Hmmm... while it is most likely true that lesbian/bi women might do a better job of writing femslash, it's perfectly possible that a straight woman could see two female characters as 'meant for each other,' and want to write this.

Or perhaps they feel that part of a certain female character's pysche is due to them pining for another female, and want to make this part of their story.

(N.B: I have not yet read Wicked, and the above are generalizations that probably don't support your example.)

However, if you're talking about bad or PWP fanfiction, I think you're right in saying that "omg they're so hawt!" isn't the correct reason.
But if f/f romance is an interesting plot point rather than just vapid porn, I don't think women have to be straight to write it.
