I love femslash and hurt/comfort. I hadn't noticed the lack of intersection before you pointed it out.
2. seems to me to be one of the reasons for the lack of femslash in general, not especially for hurt/comfort.
Indeed, when I read or write hurt/comfort, I often use canon "hurt" and bother only with the comfort, so for me 1. doesn't really play, I guess. On the contrary, if the hurt is already in canon and I can put some confort on it - even if it means extrapolate before - it's all good.
Have you searched about what are the more frequent "types" of story in femslash, what genres take the place of hurt/comfort? I'm interested now!
