queerlygen People have contributed lots of great prompts for the kickoff festival that starts in a week. If you haven't checked them out recently, I recommend you go peruse them and find some inspiration. To those of you who are already working on a work in response: full steam ahead!
In the meantime, let's whet each other's appetites and share recs for gen works about sexual and gender minority characters. Fanworks and original works are both welcome. To help people navigate the comments, please put the universe(s) of the works you're recommending in the title of your comments (example: "Recs for Veronica Mars, historical RPF, and original works"). In the rec, please give us some basic information about the work: title, author, rating/content information, and maybe a short excerpt or a quick explanation of why you're recommending it. Something like:
My Name Is John Sheppard: I'm a Mathematician, bythingswithwings.* SGA, mild swearing. Reason for the rec: Guys, it's SGA + Mathnet! And queer!Rodney without that being in any way The Point of The Story or leading to mandatory makeouts.
One last favor -- when you're linking, please make sure your link doesn't lead people to bypass the header information; it's important to give people the opportunity to decide whether they want to read/view the content there.
Rec away!
*As per usual, I'm picking on someone who I hope will forgive me. Seriously, though: Mathnet!

Recs for Supernatural, Firefly & Harry Potter

My relationship with SPN & its fandom is ... complicated, to say the least, but my love for this story is very simple. It's a beautiful story about gender identity and transition, and it fits into canon amazingly well.

This really nails the tone of the show, and it does a great job of looking at different feelings with regard to gender that make perfect sense for the canon.
Those People by
A queer Pansy Parkinson writes an essay on Wizarding LGBT history. The resulting snark is epic.
