I hear you! I have the same frustrations, so I've been slowly stockpiling femdom (and femdom-adjacent) fanfics on Ao3. The only trouble with fanfiction is that, if you aren't familiar with the fandom from which a fic was spawned, you have to put in considerable work to acquaint yourself with their source material—books, films, TV, games, whatever...... reply
I love your fourth pitch. Go with that one—it sounds like you've given it the most thought out of all your other options, and your enthusiasm for it really shines through. There isn't enough GL fiction out there; you can remedy that dearth! Young writers like you are the future.
Full disclosure: I fully admit to my bias. I am excessively fond of...... reply
Hello. We are the Yaoi Critics Association, here to welcome you to the fold.
There's a lot of mediocre or subpar material out there to slog through to get to the good - and that's true of many, many things. SciFi. Young Adult fiction. Poetry. You know how they say 99% of [insert your pick of medium/genre] is shit. It's true. All of it.
So I compl...... reply

Dear queers of Mangago, I would love to hear your most wistful, sentimental, unflinchingly gay "one that got away" stories! I'll start by sharing mine.
There was this girl at my university who was both effortlessly self-possessed and prepossessing. We moved in similar circles. I'd had my eyes on her for over a year before I made a move. (This is where you roll your eyes and go, "lesbians".) She reciprocated. That day I was elated. I'd never imagined my first time asking someone else out would go this smoothly.
Unfortunately, the timing was... off. She was graduating that very same year, and moving to another state - so I agreed to keep things casual. The summer we spent together was great, lots of beach excursions, and in the end we parted ways amicably. No contact, we decided. Cleanly. Maturely. But in truth it hurt.
A little while later she contacted me again. She was visiting and wanted to rekindle something casual. I knew if I dove back in I wouldn't be able to keep it casual, so I said no. So that's it. Now I've gotten enough distance from the whole thing to look back on it all without regret - maybe even with fondness.
