Give me so many female characters that the F/F fic on AO3 outweighs the M/M fic.
may I point you to the skins (uk) fandom? The f/f following is huge due to the fan preferred (and cannon to boot) lesbian super couple Naomi and Emily and all of their beauty. The series is separated into generations, and though gen 1 has more m/m due to an explicitly gay character and arguably bisexual boy who had a prolific sex scene and the extensive homoerotic subtext between the latter boy and his best friend (who sleep in the same bed, one partially and he other totally naked in an episode, and in another have a conversation featuring the dialogue "I always loved you the best"), the other generations (2&3) are mostly comprised of lesbian shippers.
All of that said, avoid the universally despised "Skins fire", part of a finale series that told the "what happens now?" stories of three main characters. To put it bluntly, the fuckers gave one half of the aforementioned super couple a fatal cancer and the fandom massacred the writers for it. If you never watch it, the mourning need be avoided. It's disgusting how often the female characters are slain. It's fucking gross and I'm am so seriously pissed off about it. It's the reason I started writing in the first place. I wanted dynamic females, beautiful and broken and strong who I knew would make it to the end of the book/movie/episode and when life wouldn't give me them I wanted to write them myself. I'm actually looking in to writing some scripts for a few ideas I've had and pitching them to some networks because I NEED A STORY THAT MEETS MY NEEDS EVEN IF I HAVE TO DO IT MYSELF.
