I have this problem with m/f romantic comedies, too. I'm okay with high school movies, because the teen garbage comes to the forefront, but find it harder to deal with stories aimed at adults. I am sure there was going to be something in my original post about how much easier it is for me to write m/m than f/f (because I started talking about my mom and she is baffled by this), and i think even when she's with another woman, I find it hard not to get tied up in what my female character is thinking people will think about her if she fucks with abandon. I do much better with original fiction than fan fiction for f/f, I think because it's simpler for me to put original characters into a context where that's not a worry than it is for me to wrench female characters out of their male-dominated canons. idk. I do think it's pretty telling that the easiest f/f I wrote in fandom was Kaylee/Inara, who lived in the future, and were canon sex-positive.
