queer_festThis is the prompting post!
Prompts can be from any fandom. Please read the rules post 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.
- This year, we are trying out anon commenting for the first time, due to the LJ situation. Anon comments are screened, and will be unscreened as soon as they are approved. If you post anon prompts, please do check back to see if we have any questions about your prompts.
EDITED: You are welcome to add new prompts throughout the prompting period but please do so in a new comment. Do not reply to your old comment or edit your old prompt. We are trying a new way of compiling prompts this year, so we may miss your prompt if you go back and reply to yours or edit your prompt. Just leave a new comment, please.
Prompting is over! Claiming will open on Monday, March 18.

Date: 2013-03-02 11:08 pm (UTC)Teen Wolf, any werewolf character, How does a trans werewolf cope with a body that will always "heal" to a state that's all wrong?
Teen Wolf, Lydia Martin and Jackson Whittemore, It took them way too long to realize they were bearding for each other.
Teen Wolf, Allison Argent, Allison has always tried to convince herself that she's the kind person she thinks she should be -- someone who doesn't cry, who doesn't get speeding tickets, who didn't have to repeat a grade in school. But in the aftermath of Gerard pushing her over the edge, she starts to realize she may not know as much about herself as she always claimed. (Allison's specific queer identity is up to the author.)
Teen Wolf, Danny Mahealani, Sure, everyone at school is cool with his sexuality now. But being the first out kid in his grade back in middle school was no picnic.
Teen Wolf, Chris Argent, Chris always knew he was gay, but Gerard didn't make his marriage to the daughter of another prominent hunting family optional. How does he negotiate his relationship with a woman he grows to care about deeply, but to whom he isn't attracted? And what does he do when she's gone?
X-Treme X-Men, James Howlett, Howlett accepted the closet as a necessary evil that gave him the chance to protect and lead the Dominion of Canada. Then he met Hercules, and the decision wasn't so easy anymore.

no subject
Date: 2013-03-03 12:21 am (UTC)The Dresden Files, Harry Dresden & Thomas Raith, Harry's good at avoiding admitting things to himself, but the fact is that people mistaking him and Thomas for a couple is like a way to act out the daydream of something he wants without having to actually deal with it.
Foyle's War, Andrew & Christopher Foyle, Andrew doesn't believe anyone could understand the feelings he's been trying to suppress, but his father sees and understands more than Andrew gives him credit for.
Lewis, James Hathaway & Robbie Lewis, James tells himself Lewis is too old-fashioned to deal with him coming out, but the truth is he's the one who's really struggling to deal with it.

Rat Patrol, Dietrich & Troy, Dietrich did everything in his power to hide his sexuality from the men that he served beside, but he didn't count on his enemies being more perceptive.
no subject
Date: 2013-03-03 12:34 am (UTC)Homestuck, Roxy Lalonde, Roxy has trouble figuring out her sexuality; she thinks everyone has a neat label to use, but she just can't find one that fits her.
Homestuck, Rose Lalonde, three years on the meteor surrounded by trolls gave her a very different perspective on gender and sexuality.
Homestuck, Jade Harley, after the game Jade has to try and integrate into society after living alone her entire life. Most people seem to have a very different take on who she's allowed to be than she does. (Any queer Jade, gender or sexuality)
Homestuck, Dave Strider, coming out to everyone as trans is hard- some of it goes well, some of it really doesn't.
Community, Britta Perry, when people find out Britta's realised she's bisexual they treat it like the punchline to a joke because of her tendency to be so brash about social justice issues, or assume she's just adopting the label to be 'controversial'.

Date: 2013-03-03 01:53 am (UTC)The New Adventures of Tek Jansen: Tek, female!Tek. An accidental transportation to a different universe has Tek meeting a genderswapped alternate version of himself...who, as it turns out, has also had hundreds of girlfriends.
The New Adventures of Tek Jansen: Tek/various. Different species of aliens have wildly varying concepts of gender. How does Tek decide whether someone is eligible for his "hundreds of girlfriends" list? Is it whether their gender bears children? Is it how closely they resemble female humans? And how often does it overlap with the way they themselves identify?
The New Adventures of Tek Jansen: Tek, any female character. Sure, the beautiful woman whose life Tek just saved claims she's not interested in men, but Tek is still convinced he can win her over. If she's not swayed by his usual hypermasculine charms, well, he'll just have to try another angle.
The New Adventures of Tek Jansen: Tek/any male character(s). The best way to motivate Tek when sending him on a mission is to tell him there's a beautiful woman in need of rescue. Sometimes the rescuee turns out to be a man. Tek generally sleeps with them anyway, just to stay in practice.
The New Adventures of Tek Jansen: Tek(/various female characters). When Tek was co-opted into Alpha Squad, a round of injections bulked up his muscles and put hair on his chest, not to mention a very imposing bulge in his pants. What they didn't give him was a Y chromosome.
The New Adventures of Tek Jansen: Braina/Tek (requited or not). Ze doesn't actually have a gender, but ze hoped that putting a bow on hir head would be enough to convince Tek otherwise...
The New Adventures of Tek Jansen: Tek, ensemble. A bit of futuristic tech puts our hero in a female body. Everyone around him braces for the freakout...until they realize that Tek seems to have adjusted to the new curves without a second thought.
The New Adventures of Tek Jansen: Meangarr(/Nebula), Tek. Okay, so Meangarr was lying about the whole "asexual" thing. In her defense, she wasn't expecting the universe's most notorious lothario to miss the fact that she's female.
RPF - The Daily Show: Samantha Bee/Jason Jones/various (anyone you like, crossovers encouraged). Sam and Jason have brought home plenty of thirds, covering pretty much every possible combination of sex, gender, and expectation (usually dashed by the end of the night) about who will be interested in doing what with who.
RPF - The Daily Show: Kristen Schaal. When Kristen disguises as a guy for a segment, "he" gets treated as an attractive young man by about half the office...and, to her surprise, loving it. How does she reconcile her concept of [herself as] a good feminist with this newly-discovered desire to be related to as male once in a while?
RPF - The Daily Show: Samantha Bee/Kristen Schaal. As the New Girl on the staff, Kristen was prepared for the long-established Senior Woman Correspondent to greet her as either a potential mentee or a bitter rival. She wasn't prepared for flirting.
RPF - The Daily Show: Samantha Bee/Olivia Munn. With Sam's previous pregnancies, at least there was a cultural template to follow, even if she and Jason rewrote it more often than not. Now she's carrying Olivia's baby (as per the 7/14/2010 video exclusive on the TDS website), and they have to make it up as they go along.
RPF - The Daily Show: Olivia Munn. Every time someone says "Don't listen to the critics; you're a perfectly good female comedian," Olivia kind of wants to hit something. (Genderqueer or FTM.)
RPF - The Daily Show: Olivia Munn. Her quip from after her phone was hacked and personal photos leaked (http://twitpic.com/8ugq5d): "Some of those pictures weren't even me. I mean, you can't even see my penis...and it's pretty big for an Asian. Sheesh." To keep her career from exploding in a fireball of dudebro trans panic, only a few people can know there was a time when this wouldn't have been a joke.
The Colbert Report: "Stephen Colbert"(/Jon Stewart or other). In the alternate universe shown in the December 10, 2008 ThreatDown, Stephen is always happy. He's also asexual (and, true to form, sees no reason to be concerned about it, much less pretend to be otherwise). Put these things together, and people tend to come to the conclusion that he's a childlike naïf. Sometimes he surprises them.
The Colbert Report: "Stephen Colbert"/Bobby. Stephen routinely forces Bobby to dress up in strange but elaborate outfits on-camera. Bobby's starting to suspect there's a kink involved.
The Colbert Report: "Stephen Colbert"/Dan Savage. Dan is openly gay and in an open relationship; Stephen is so far in the closet he's halfway to Narnia. Stephen is painfully conflicted about That Thing We Did In The Green Room About Which We Will Not Talk; Dan is just, well, Dan.
The Colbert Report: "Stephen Colbert". Stephen's freshly back from an invigorating two-week vacation...at an ex-gay treatment center.
The Colbert Report: "Stephen Colbert". The whole "repressed homosexual urges" schtick is an elaborate ruse. If people assume he's gay, at least it'll be something fixable. But Stephen has never felt sexual towards anyone at all, and there don't seem to be any treatment centers for that.
The Colbert Report: "Stephen Colbert"/Jo(a)n Stewart, college or young-adult AU. Stephen is thrilled to be dating someone female-bodied; maybe now he can shake some of those pesky rumors. Jon is pre-op, pre-T, pre-everything, and presenting as female to most of the world - so he's equally thrilled to find someone who doesn't have any hesitation about treating him as male in bed.
The Colbert Report: "Stephen Colbert"/any male character. Stephen's convinced it's not gay if one of you is wearing a skirt.
The Colbert Report: "Stephanie Colbert"(/any female character, including other genderswapped male characters). Stephanie's convinced it's not masturbation(/sex) if there's no penetration.
The Colbert Report: "Stephanie Colbert", Jon Stewart. Stephanie's a closet lesbian who has spent years implying to everyone that she is in a One True Love That Can Never Be with her boss. Then she gets her own show, they're on equal footing, and Jon is asking her out to dinner. How far can Stephanie take this? How long before Jon realizes there's something up?
Hellsing: Seras/Pip. Now that Seras is sharing a body and a soul with the man she loves, it's starting to mess with her sense of gender. The fact that she's starting to get the hang of her shapeshifting powers only makes things all the more confusing.
Hellsing: Seras/Pip. Now that Pip is sharing a body and soul with the woman he loves, it's not messing with his sense of gender at all. But he totally wants to see if they can pull off lesbian mindsex some time.
Hellsing: Seras, Alucard. When Seras first meets Alucard's teenage-girl form, and what advice Alucard gives about vampire sex and gender.
Hellsing: Integra(/Alucard, Seras, or others). Integra's famed virginity isn't a triumph of the will; she's just plain not interested in sex. But she does kind of have a thing for ordering people (regardless of gender) around.
Hellsing: Heinkel Wolfe. Heinkel's body is intersex, and ze usually presents as male, more for the accompanying privileges than out of an internal sense of gender identity. Then a mission requires hir to pass as female, leading to a few surprising revelations about hirself.
Hellsing: Yumiko(&c.). Yumie and Yumiko aren't the only personalities sharing this body, and at least one of the others is male.

Date: 2013-03-03 02:58 am (UTC)Star Trek (reboot), any character, being trans is easier in the future but you still end up having to come out over and over. And over. And over...
Star Trek (reboot), Nyota Uhura/Spock, she worries that she'll be seen as not queer now she's in a long term relationship with a man, but Vulcans apparently find that illogical.
Homestuck, Jade Harley/Kanaya Maryam, Jade likes that Kanaya doesn't put any stock in labelling her.
Homestuck, Rose Lalonde/Jade Harley, Rose identifies as gay and Jade identifies as genderqueer. How they navigate that.
Homestuck, Jake English, Jake turns out to be aromantic after all the fuss.

Date: 2013-03-03 03:11 am (UTC)Matilda, Agatha Trunchbull, Years and years later, she realizes that being a closeted lesbian may have be hard, but it is *not an excuse.* She tries to make amends.
Matilda, Jenny Honey, Miss Honey always promised herself that when she was free from Aunt Trunchbull, she'd find herself a nice woman and settle down. Or at least start dating. Or at least go out to a bar once in awhile. But now she finds herself the mother of a six-year-old. Are her dreams still possible?

Little Women series, Nan Harding and Jo Bhaer , Knowing that Jo was a tomboy and scamp, Nan consults with her about the impossibility of living a traditionally female life (either because she's romantically interested in women or because he's a man, or both). Jo is not as understanding as Nan expected.
RPF, Ann M. Martin, Ann's resigned herself to secrecy and celibacy -- living publicly as a lesbian is much more spotlight than she wants her life. But as she gets older, she wonders if her silence is sending a message too -- one she can't agree with.
Anne of Green Gables, Anne Shirley, Anne asks Rev. Allen if he will marry her to Diana when they grow up.
no subject

Bomb Girls, Betty McRae/Teresa Bond Kate Andrews/Betty McRae (one-sided), Betty told Teresa she wasn't interested in seeing her again because her feelings for Kate were still too strong. But when Kate is getting serious with Ivan and Teresa returns, Betty realizes that maybe it's time she lets herself be happy with someone who can love her back.
Marvel 616, Steve Rogers, Steve finally opens his eyes to his queer identity and realizes that may be the reason he's never been able to settle down with a woman.

Warehouse 13, Claudia Donovan & Steve Jinks, Claudia's long suspected that being able to have an intelligent conversation with someone is more important to her than their actual equipment, and dragging Jinksy to the only gay bar in a hundred-mile radius of the Warehouse confirms that hunch. But she's still not sure if that's a little weird; fortunately, Steve is more than willing to hear her out. (Bi or pansexual Claudia, author's choice.)
Warehouse 13, H.G. Wells, She said it herself: "Many of my lovers were men." Show us one (or more!) of the women - how did that work in the constraints of Victorian society? Did she have a fling with one of her coworkers in Warehouse 12? What does she think about the change in sexual mores between then and the 21st century?
Warehouse 13, Jane Lattimer, Now that Pete knows she's a Regent, Jane figures she might as well bite the bullet and tell her son about her girlfriend.
Warehouse 13, Joshua Donovan, The Internet isn't the only thing that's changed a hell of a lot in twelve years; it turns out the support networks for queer physicists are a lot better than they were when Joshua teleported himself into limbo. Between that and the fact that he's not Claudia's only family anymore, he decides it's time to start exploring that support network.
Warehouse 13, Myka Bering and Pete Lattimer, AU based on "Merge With Caution": One or both of the pair has been presenting as their preferred gender since before the Warehouse, but after that bodyswap, the secret's out. (Number of operations involved in their presentation, if any, up to the author.)
NCIS, Amanda Reed aka Lt. Commander Voss (S1 episode "Dead Man Talking"), Amanda wasn't looking for the sex change operation to get away with the embezzlement; the embezzlement was to pay for the sex change. (She may be a pretty horrible person, but I want something where she's not horrible on 'lol Tony tongued a tranny' grounds. Anything that does that, whether it uses this specific prompt or not, will make me a happy camper.)

The Giver, any or original characters, Sameness vs. gender identity: GO. What does it mean to identify as trans when everyone is called 'a male' and 'a female' and the only sex-specific occupation is Birthmother? Is there a place in the community's rigid rules for people who don't identify with their assigned gender?
The Giver, any or original characters, The scientists who were working on Sameness never did figure out what to do about same-sex attraction, but assumed the hormone-suppressing pills given to everyone at the onset of puberty would do the trick just fine. After Jonas leaves, a handful of people in the community stop taking the pills - and are confronted with feelings that fall outside of what they've come to expect in more ways than one.
The Price of Salt, Therese Belivet/Carol Aird, Their take on the Stonewall riots and burgeoning gay rights movement.

Any magic-based fandom, any character, A particular type of magic is based on sex or sexual orientation. How does this affect a queer character? An MtF character who wants to learn women's magic, an FtM character who is forced to despite identity, an asexual character who doesn't want to participate in sex magic...
Avatar (2009), any characters, How do the Na'vi view gender/sexual identity?
bare: A Pop Opera, Nadia McConnell, She didn't *mean* to follow in Jason's footsteps. It was just that her parents already didn't know what to do with her and making out with girls pissed them off. But she's starting to think she's got more in common with her twin than she realised.

Harry Potter, any character, being intersex, trans, or genderqueer at Hogwarts.

Date: 2013-03-03 07:02 am (UTC)Cold Case, Sam Randall, AU in which Sam gets a chance to figure out some answers rather than being strong-armed into performing 'girl' as 'girl' was performed in 1962. (Sam's identity - butch lesbian, FtM, genderqueer - is up to the author.)

Date: 2013-03-03 07:34 am (UTC)Cold Case, Daniela, She thought getting out of her mother's house would be enough to let her claim her own identity and stop living in the shadow of her birth name. Unfortunately, Edwin is harder to lose than she'd expected.
no subject
Date: 2013-03-03 08:53 am (UTC)Merlin, Gwen/Arthur/Merlin, Triad: After Arthur's return, Merlin and Arthur try to live as a couple on their own and quickly discover they can't. They need Gwen. Not just for her common sense but because they love her. They don't rest until they find her in the present. I'd like both Arthur and Merlin written as bisexual (not straight, not gay), and the relationship between them and Gwen explored as a triad where each party is invested in the two others.
The Charioteer, Alec Deacon, Becoming: In the novel, Alec has a significantly less self loathing and more proud attitude towards his sexual orientation than either Ralph or Laurie, and apparantly no hang-ups regarding seeing himself as part of the gay community. Some backstory on Alex, figuring out his orientation, making other gay friends (not just in the sense of the occasional fling) would be great.
The Wire, Kima Greggs: after her relationship with Cheryl falls apart, Kima starts running into Brianna Barksdale. Cop/Sister-and-consigliere of Kingpin is a really bad idea, Kima knows that, but as long as it doesn't interfere with her work...
RPF, T.E. Lawrence: there is a great letter from Lawrence to E.M.Forster about how a short story of Forster's helped him coming to terms with his rape in Deraa and his sexuality, ending with "more when we meet". I'd like a story about this meeting.

Date: 2013-03-03 12:55 pm (UTC)DC Comics (Batman), Jason Todd, the reason Jason was acting out so much in the run up to his death is that he was just figuring out that he was gay. Now he's back, that still scares the crap out of him.
DC Comics, Bruce Wayne, He hates talking about his asexuality because he can see "childhood trauma" pass through their minds even if they don't say it out loud.
DC Comics, Apparently it is Teen Titan tradition to have sex with as many of your teammates as possible. At least, that's what the Wests and Harper tell him, and Damian may think they are incompetent, but he doesn't think they're liars. He does, however, think that they could grasp the simple fact that he doesn't want to have sex with any of his teammates a little sooner.
DC Comics, Batfamily, any character Coming out to Alfred
DC Comics, Batman, Bruce Wayne is outed as Bi-Sexual, how does that affect how people view Batman
DC Comics, Batman, Greg Rucka mentioned a story that he'd like to do but knows DC would never let him: A group of Gotham socialites are discussing their relationships with Bruce Wayne, and one of them eventually confesses that she's never had sex with him. They compare notes, realise that none of them have actually had sex with Bruce Wayne, and come to the inevitable conclusion... (author's choice about that conclusion and how accurate it is)
DC Comics, Batman/Superman, after being outed by a sex tape, the biggest issue people have if that they weren't practising safe sex.
DC Comics, Bruce Wayne, the way people glance worrying at his boys when they find out about it, annoys Bruce. Just because he's gay does not make him a Paedophile
DC Comics, Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne, A little known fact of Kryptonian culture, that Clark prefers not to share with others, is that sexuality was a personal choice made on a person's fifteenth birthday, declared before one's family and friends, and if a person was not ready to choose, they could defer the choice and declaration until a later date. It takes Clark many years, after having struggled with his sexuality in light of his Midwestern upbringing for as long as he can remember, but on his twenty-eighth birthday, he's finally ready to declare his choice, before the entirety of the Justice League ... but only after he's declared his choice to Bruce, privately.
DC Comics, Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne, What happens when Earth’s two greatest superheroes are outed?
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, Everyone that knows his history assumes that because he used to work the streets as a young teen, that that's the reason he prefers men, and he just can't let that assumption slide any longer; he's always preferred guys, and hooking had nothing to do with it.
DC Comics, Jason Todd, a young Jason Todd discusses his confusing feelings with Barbara.
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, Tim Drake - Tim knows that it's okay and natural for him to like other boys but that doesn't make it any easier for him to tell. He tries and the words stick in his mouth, seized by a panic that he feels is irrational. He knows that his friends and family love him and probably won't disapprove of his sexuality but what if they treat him differently?
DC Comics, Tim Drake and his femme-ness, getting support from an unexpected place - Jason
DC Comics, Tim Drake and Kon-El, Coming out as bisexual to his straight best friend was pretty easy, but Tim's not sure how much more he can take of Kon's match-making efforts.
DC comics, Tim Drake/Jason Todd, Introducing Jason as Tim's boyfriend to the press, without someone finding out that Jason's being dead (and Tim's brother)
DC Comics, Tim Drake/Kon, It's weird that he's more worried about coming out to Superman than Batman

Due South, Margaret Thatcher, Meg’s worked hard to get where she is in the RCMP, and whatever the official policy on homosexuality may be now she isn’t sure she wants to risk the potential fallout of coming out.
Due South, Ray Kowalski, It’s not like he didn’t love Stella – he did, more than anything. But the truth is that he’s always been more attracted to men than to women, and now that the pain of the divorce has finally started to fade he thinks that he’s ready to begin exploring that part of his sexuality.
Due South, Robert Fraser, Bob knows that Benton is trying to hide his relationship with Ray because he thinks Bob will disapprove – but Benton never found the one journal that Bob had kept hidden from his son, the private one that spoke of his feelings for his own male partner.
Due South, Robert Fraser(/Buck Frobisher or gen), the challenges of being queer in the RCMP during the era of institutionalized homophobia and the ‘fruit machine’. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_machine_%28homosexuality_test%29)

Marvel Comics, Bucky Barnes, having missed the gay rights movement altogether, Bucky adjusts to being LGBT in a post-Stonewall America.
Marvel Comics, Bucky Barnes, Of the many problems that haunt Bucky from his days as the Winter Soldier, one lingering one is his handlers attempt to modify his attraction toward men. This leads to him and Steve (and possibly other heroes, though not the focus) taking a very vocal stance against any sort of conversion therapy aimed at "curing" queerness (assumption is current Bucky/Natasha, Past Bucky/Steve, possibly current Bucky/Steve/Natasha if that works for the fic).

X-Men First Class, Charles/Erik, Charles realizes that one reason that Hank is so uncomfortable with himself is because he is gay and doesn't realize that it is ok and "normal".
