queer_festThis is the prompting post!
Prompts can be from any fandom. Please read the rules first.
When leaving prompts, please leave them in the following form: Fandom, characters, prompt.
Crossovers should be left in the following form: Crossover, fandom a/fandom b, characters, prompt. (please put fandoms in alphabetical order)
RPF prompts should be left in the following form: RPF, fandom(s), characters, prompt.
You can leave as many prompts per comment as you like and as many prompts in one comment as you like! You do not have to plan to claim prompts in order to post prompts and posting prompts does not mean you have to participate in the claiming round. If you wish to recycle prompts from previous rounds of queer_fest or lgbtfest, you are welcome to do so.
Any questions/concerns about prompts should go to the rules post or via pm to the mod account. The rules post has been set to screen all comments to preserve privacy. If it's just a general question and not a problem with a prompt, it will be unscreened. Please contact us if you have a problem.
Things to keep in mind:
- Comics fandoms: When prompts are compiled for claiming, all Marvel comics will be grouped together by universe - i.e., Marvel 616 or Marvel Ultimates, including the X-Men. The same is true for the DC Comics universe. Movies will be grouped together as well. The Avengers movies will be grouped together, but the X-Men and Spider-Man movies will be listed separately because they are not the same 'verse. Likewise, the Nolan Batman movies and Superman movies will be listed separately from the comics and from each other. So if you want to keep that in mind when you are prompting, that's great! If you don't, that's fine, too, and we'll take care of it during the compiling period.
- Agents of SHIELD will be listed under Agents of SHIELD, not the MCU.
Happy Prompting! Don't forget to read the rules! Prompting ends on March 29.
Prompting for 2014 Queer Fest is now closed.

Bomb Girls, Betty McRae, Betty never expected to get a happy ending, but somehow things do end up working out.
Cabin Pressure, Martin Crieff, Introducing his boyfriend to his friends and family really shouldn't be this hard. Except, well, he's not exactly out, not as such… not in the sense that he's ever told anyone that he- not that he's ever pretended otherwise! - but people do have certain expectations and and and- this is going to be a disaster, isn't it? (It isn't.)
Community, Troy/Abed, Britta is vocally and delightedly supportive, Annie’s jumpy and awkward, Jeff thinks it’s No Big Deal (And Can We Talk About Something Else, Please!), Pierce is in gay-joke-heaven and Shirley isn’t speaking to them. So, coming out went well, then.
Elementary, Joan Watson, Joan doesn’t notice she’s falling for Mary Morstan until Sherlock helpfully points it out. Much like the rest of her current life, it’s not at all what she envisioned for herself, but it feels… right.
Elementary, Tommy Gregson, while he was married everyone assumed he was straight and he was happy to leave it at that. Thing is, now he’s divorced and dating a man and really not sure how to do the coming out thing. Then again, with Sherlock Holmes around he might not get a chance to do it on his own terms anyway.
Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tony Stark, Tony stopped trying to live up to his father’s expectations years ago. He’s rich, he’s a genius and he’ll do whatever he wants whenever he wants. Except men. But that doesn't count. Because he doesn't want to. And because it's a Bad Idea. And because… yeah, okay, maybe he does have just a few residual issues there.
The West Wing, Josh Lyman/OMC, Josh isn't homophobic, but he's definitely straight. Definitely, absolutely, no question about it. So there's no way he could be falling for a man. And if his friends think they notice a change in him, they're definitely, definitely wrong. …Right?

Date: 2014-03-21 01:37 am (UTC)Revolution, Sebastian Monroe/Miles Matheson, Back in the republic, when things had been good, they’d been together and no one had made a fuss. Maybe that was because they’d been in power and could have killed anyone who spoke out against them with a word. But now, living on the edge as outlaws, it’s harder for them to be together without drawing looks and having to discuss it with people all the time. Bass realizes things haven’t changed all that much after all in the 20 odd years since the power’s been out.
Power Rangers Samurai, Lauren, Never having had time to experiment with sexuality before her return home, Lauren watches the members of her brother’s team and tries to decide what her sexuality is. But the many definitions they use and the controversy that seems to surround them all surprise and baffle her. What is a spectrum? Can’t she just look at butts and enjoy them? Why didn’t anyone talk to her about this growing up?
Power Rangers Samurai, Antonio/Jayden, Jayden has difficulty even saying the word “Gay”. Antonio tries not to out him to his friends or family, despite the fact that they are together and he wants to be as OUT as possible. He has some internal struggle with going back in the closet for the sake of true love, even if only until their mission is done.
Power Rangers Samurai, Emily, Growing up in a small rural community, how and when did Emily realize she was attracted to more than just boys?
Power Rangers Samurai, Kevin/Mike, Kevin pines after Mike, thinking that he’s straight, but never actually asks him, only to one day in the future meet Mike’s boyfriend, and realize he’s been looking at sexuality is a binary, when for Mike, it isn’t.
Power Rangers Samurai, Mia, She wants to get married and have a healthy relationship and have five or six of her own biological children... but she's never been sure how she's going to do any of that while being asexual. The idea of being pregnant fascinates her and she wants it so much... but the idea of how to get pregnant is harder to come to terms with.
Power Rangers Ninja Storm, Cam/Hunter, It’s not that they’re gay that prevents them from disclosing their relationship. It’s that they’re the head teachers of the academies, and it might look… indecent for the two people responsible for most of the decisions between the two academies to be involved with each other. At least, that’s what Cam tells himself.
Power Rangers Ninja Storm, Leanne, Leanne as genderqueer, growing up inside the strict academy setting and being unable to truly be herself until after she graduated and moved to Nepal.
Power Rangers Jungle Fury, Fran/Dom/RJ, Fran is Dom’s girlfriend. RJ is Dom’s boyfriend. RJ and Fran are best friends. The three of them navigate being in a committed, queer, polyamorous relationship while also running a business together.
Teen Wolf, Cora, When she goes back to Beacon Hills, she goes back to performing her gender as female, because that’s what her surviving family will expect. It couldn’t be farther from the truth, though.
Teen Wolf, Isaac Lahey/Danny Mahealani, Danny identifies as gay. Isaac identifies as queer. Danny tries to get Isaac to give more of a label to his sexuality, and Isaac has to explain why it isn’t that simple for him.
Firefly, Jayne/Simon, Jayne can’t understand how he can be into men. He likes Simon, likes kissing him, and fucking is pretty much the same as it is with a woman, but he’s having trouble reconciling the fact that really, it’s not. It’s much, much better.
Firefly, Zoe, She’s identified as a lesbian her whole life, and still finds women plenty attractive. When she meets Wash, though, she realizes she might actually be bisexual, and spurns his advanced for a long time because she’s afraid of identifying that way, regardless of what she feels.
Star Trek Voyager, any hologram, The holographic character wonders why someone would program them looking female, but feeling as though they should be male, and asks an engineer to change their programming, or delete them.
Downton Abbey, Sybil/Gwen, There were enough barriers between the two of them, like class, and family, and politics, without adding the fact that they were both women.
The Hunger Games, any tribute from any games, Despite the fact that they’ve never identified as a boy, that’s the class of tribute they were selected for. How does the capital react to a trans tribute, and, if they win, will they be allowed to fully transition?

Any fandom, any character, In an age when no one talks about sex and ideas of men and women are possibly the most rigid they've been (think: Victorian), a transgender character does their best to live as who they really are, with the help of their tailor/seamstress who keeps their secret - either out of the goodness of their heart, or out of love for the purse strings.

Power Rangers, any, When you're trying to stop the destruction of your town it's hard to be a good role model for other LGBT people out there. In fact it's hard to be out as a LGBT person anyway since you're just a body in a brilliantly coloured suit.
Power Rangers RPM, Dillon, he knows who he feels attracted to, but he doesn't remember if he was 'out' before Venjix decided to take away his memories. And what if he comes out, finds his sister and he finds he wasn't out before?
Power Rangers RPM, Gem & Gemma & Flynn, Flynn's bisexual and trying to date one of a pair of twins that really have no grasp on sexuality. He feels like their sex-ed teacher.

Date: 2014-03-23 03:25 am (UTC)Harry Potter, Charlie Weasley, when all of your (six!) siblings get married and have kids, is it really necessary for everyone to bother you about when you'll settle down too? (aromantic asexual Charlie)

Pokémon, Leaf, Red and Leaf are the same person (trans Leaf, specific identity up to writer)

The Legend of Zelda, Zelda (and Sheik), Zelda is completely comfortable being both the princess and a male warrior (nonbinary Zelda)
Quick correction to one of my prompts
Date: 2014-03-23 04:38 am (UTC)Harry Potter, Charlie Weasley, all of his living siblings are married and have kids, so is it really necessary for everyone to bother him about when he's going to settle down too? (aromantic asexual Charlie)
(There might be some discrepancy in how I originally worded it since I'm on a different device right now, but I realized a mistake with a small joke I included about Charlie's number of siblings. If the writer wants it to be an AU with all of them married with kids, that's fine by me, but I don't want to accidentally make that a requirement.)

(from Cath, by Death Cab for Cutie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yFtWJhsT3k) What does a couple do when people are publicly doubting they'll stay together--because they're of the same sex, because one of them is bi/trans/ace/something, because it's an open or poly relationship, or for some other reason?
