Have you noticed how much Goncharov fic is femslash? it's a lot. the whole phenomenon is wonderful, but this is probably the most fascinating thing about it (to me, at least)
I have noticed, and it is fascinating! To update some of my Goncharov stats from 3 days ago, now that the AO3 fandom presence has grown from 40 to over 500 fanworks (!!!):

With those smaller numbers a few days ago, I was really just goofing around (you can't conclude much about which ships are "winning" with only 40 fanworks, but I wanted to contribute some fun graphs to the Goncharov phenomenon anyway). Now that there are so many works, femslash is clearly leading the fic world, even though a lot of the meta and articles I see people sharing primarily mention the Andrey/Goncharov homoeroticism.
This is really interesting, and I wonder what all is driving it. Do the actors who play Andrey & Goncharov not speak as much to slash fans as the actors who play Katya & Sofia? is it the particular scenes that the women characters are in that speak to the fans the most? Was there some particularly inspirational early F/F fic or fanart that spurred more? Are "imaginary canons" (such a goofy genre name!) more likely to generate more femslash than other canons? And/or are there other reasons? Would love to hear theories.

“people are only shipping katya with sofia because they’re the only two complex women in the film” okay but have you considered the cigarette scene and the flowers and also most importantly they told me they’re in love so. u sound dumb

Anyone who watched Goncharov and does not pick up on the clear sapphic story between Sophia and Katya is just really blind or does not want to see it. Day/Night dynamic, the way Sophia LOOKS at her when she thinks she can't see her, and most importantly "you could've been my sun"???!?!?!?!!? Come on for fuck's sake

There's something so fascinating with the Goncharov fandoms obsession regarding ships, Goncharov and Andrey are (almost) always portrayed as volatile, passionate but still somewhat loving. In a way this makes sense, it's a very direct translation from their implied relelationship in the film, which I guess isn't a problem, fandom always takes what they want to see and leaves what they don't, but there is a very prevalent disconnect from the context of the film. Because, their relationship is only so volatile because of their own actions, yes Goncharov is a victim of his situation but he is also actively making sure he never escapes, simple things like the decision to actually answer the phone solidified his station in life, he knows this too. As an audience we recognise his role as a tragic hero, doomed to fail over and over again, but that doesn't mean he had no choice in his own life. So to present Gonchandrey as having no nuance outside of what we are directly told on screen, erases the films message that although the characters are victims of circumstance that doesn't fully remove their free will and responsibility for their actions.
However on the other hand Katya and Sofia, are characters whose free will is explicitly removed from them as as the film progresses are viewed in shipping as women making their own decisions and running the show. I don't actually have a problem with this portrayal, it certainly makes them more fleshed out characters, but I have to wonder why they get put in charge of their own actions and Gonchandrey don't. Most of the popular posts I've seen are in reference to the infamous cigarette scene or the bathing scene, but even then, those scenes wouldn't have happened without the men in their lives dictating where and when they were.
While I think the Gonchandrey shipping are missing the big picture with their dynamics I think the Katfia shippers are onto something revolutionary, and it's a fascinating exploration about female rebellion and representation in a very dangerous historical environment.
Tldr:
