queerlygen full text search which is brilliant. Search queerlygen here.fiercelydreamedPeople seemed to like the idea of a monthly flashwork challenge post, so that's what we're going to start with. Based on suggestions we got, here's our basic plan of how to run the challenge (which we'll be testing out this month):
- Put up a post for prompt suggestions
- A few days later, hold a vote for the theme by poll*
- Announce the challenge theme, kicking off a three-week period for posting challenge responses
- Rinse, repeat**
So, the comment field is ready and waiting: let the prompt suggestions commence!
* Thanks again, kind people who bought us paid time!
** Adjusting formula as needed.

Loose End
fiercelydreamedFirst off, my apologies for the relative radio silence of late. I had some RL distractions and didn't get organized enough to get anything in motion here or enlist one of my co-mods to do it.
Now it's a new year, I'm guessing that people who participated in holiday challenges have recuperated, and a couple of kind souls have gifted the community with paid time! (Which reminds me: I'm a total DW novice -- what are the neat things we can/should do with said paid time?) All in all, I think it's an excellent time to get more active at this community.
So, what would you like to see here? One idea I had was borrowing the flashwork challenge model, where community members suggest themes which then go up for a limited time. So, for example, someone might suggest the theme "reinventing the wheel," and everyone would then have three weeks to post queerly gen works around that theme. Anyone in favor? Are there other approaches you'd like us to try? Would you like to see any kind of recurring moderated discussions? Remember, there's no reason we can't mix and match a bunch of ideas-- whatever appeals to y'all as community members is likely to work out well.
While we're discussing this, I'd also like to encourage everyone to repost any queerly gen works you may have created recently, or rec anything you may have encountered. Yuletide alone had 2,779 works (wow!), so I know there's got to be some great stuff that a lot of us haven't found yet.

The Unanswered Question (The Eternal Dungeon) [original fiction by Dusk Peterson]
Dec. 25th, 2009 10:22 pmduskpetersonTitle: The Unanswered Question.
Author: Dusk Peterson.
Where to find me: Website, Dreamwidth blog, InsaneJournal mirror blog, LiveJournal mirror blog, duskpetersonbooks (e-mail list with announcements of my fiction).
Type of work: Fiction.
Contains: References to past sex and brief present attraction, but no onscreen sexual activity. There is brief but intense violence. This is prisonfic, with all that follows, but the primary focus is on a nonviolent platonic mentoring relationship. Series warnings.
Note: This is my 2009 holiday gift story to my readers. You can see the prompts from my readers that inspired the novella and my response to their prompts (both with major spoilers, so they're best read after you've finished the story).
Summary: No weapons, no allies, and no guarantees that he will survive the test.

thene...I always feel a bit odd posting stuff for my weird J-vidya fandom here. Would it help if I said that my canon has this 7-foot-tall electric megalomaniac? Who has an electro-kinky romance with another guy? And he's being stalked by this dead necromancer who can cause bad weather, but that's okay because he knows a folk charm that can ward off lightning if he says it every time it rains? *facepalm*

Type of work: Art (hand-drawn inks & computer color)
Contains: Dumbledore, rainbow, skipping.
Summary and/or notes: I always liked Dumbledore best when he was happy and acting a little silly. He had to spend a huge chunk of the story being sad, poor man. So, when Rowling outed him, this was my response.

Love Is Where You Find It & Another Kind of Love [Paula Christian fanart by Hyel]
Oct. 2nd, 2009 02:14 pmhyelTitle: Love Is Where You Find It & Another Kind of Love character portraits
Creator:hyel
Universe: Love Is Where You Find It & Another Kind of Love, two novels from the 1960s by Paula Christian
Type of work: Art (hand-drawn inks)
Contains: Simple b/w character portraits, 60s fashion.
Summary and/or notes: I often get the urge to draw the characters after I finish a novel, so these are just portraits of my mental images of the characters - Rita, Dee, Karen and Martie from Love Is Where You Find It and Ginny, Laura and Madeline from Another Kind of Love. I'm not saying anything about the quality of those novels, except that despite the 60s shame factor I found them interesting enough to keep reading more.

kanataTitle: Sleeping Underneath Your Skin
Creator:kanata/kyuuketsukirui
Universe: Harry Potter
Type of work: Fanfic
Contains: Canon relationships. Brief descriptions of masturbation.
Summary: There are a lot of things Ginny tries not to think about. If she told someone that, they'd probably think she meant the war, maybe especially sixth year. Or Fred's death. Or the whole thing with Tom Riddle's diary. Well, there are things she doesn't like to think about with the diary, but it's not what people expect.
Notes: This was written for last year'slgbtfest.
( She doesn't think about the few years before Ron hit his growth spurt, when the two of them were nearly as identical as the twins. She'd cut her hair, put on Ron's jumper, and she'd be free. )

hyelTitle: Susie and the Pirate Crew
Creator:hyel
Universe: I Was Kidnapped by Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space by Megan Rose Gedris
Type of work: Art (hand-drawn inks + computer colour)
Contains: Character portraits of all five pirates and Susie.
Summary and/or notes: Nothing unusual here, just the characters with their usual accessories. I love Gedris' art style, I really recommend reading her comics (love what she's doing with the art in Yu+me), but couldn't resist drawing them in my own style. It ended up being a kind of a mix between her style and mine.

quinaraI couldn't decide whether to post this or not, considering it will probably become out of date with the new season starting tomorrow(!!) and it isn't really substantial enough to stand on its own as a story, but what the hey? It has queer people in!! (Um, I should say that this was a cheeky self-prompt - asexual Claire Saunders hangs out/has a chat with Echo's dominatrix imprint.)

Contains: Very oblique Claire/Boyd in one paragraph.
Word Count: Approx. 1600
