Claims now open!
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}
lgbtfest's prompts are now available for claiming, from now until March 15th. With 901 prompts to choose from in a huge variety of fandoms covering all kinds of different subject matter centered around the experience of being queer in some way or other, this looks like it's going to produce some fascinating stories. Peruse prompts here, the calendar of posting dates here, and claim your prompt and date here! 
I've snagged this, which is a story I've been meaning to write for ages anyway: Luna has always had as open, untroubled, and inquisitive an attitude toward sexuality as toward everything else, but other people aren't quite so accepting.
Exciting stuff!

Do you have a posting day yet?

And yup, I'm posting April 27th. Which is far enough away not to be scary at all yet, heh.

April 27th's a good date; it gives you the rest of this month and most of the next to get it written. As you probably saw, I requested May, but mostly because of school writing, Script Frenzy writing, and the fact that it'll give me some time to let the story sit before I have to post it. :)
To answer this comment: thanks! I was hoping there'd be a prompt in the SPN area that would allow me some femmeslash room, and not only does that one allow for it, but it also leaves it open for a lot more, I think.
I'm really REALLY looking forward to your fic, though. HP femmeslash is one of my favorite things ever, and I don't read many stories with Luna. Plus, you're a great writer. :D

Mmm, yeah, and I can put it off for a bit while I write this round of coursework plus other challenges I'm doing currently, so hopefully it'll work out! What is Script Frenzy, by the way? I remember you mentioning it before, but if there were details I didn't take them in.
Oh, indeed it does (we can has lesbian hunters, plz?), and generally the whole idea of a fringe within a fringe seems really interesting.
Aww, thanks! I don't know why I don't write more femmeslash myself, especially as I love Luna and she pings my gaydar like woah, so here's a chance to rectify that a little.

There's no freaking way I'd write about queer hunters and not include lesbians! Hunting seems to me like a male-dominated field, so I don't think it's much of a leap that there'd be a high proportion of lesbian hunters. I bet gay male hunters would be more likely to be closested, too, so really, there's a bunch of interesting avenues to explore.
Script Frenzy's like NaNoWriMo, only it's for various forms of scripts (from movie to play to comic) and it takes place in April. I'm doing a webcomic script, and since I only have to get 100 pages, it's not going to be taxing enough to keep me from dabbling in another project. But probably only one more. ;)
I feel you on the Luna gaydar. Maybe it's because she has a mysterious air to her? Ambiguity seems to be a big factor in gaydar on my end.

Yup, I agree - ooh this all sounds very exciting!
Ah ok, that's pretty cool!
Mmm, yes, that - also, and for me this goes for Neville to an extent (in fact, a lot of my favourite characters in HP, to be honest, which I think says a lot about what I look for in fictional characters!), that feeling of being different and apart from the mainstream, the way she doesn't respond the way everyone else does to things.
