Pierce fandom: PPF Lady!fic?

[peroxidepirate]

As I was reading PPF fic this morning, I realized that it seemed like there was a whole lot of guy!slash. And that's cool, because some of it's lovely, and people are really excited about it. And Pierce writes fantastic characters of both sexes, so it's nice to see a lot of the guys getting their due in fic.

But personally, I'm a crazy Pierce fangirl because of the kick-ass ladies -- who don't, typically, play the starring roles in guy!slash.

Then I wondered if maybe I was just noticing the slash so much because a lot of times, Pierce fandom doesn't have very much of it.

So I counted. I didn't re-read while doing the count; I just clicked open every story and looked at the pairing(s) listed at the top. Here's what I got:

• M/F (including multipartner and multi-pairing fics, if there are both males and females listed in the "Pairings" slot in the header): 18
• Male (including M/M, multipartner and multi-pairing where all listed characters are male, and male/other (elemental, object, etc): 19
• Female (including F/F, multipartner and multi-pairing where all listed characters are female, and female/other): 5

Possibly I should have broken down the M/F category further, because a sizable number of those are multipartner fics, and I honestly can't recall how many skew which way, gender-wise. Also, I'm sure at least a few of the M/M fics still feature female characters in key roles, or tell the story from a female character's viewpoint. But still, that's kind of a surprising breakdown for Pierce fandom (at least my familiar corner of it).

Anyway:

This brings me to my main point, which is: PPF needs some more female-centric fics! Het or femslash or female/other; sweet or angsty or just crack-tastic, we need more ladies being awesome. Entries only have to be 500 words, so I figure I can kick out three or four, anyway (plus the two I've already talked about, which are almost done). But I need back-up! Who's with me?

Oh, spy romance is the best! I bet they'd try so hard to surprise and out-sneak each other. I <3 Aly even though she's an arrogant little shit and the books she's in are far from my favorites, partly because she's unrealistically badass.
