That sentence was supposed to be "I've decided to try to write more female characters, which is probably related to my feminist identity" not "I'm not much of a het writer, which is probably related to my feminist identity." Sorry - that really wasn't clear, and I hope I didn't ofeend you with my failure to accurately construct a sentence - in no way did I mean that someone can't be a het writer and a feminist, which would be a ridiculous claim to make about someone. I'm not much of a het writer because I want my fic to have more gay characters, which is probably partly because I am gay and I don't see gay people in my TV shows (hence why I'd love for Lorne to have been opely gay!) It has nothing to do with me being feminist.
I also think that not all femslash is explicitely feminist just because it is femslash
Couldn't agree more, and you're definitely right, I think, about it being about how you write - there's some horribly anti-feminist fem/slash where it's all about who's the "man" and the "woman," for example.
