My thoughts about: SLASH FANARTS

[mystisblom]

After reading hesychasm`s entry again, I thought about Slash and fanart, because thats the other two things in fandome I'm involved in besides fanfic.
I where allways wondering about the fact that there is so much more femslash than maleslash (only my opinion).
When it comes to fanfiction there are thousends and thousends of male/male fanfiction (accept buffy and some other fandomes) but when it comes to fanart there are more f/f arts than m/m.
There are some, especially in some fandomes like Without a trace or X-files, but when you see "The OC" for example. There are a lot of m/m fanfics and just a handful of f/f but you'll find mostly f/f fanarts.
Is it because of the Pictures, because there are more female pics? I dont think so because there as much Seth+Ryan pics as Summer+Marissa.
So whats the reason?

It's not just the amount of pictures, it's the amount of truly good scans. When I just did fan art because I enjoyed the subject I made more male/male, and when fan art fandom started becoming a lot more about quality I started making more female/female.

Not to mention the fact that there's also more subtext within female pictures, because women not only have more saucy pictures, but they tend to make love to the camera a bit more as well.

Of course, I could swear I've seen more Seth/Ryan art than OC femslash art. I don't know. Maybe we're looking in different places.

Hmm thats true, I never thought about the quality, but youre right the female scans are way better.

The really weird thing for me is when I visit german fanart boards, there are, exept xfiles and without a trace fanarts, mostly f/f fanarts. This was the main reason to make this post :)
And than I thought about Fanart in generall and my thoughts keep going and going and in the end I wasnt sure what i was thinking about, but there where only this cuestion really clear so i asked it.
gosh im really weird at 9 am gg
