[queer_fest_mods]

Claiming is now open for the third annual round of queer_fest! Sorry it's going up so late. Coding is evil.

Prompts can be found alphabetically on these three posts. No more sorting through 8 posts thanks to Dreamwidth!

Prompt Post 1: hack/SIGN - Gunnerkrigg Court
Prompt Post 2: Hamlet - Mythology
Prompt Post 3: National Treasure - Xena Warrior Princess



Things to note

1. All the Marvel Avengers movies are listed under "Marvel." The X-Men movies, including First Class, are listed Under X-Men Movies. X-Men comics characters are listed under "Marvel."

2. Crossovers are listed under "c," not at the end, as in some fests.

3. All the Mythology prompts are listed under "Mythology - (specific region/religion)"

4. Please read the rules post before claiming. Some of the prompts are a little vague, so please be sure that you only claim prompts that you can fill in the spirit of the community.

5. Everyone may claim up to 3 prompts. When you claim a prompt, you must claim a posting day from the calendar. 10 people may sign up for each date. Please double check the calendar and the visible comments to make sure the date you want is not already full. If you multiple prompts, you will need to pick multiple days, one for each prompt.

6. Posting dates run from May 1 to June 16. More information on posting will be posted closer to the posting period, but in general, we will be running it very similar to the way it was run last year.

7. Comments will be screened once we add you to the calendar and the prompt posts.

8. Please keep this post for claims only. Any questions/concerns should go on the rules/mod post.

Prompt: White Collar, Neal Caffrey, Neal's definitely not straight, and after someone (Lauren?) makes a comment about 'Mr Heterosexual', he feels compelled to tell everyone. But coming out is difficult when no one seems to care

Prompt: Any (supernatural-themed) fandom, a character returns from the dead with different ideas about their orientation or gender identity. Did they 'come back wrong' or are they just finally discovering who they really are?

Username: elliemurasaki

Prompt: Any fandom, any character, queer people are queer all the time, not just when they're having sex.

My apologies, I'm a bit new to all of this still. Would it be okay if I put in a claim for the first and third of these prompts to be due on April 26 and the third to be due at the end of the fest? If I happened to be done before those dates and wanted to claim more prompts, write them, and then post them on their respective due dates would that be okay? Thank you for being so patient in answering my questions....

It's fine!

We'll put you down for April 26th for the first and third and June 16th for the second.

During the fest, every Wednesday is Amnesty Wednesday. We'll put a post up explaining this in greater detail after prompting, but what it basically means is that if you finish early or late, you can post your fic on any Wednesday during the fest.

Correction

[queer_fest_mods]

Oops! Sorry, nobody will posting on April 26! The posting dates are May 1-June 16. Please pick dates between those times. You can still have June 16th, but you'll need to pick a date besides April 26th.
