Does anyone know the Matthew Swift series by Kate Griffin? The entire series only has 20 stories on AO3 and only 4 on FFnet (one in Polish). I'd really love to nominate at least five of the following ladies, but I don't know if anyone knows who they are.

Penny Ngwenya
Kelly Shiring
Sharon Li
Oda Ajaja (a.k.a Oda Ajaja-Brown, a.k.a. Oda)
Nabeela Hirj
Dr. Seah
Lady Neon
Vera of the White Clan

Still trying to think of who else to nominate.

Discworld:

Eskarina Smith (1 complete fic in English on AO3, 0 on FFnet)[cisfemale, sexuality unknown]

Esmerelda "Granny" Weatherwax (61 complete fics in English on AO3, 5 on FFnet)[cisfemale, aromantic, possibly asexual]

Gytha "Nanny" Ogg (55 complete fics in English on AO3 [and I'm sure that she's not starring in all of them], 2 on FFnet) [cisfemale, stated in canon that her "voyages on the sea of intersexual dalliance had gone rather further than twice around the lighthouse," which is stated here to imply that "Nanny's experiences were not limited to the inshore waters of male/female relationships.")

Madam Sharn (2 complete fics in English on AO3, 0 on FFnet)[dwarf presenting as female, biology unknown, sexuality unknown, has physically male and biologically human lover who has adopted dwarfism as a culture]

Maladict (87 complete fics in English on AO3 [no idea how many are starring Maladict], and 24 on FFnet (though not under the name of Maladict--you have to look under "Polly P.", the only named character from Monstrous Regiment on FFnet]) [Could be interpreted as either a cross-dressing lesbian vampire or a transman vampire]

Highlander the Series

[gehayi]

Annie Devlin (1 story on AO3)
May-Ling Shen (1 story on AO3)
Rachel MacLeod (3 stories on AO3 [though it doesn't look like she's starring in any of them])
Cassandra (67 complete stories in English on AO3, 32 on FFnet)
Claudia Jardine (6 complete stories in English on AO3)

I'm unable to check the number of stories on FFnet containing Annie, May-Ling, Rachel or Claudia as they are not listed as characters by FFnet's filters...though that probably says something all by itself.

Emelan -- Tamora Pierce

[gehayi]

Rizuka fa Dalach (lesbian woman--3 complete stories in English on AO3, I can't find any on FFnet)
Dedicate Lark (lesbian woman--131 complete stories in English on AO3, 7 on FFnet)
Evumeimei Dingzai (woman--20 complete stories in English on AO3, 16 complete ones on FFnet
Daja Kisubo (lesbian, depicted as girl and woman--68 complete stories in English that are 1,000 words or more [out of 156 complete stories]; 21 complete stories in English are 1,000 words or more in length on FFnet [out of 39])
Trisana Chandler (aromantic asexual, depicted as girl and woman--69 complete stories in English that are 1,000 words or more in length [out of 159 complete stories] and 39 complete stories in English that are 1,000 words or more on FFnet)


It's worth noting that FFnet does NOT group all the Emelan books under the same heading, so there are separate listings for different books and sets in the series: The Circle of Magic (4 books), The Circle Opens (4 books), The Will of the Empress (1 book), and Melting Stones (1 book). There's no listing at all for Battle Magic, the newest book in the series.
