I think that's why I liked what the movies did with Arwen and Eowyn. They felt more involved in the story, not so separate.
I rarely see m/m in things. And when I do -- well, no, I'm not interested in tab A fits in slot C. Frankly, I don't really like excessive amounts of tab A fits into slot B. When I write a sex scene, it needs to be there for the characters and the story to progress.
I admit I write non-canon females into stories. Usually because I need a viewpoint character, or because there simply aren't enough women in the show. That's why I wrote a couple of very long stories in Highlander with a non-canon Immortal -- Jehanne d'Arc. I'm very proud of those. I have three or four shorter stories I need to finish, and a couple of longer ones in that same universe.
And I agree. There are more female characters, and more original female characters, in fanfic today. Maybe the seesaw is tilting. I don't ask for a majority. I'd just like it a little closer to parity.
