So you don't want fluffy femslash, but when you do find non-fluffy femslash, it turns you off, because it isn't the femslash you would want for yourself on a personal, attraction level?
It sounds to me like you've set yourself up for a condition of zero femslash that makes you actually happy? Which is fine, if you aren't into femslash. But you want to get more into femslash, it also sounds like?
But it also sounds like you're saying it's maybe the writers and artists fault for not giving you what you want? Which I don't think you mean, but it sounds like you're saying "I want all of this stuff, and they're not giving it to me. But when I get it, I'm not happy with it either. But what do I do about it?" (Or I think that's what it sounds like this post is saying? I may be misinterpreting.)
I mean, I'm a huge femslasher, a writer and a reader of it. I mostly don't jam on the sugar and spice femslash either. But that's what's out there! There's a lot of it and it makes a lot of people happy! Passion and Perfection ran on that for years and it's one of the great-great-grandmas of femslash sites (which is still running, I believe) and femslashers love it.
While it's not my first choice, I do love a lot of that fluffy, non-porny fic and I finish reading a story and think, "That's great! It would be perfect if it only had porn too. But I did like it." Then I either add it to my pinboard recs or I move on.
If I wish it had porn of the type I want, I either hope someone writes it for femslash_kink or I save a note to prompt it for that during a run.
Instead of setting yourself up for a zero-sum condition on femslash you want, why not request something you think you might like and see if you get something you want? Femslash kink and porn writers are out there. They're just not the majority of femslashers - and that's okay too. There's nothing and wrong with being a sugar and spice femslasher and I don't want to make it sound like I think there is.
