Let me start with a quote from aroslav's "My Brother Reads Incest Porn. zOMG! He Writes It!":

Of course, it's written from the male point of view. Gah! Why don't some women write this stuff? She's teasing him. She's sexy. She wants it. He can't take it any longer. He pins her against a wall and she melts. If I was writing this stuff, he'd have to work at it if he wanted in my panties. I mean, he'd have to wine and dine me and convince me that he really loved me.

I've read quite the amount of stories on SO, but finding female oriented stories is quite hard. Does anyone happen to have a list of the good stuff, or tips on how to find them?

Wayne Gibbous has written a lot of stories from the female point of view, though I find it hard to imagine a female with the name of Wayne, so find them difficult to get into.
With over 500 to select from - though not all are from a female view - you may find something that appeals to you.

I'm aware the concepts should be split. I merely used the quote as an example and I'm hoping once I figured out how to find female POV stories I'll find the entire spectrum. The real world is diverse, I'm hoping to find that same diversity in stories. SO succeeds in doing this, except most stories are male POV which makes finding diverse female POV hard.

Lostlady is a recent addition to SOL and her stories all appear to be female centric. Be advised that her stories are heavily erotic though.

Would Female Oriented stories be about females from the Orient? I know the PC police disallow Oriental Females, only rugs are Orientals now, they are Asian Females. Not quite sure about Oriented Females. Do they have GPS and a map and a compass?

Enter the Darkness and In the Darkness Falling by Celtic Bard are from a female perspective.

Also, Prince von Vlox wrote stories from a female perspective. He also used the pen name Bruce Bretthauer. I am not sure whether his stories are still on SOL.

Another one to consider is Once More With Feelings by The Night Hawk.

This thread subject has inspired me to re-read some of C J Cherryh's stuff, starting with Cyteen, as a lot of her books have very powerful female leads, continuing with Chronicles of Morgaine, through the Chanur books (with a strong female alien main character) then into the seventeen (so far) volumes of Foreigner which, although told from the perspective of the male main character, has two very important and strong female characters in Jago and Ilisidi. If a couple of shelf-feet of dead-tree isn't enough, I'll go on to Sherri Tepper's Gate to Women's Country

Then maybe I'll re-read Once More With Feelings , which really is a male viewpoint in a female body, and has a vaugely similar feel to Heinlien's Friday
