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 character, she is sick of people thinking her sexuality/gender identity is in any way related to her mental illness. (Pronouns for clarity; change as fits the character.)

Any Fandom, any character. An asexual character trying to explain that not wanting to have sex doesn't mean xie isn't sex positive.

Any fandom, any characters, A character who identified as completely straight comes to realize that they’re in a non-sexual relationship with their queer, same-sex best friend.

Any Fandom : any character, being married to [the character's] (opposite-sex) high school sweetheart made [the character's] bisexuality/pansexuality/fluid sexuality more theoretical than anything else... until [the character's] spouse brings up the idea of polyamory and opening up their relationship.

Any fandom, any character, 'asexual' does not mean 'straight.

Any Fandom, Any Character, After a magical accident/mysterious artefact/fandom appropriate incident turns everyone a different colour depending on their sexuality, people want to know why character X hasn't changed at all. (Character X is asexual)

Any fandom, any character, After identifying as asexual for so long, being in a romantic relationship begins awakening entirely new desires. What is this new and mysterious thing called demisexuality?

Any fandom, any character, an asexual wishes they could go to the local bar and pick someone up just for cuddling.

Any fandom, any character, Five lies s/he wouldn't have told if s/he'd been straight.

Any fandom, any character, that conversation you wouldn't have to go through if you weren't bi.

Any fandom, any character, they thought once they came out to their friends and family, that was it - but they're discovering the reality is that outing yourself, or choosing not to, is a decision you make on a daily basis.

Any Fandom, Any Character, Yes, they're both queer. Yes, they're good friends. No, they're not going out, nor have they ever in the past, nor will they ever do so in the future.

Any fandom, any character; what are the odds of having multiple queer siblings in one family? What are the odds that people will accept this as the truth and not a case of follow-the-leader?

Any Fandom, any character(s), Step one - save the world. Step two - tell your parents you're not as straight than they thought. So, starting off with the easy one, then.

Any fandom, any character/pairing/moresome: "The whispers that it won't last/roll up and down the pews." (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?

Any Fandom: any characters, Finding support in an unlikely place.

Any superhero fandom, any character/any character, a pair of superheroes narrowly divert another world-ending crisis. But for some reason, it was the same-sex kiss (or other show of affection) that made the evening news

Any superhero fandom, any super___ character, using the costume to present as the right gender when the secret identity can't


DC Comics, Tim Drake, trying to convince his partner that being asexual doesn't mean he's aromantic, made harder by the fact that he isn't that demonstrative in the first place.

DC Comics : any superhero character, the superhero community is a gossipy place, full of rampant speculation about other heroes' sexualities. But no one came close to guessing the truth of [character]'s asexuality.

DC Comics pre reboot, Tim Drake, for a boy who has spent his whole life holding up a mirror and trying to be what he thinks others want him to be, making the decision to come out for himself is a process.

DC Comics, All Robins, discovering which part of the queer spectrum they fall under

DC Comics, Batfamily, any character Coming out to Alfred

DC Comics, Cassandra Cain, She doesn't know the word for what Stephanie is to her

DC Comics, Damian Wayne - Damian scornfully informs his father that he is attempting to scare him with the wrong Talk, using entirely the wrong charts.

DC Comics, Dick Grayson, The scariest thing he ever did was coming out to Batman. (Optional: Now he tells the story to someone else considering coming out to their mentor.)

DC Comics, Jason Todd/any, If another straight person in this ridiculous mansion gives him the "all you have to do is accept yourself" speech, Jason is going to punch them right square in their well-meaning, heterosexual face.

DC Comics, Red Hood and the Outlaws and Nightwing, it’s a little uncomfortable being on a team with your brother’s exes

DC Comics, Roy Harper/Dick Grayson, It somehow becomes public that Arsenal and Nightwing are raising a little girl together. Of all the things to get upset about people are not commenting on the fact that violent vigilantes with highly risky jobs are the sole caretaker of an innocent child or even that to have a school aged daughter in his early 20s then Arsenal must have been a teenaged father, no, what makes people clutching their pearls is the fact they are both men.

DC Comics, Stephanie Brown/Tim Drake/Kon-El, It's true that the superhero community is pretty accepting about poly relationships. Now if they'd just stop assuming that Kon's only in it for Stephanie and that Tim's only in it for Kon, that'd be great.

DC Comics, Tim Drake, he's always been amused by the local tabloid's attempts to link him to women around Gotham, but when they get a shot of him and his boyfriend stealing a kiss outside a restaurant, suddenly it isn't funny anymore.
