I think the nu!Kirk stuff is far more fresh in people's minds than the Krycek stuff, which is why Kirk is winning. Also, Tarsus IV! (Which is apparently fanon in the new fandom.)
I think there were no women because, hey, MANPAIN. Fans find manpain appealing, but womanpain NSM.

There was Parker.
I enjoy manpain over most womanpain, because most (not all, but most) womanpain hits too close to the bone. Hell, it's been the big block for me in writing any serious always-a-girl Winchester stories. Remove the XY layer of abstraction for me from the worst of it, and I go sympathetic fetal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't even write the word womanpain with the same nonchalance I write I write manpain. There's a gravity that's just not as fun.
Does Faith have a bad fanon childhood?

Faith has a fanon bad childhood. She is one of the womanpain! exceptions in fandom such as I've noticed.

Well, Faith had a bad canon childhood too, didn't she? At least according to her. She's not exactly a reliable narrator.

Most of the bad fanon childhoods have roots in canon. I mean, we know Pa Vecchio was up there with Wyndam-Pryce pere in terms of dicktasticness.
Faith's bad childhood gets a nod in canon, a stronger (more explicit) nod in some grey canon (official tie-in books), and a HUGE nod in fanon.

Canon was that Faith's mother was an alcoholic and left her unsupervised a lot, right?

Always Anti-fascist!
I think so, yeah.
