Here's my promised guide for seniors/people looking into colleges and scholarships. Hope those of you who need it find it useful! I've also made this entry public, so I really encourage you all to maybe post a link to this entry on your journals. I wrote it specifically with a few of my favorite flisters in mind, but I understand that there are lots of people out there who need some help and encouragement.

QUEER_FEST PROMPTING


Wait, Faor, didn't you post pimp this yesterday? FUCK YEAH I DID, AND I'M DOING IT AGAIN. Please, please, please prompt and represent your fandom(s)! Animangu and videogames need far more representation than they are given, and it's up to you to support it! Even if you only post one prompt, that would be more than awesome! If you want to review some of my FAVORITE FAVORITEST prompts, see here.

QUEER_FEST PROMPTING


For those who are familiar with lgbtfest, this is exactly like that. There are still three days left to write up prompts. Three entire days. I am sure you brilliant fen can do something awesome, and perhaps do some REPRESENTIN' to any animanga series you can think up, or to Sherlock BBC, or to Merlin, or to whatever plays your fancy. Do it. (This is the first time I'll be on time for this fest, so I'm excited and already have one or two that I'm considering.)

And for those who aren't convinced, here are some epic prompts I've seen:
—Genderqueer Yamamoto (KHR). [*]
—Tim Drake is Batgirl; it's the only time she can be herself. [*]
—A shit load of amazing Steve Rogers/Tony Stark goodness.
—MtF or genderqueer!Sora: Xion represented a part of him that he's never shown to anyone. [*]
—MtF!Riku uncomfortable in own body after being possessed, or FtM!Axel who doesn't really want his heart back in case he'll go back to his original body [*]
—R2-D2/C-3PO, having no sexuality doesn't mean you're not gay. [*]
—Bruce Wayne hates talking about his asexuality because he can see "childhood trauma" pass through their minds even if they don't say it out loud. [*]
—God, I love Steve so fucking much for being so goddamn awesome all the time. [*]
