Follow-up to the prompt post.

[fiercelydreamed]

So it seems that leaving things open-ended was less helpful than I'd thought it'd be. I've gone back and added some sample prompt formats to the end of the post, but I'll reproduce them here to get you thinking. :)

• Universe, character(s), content: The West Wing, ensemble, karaoke at a lesbian dive bar; or Saving Face, Wil & Hwei-Lan Gao, Mother's Day. 
• Diving board (linking people to an existing work to use as inspiration): I'd love to see a story about this picture, art for this song, or a vid about this poem. 
• Finish the sentence (where you write the first half of an opening line or premise): The best thing about the hell that was eleventh grade was ... or Three years after the trip with Julio y Ana, Tenoch goes to ...
• Freeform (just ask for what you want!): I always secretly wanted to put together a house of all-queer roommates -- someone want to write that for me? Or Sofia Lopez was the best thing about Season 1 of Nip/Tuck; can someone please tell me more of her story? Or What if someone filibustered the Senate by reading queer lit?

Comments blocked on this post; prompts should be left back at the prompt post instead.

Also, we had a request for a thread to brainstorm a list of canonical sexual and gender minority characters -- you're not limited by canon on this comm, but please take a few seconds to add some characters who are queer or gender-queer in canon, so we can make sure they get some time in the spotlight too.

Thanks for bearing with us on the false starts, guys.
