Femslash (or Femmeslash) refers to romance and/or sex between two female characters. "Slash" gets its name from the way writers denote romantic pairings when advising their readers of them in the story's summary: Person A/Person B. Note the slash ( / ) character. Because the majority of South Park characters are male, and screentime for the very few females is limited, there are very few femslash pairings.

- Femslash, or femmeslash, is a genre of slash stories that feature, as a central element of the story, an intimate, often sexual, relationship between female characters. One of the most common femslash pairings in the Harry Potter fandom is between Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley, while pairings between Ginny and Luna Lovegood are also prominent. Less common pairings include Hermione and Luna, Hermione and Fleur Delacour, Ginny and Fleur, or Hermione and Pansy Parkinson.
- As of 2006, femslash is enjoying increasing popularity and is the "dominant form" of slash in some fandoms. Some fans see "slash" as being indicative of a male-male relationship. There is less femslash than there is slash based on male couples; for example, in the Lord of the Rings fandom, only a small number of femslash stories are written about the Arwen/Éowyn pairing in comparison to slash between the male characters. It has been suggested that heterosexual female slash authors generally do not write femslash, and that it is rare to find a fandom with two sufficiently engaging female characters.

Janeway/Seven is the main Star Trek femslash pairing, as only they have "an on-screen relationship fraught with deep emotional connection and conflict". Although it is debated whether fanfiction about canon lesbians such as Willow and Tara of Buffy the Vampire Slayer counts as "slash", their relationship storylines are more coy than heterosexual ones, which entices Willow/Tara femslash authors to fill in the gaps in the known relationship storyline. It is "relatively recently" that male writers have begun writing femslash, and this entry of males into femslash has occurred within Buffy femslash. The femslash authorship is mostly female. The television show The L Word set up a contest at the website FanLib.com where fans could submit a femme slash fanfic. The winner's story was incorporated into a scene of a third season episode.
