How to submit prompts
You can now submit prompts in comments here, which we'll compile into a list for claiming. Please read the rules below before submitting prompts! Prompts can be character- or pairing-specific, fandom-specific, or general. Feel free to submit prompts even if you aren't sure you're going to write for the fest.
As a reminder, please do not submit prompts requesting stories that focus on straight, non-transgender characters, including stories about straight non-transgender characters:
ETA: If you want to submit prompts for crossovers, please use the format "Crossover: Fandom A/Fandom B, character/pairing, prompt."
Examples:
Harry Potter, Ron Weasley/Hermione Granger, After their marriage, either Ron or Hermione comes out as bisexual.
Due South, Ray Vecchio/Benton Fraser, Ray struggles to reconcile his faith with his feelings for Fraser.

Pirates of the Caribbean, any characters, A very long life after having found the Fountain of Youth means having to adjust to a changing world and changing labels.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, any characters, Some of the new Slayers are lesbian or bisexual; how does that affect their interactions with their fellow Slayers?
Stargate Atlantis, any characters, The rules have changed-but just because a character can come out, now, doesn’t necessarily mean that s/he wants to.
Any fandom, any characters, Show us a gay bar that's not just a place to get laid, but also important to a particular community in other ways.
Any fandom, any characters, A canon character begins living as another gender, and has to deal with people's reactions.

ETA: From here on out, if you've already commented and want to add more prompts, please submit them in a new comment rather than editing your original comment. As we start to compile the prompts, that'll make it easier not to miss any.
