f/f writing community

[julesjones]

Tidying up my email, and found something I meant to post a while back -- LJ community for lesbian-centric writing discussion, both profic and fanfic. Only women are allowed to join as members, but the markets postings are unlocked and open to all to view. I know a couple of the f/f writers on my flist already have it friended, but there are more of you who might be interested.

How... misoandristic. :-(

I'm sure there are those who'd say "There! See how you like it!" but I can't understand the thinking here. It's like excluding women from a m/m writing community.

Addendum: that's me speaking as someone who is (oh, so slowly...) writing a pro-market-aimed fantasy novel with both m/f and f/f scenes of an explicit nature.

Reading the detailed info on the profile page, I suspect that the main reason for the restriction is that they've had problems with straight men who have only joined to get free Hot Girl On Girl Action porn, or to troll.

Ah. Well, that makes sense, in a way. Although it probably means that the heavy and/or mouth breathers vastly outnumbered the literary men, which is just sooo depressing.

Teenage boys annoy me a lot, regardless of their biological age.

Thanks -- I'll check it out.
