I don't understand number three.

I think the profit is supposed to come in the form of the mini-fics people produce in response to number two! Like possibly this meme could also work with just listing a couple of things about the chosen character's sexuality and fantasies (e.g.: Tony Stark: bi, bondage, zero-g sex) but I think that writing mini-drabbles is much more fun!

And anyway fics that are about a character's sexuality are kind of rare, aren't they? Like, there is plenty of shippy fic in the world (which is absolutely my favourite kind of fic!) but I haven't seen many examples of fic that is about a single character's sexual history / sexual desires / sexual orientation.

Ah, I see :-) Well, I feel like lgbtfest gets a lot of those out there, but yeah, I hear you.

Hah, lgbtfest (apparently called queerfest this year!) has produced a lot of interesting fic. Buuuut, it very sensibly doesn't extend to kinks, and also, you know, I find the prompt-and-response format kind of weird to use in this case. Like, for me, I have a fairly sharp idea about the sexual life of every character I like and know well enough. So I don't think I could write someone else's ideas!

Huh. Whereas mine is sort of shaped as I go along by the fic.
