From metafandom - to leave you the absolutely useless comment that I too am female and love swordfights and things blowing up. Hello the sisterhood!
...But I don't find that it tends to work for me in fic - yes in mainstream fiction, no in fan fiction. I don't know if that's because character stuff is what I'm reading fanfic for, or because the writers don't love adventure for its own sake and that comes through.
