I don't really know any fandoms other than Sherlock, but it drives me crazy that even with characters like Irene Adler, -- and I understand your issues with her in BBC canon, but she's indisputably a female who doms men -- the fic for her is overwhelmingly... Either totally vanilla, or if she tops anyone it's only women.
Anyway, I'm generally frustrated at how often women in fic are sexually submissive, even when it runs against their characterization. I suppose it's just what most readers prefer, but female submission of any kind (but particularly to a man) is a pretty big squick for me, so...
Um, how about Janet/Michael? Or Janet/Chidi could be fun. Anne Shirley/Gilbert Blythe, lol.
