femslash fanwork trope fest?

So I was chatting with a friend today about how one of the sad things about the overall lack of femslash in fandom is that you get less femslash with all the awesome fandom tropes that I enjoy - bodyswap, timeloops, third party realises they're made for each other and sneakily gets them together, so on and so forth.

Gee, says I, there should be a fest or something for that.

Then, says my friend, go make something.

So! Informal polling of the masses, some questions:

1. Would you be interested in such a thing? Should it be just femslash or also female friendships?

2. What format would you like? A community with prompt claiming, a post on my journal for comments with prompts and fanwork responses kink-meme style, something else? I am definitely thinking all fandoms, all kinds of fanworks, for maximum enjoyment. And, ngl, anything that is relatively low-maintenance for me, as I want this to exist but also am busy with other things I need to finish up.

3. And, most importantly, gimme your favourite fandom tropes! What would you like to see for Amy&River, Cara&Kahlan, Toph&Katara, Gwen&Morgana or whoever.

eta: oops, accidentally 3am, should probably go to bed. Carry on, will plan some more in the morning!

eta2: update here.

*flails* I have no idea how it had never occured to me until now that I really need to read a bunch of femslash cliche fic.

Tropes wise, I second soulbonding, physical bonding (in the "Whoops, we handcuffed ourselves together and lost the key" sense), telepathy and animal transformation, because those are some of my favourites.

I'd also like to add bodysharing (my favourite slightly more obscure cousin of bodyswap), truth or dare, strip poker (or whatever. Strip prime-or-not-prime! Strip three dimentional chess! Strip card games on motorcycles!), characters finding fanfiction about themselves, and truth spells/curses/serum.

bodysharing! I had forgotten it, but I too adore it and in fact think it's EVEN COOLER than bodyswap. So, seconded. :)
