Queer Fest 2014 Prompt Post (NOW CLOSED)

[queer_fest_mods]

This 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.

Any fandom, any characters, Post-apocalyptic. You thought being queer sucked when there were six billion humans, a reasonably steady supply of food and water, and *zero* hordes of ravening undead.
Any fandom, Any character 40+, Questioning your sexuality after over two decades of not questioning is hard—especially when no one believes you. But sometimes all it takes is one person to care enough to listen.
Any fandom, any characters, Just because they're both queer, doesn't mean they agree about politics. At all.
Any fandom, any non-op FtM character, He's been living successfully as a man for decades - so what happens when he finds himself in need of an abortion?
Any fandom, any characters, why is it so hard for character to accept that they are kinky, when it was so easy to accept that they are LGBT(QIA)?
Any fandom, any character, In later life, does coming out even *matter* anymore? Perhaps he/she should just let people assume what they've always assumed.

Any fandom, any character, no, actually, you do NOT have an obligation to come out!

Any children's television show, any children's presenter, being queer and deciding to come out (or not).

Any comedy fandom, any comedian, just because you're gay doesn't mean it should be the only thing you're allowed to make jokes about.
Any comedy RPS fandom, any characters, all the fans thinks your comedy partner is the 'gay one', and the more they joke about it, the more they fap about it on the internet, the more you want to yell at them who you really are.

Any RPF fandom, any character, it was very different to be famous and queer when you were young...

The Adventures of Lano & Woodley (TV series), Colin Lane/Frank Woodley, Col wouldn't have guessed Frank would be the one who recognised how gay their relationship had become before he did.

Double The Fist, The Womp/Steve Foxx, Womp can't imagine being with anyone else but Steve, and can't work out why people seem to have such a problem with it.
Double The Fist, Steve Foxx, he's spent his whole life struggling to accept that his homosexuality isn't a sign of weakness.
Double The Fist, Rod Foxx, he would totally come out as bisexual if he knew Steve wouldn't disown him for doing so.
Double The Fist, Tara, she's a vending machine, a token woman, so how does she tell Rodd she's really only interested in girls? (pre-The Final Battle.)
Double The Fist, Mephisto, being a gay vampire isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Electric Dreams, Edgar, not having a human body makes understanding human sexuality - and his own identity and sexuality - quite complicated.

Inspector Montalbano (TV series), Salvo Montalbano/Mimí Augello, they fight like a married couple for a damn good reason. They're just not going to tell anyone what that reason is because it isn't worth their jobs to come out.
Inspector Montalbano (TV series), Giuseppe Fazio, in all the years he's worked for Salvo, he's never once thought about coming out to him until a case hits too close to home, forcing his hand. Salvo turns out to be more compassionate and understanding than Fazio had anticipated.

Jonathan Creek, Jonathan Creek, the one thing people find really strange about him is that he's asexual.

Mythology - Egyptian, Sobek/Heru-sa-Aset (Horus, son of Isis), Heru always intended to take Sobek as his consort when he became King. He didn't expect there'd be so much fuss about it.
Mythology - Egyptian, Djehuty (Thoth), Djehuty feels no need to explain how he can be both androgynous and male at the same time and wishes people would just stop asking.
Mythology - Egyptian, Amun, no one knows zyr true form, which is both liberating and uncomfortable, because it means using masks to represent zemself, and they are not always understood, even by the other gods.
Mythology - Egyptian, Nit (Neith), sie is two-thirds woman, one-third man, and no one really understands that at all.
Mythology - Egyptian, FtM!Wesir (Osiris), what it means to undergo death as a trans* god.
Mythology - Egyptian, Hapi, being a trans* god who is both male, and female, and neither, at the same time.
Mythology - Egyptian, Sobek, He is as queerly gendered as his mother, Nit, in his own strange way.
Mythology - Egyptian, Set (Seth), being a god of the outsiders, of the marginal places and people, and the mistrust and fear that come with it.

Mythology - Greek, Hestia, the only reason she swore never to have sex was to get everyone off her back about why she didn't want to.
Mythology - Greek, Artemis, sie is only as gendered as sie wants to be, crossing boundaries and liminal spaces.

Ladies of Letters (TV series), Vera/Irene, it's not that Vera's oblivious to her own queerness, it's just that she'd never felt the need to label it. Indeed, Vera never even thought of herself as queer until she fell in love with Irene.
Ladies of Letters (TV series), Vera/Irene, prison brought them together in ways they hadn't anticipated.
Ladies of Letters (TV series), Vera/Irene, Irene wants to be out and proud, but Vera just wants peace and privacy. Neither are sure how to compromise on this at all.

Play School (Australian), MtF!Rhys Muldoon, the story about Gloria Grand felt like the best chance she'd ever get to come out.

Robin Hood (any version), trans!Robin/Maid Marion, Part of what Marion likes about Robin is how well he understands her. Robin hasn't gotten around to telling her why he can relate to her so well, that when he said he came from a noble family once, he had actually been a girl.

Song - Traveling Wilburys, "Tweeter And The Monkey Man", MtF!Tweeter, the story of how Tweeter became a Jersey girl.

The Garden of Rama (Arthur C. Clarke), any human character/couple, being queer while on board a giant alien spaceship, trying to survive in New Eden where most of the rules governing human societies on Earth are guidelines at best.

The Hollowmen (TV series), Phillip/Warren, being queer, and a couple, does not affect the way in which they perform their official parliamentary duties.

The Marmalade Files (book), Kimberley (Ben Gordon), perhaps it's her own fault for the fact everyone assumes she's just a transvestite, and not a transwoman, given her decision not to transition. Still, she could do without all the misgendering.

Vikings (TV series), any character, the experience of being queer in Norse society.

Any fandom, any characters, why is it so hard for character to accept that they are kinky, when it was so easy to accept that they are LGBT(QIA)?

Ultimately, we feel like this is dismissive of the struggles of queer individuals and is more focused on the character's identity as kinky than their identity as queer. We will not be allowing it in the fest this year.
