierce gunboat Marene), and I’m also one of the mods of the Get Mrs Hudson Laid blog and AO3 collection.
Part 1 is about women in my fics that are not Johnlock (in the sense of the Johnlock pairing being a dyad only). Here’s a list of those under the Read More (cause it’s loooong). All are rated Mature or Explicit unless marked otherwise). Questions and commentary very welcome.
( Read more... )
If you’ve read this far, THANK YOU!! I hope you find something on the list you might enjoy. Questions and comments very welcome, but no women-character hate please.
Part 2 will focus on the role of women in my Johnlock fics.
