lgbtfest prompts

[ria_oaks]

Well, I just quite effectively passed an entire class watching a movie I've already seen by typing up prompts for lgbtfest. ^^ Here's what I've come up with so far, most of those I worked out on the bus. I really want to submit a Jack Harkness/Jack Sparrow one, because I've wanted to see more of that (or ANY of it) written for ages, but can't really think of a way to make it legitately about LGBT issues and not just about two hot guys having sex. XD XD Any ideas?? Something about how they both have fluid sexualities and recognize that in each other. Suppose I could throw in something about how others (at the time, or the Doctor & Rose if it's during DW) react to them.

*checks clock* 8 more minutes... I'm not actually sure if I've seen this part of the movie. Might have only seen part of it... oh wells. Not like there's a test on this or anything. ^^ Though it is quite interesting. It's called Forbidden Love and is a documentary about lesbians in the 20s-40s or something. About the difficulties in coming to terms with their sexualities, coming out, getting involved in the hidden gay scene back then...

Anyway, spread around the word about lgbtfest - it's an awesome looking fest, and I can't wait to see what comes out of it (some of the prompts submitted make me bounce with excitement!). Fun though the more shallow slash is, it'll be great to see some stories that really dig into the issues of sexuality and whatnot.

Well, you could do something along the lines of "Bottoms Up" where they meet and just sort of talk about things. Something to bring up/in might be Norrington's reactions at various stages, or Elizabeth's.

Hmm, how's this? Jack S meets Jack H in a pub. Both are feeling the effects of their alcohol of preference. They have been accompanied by one or two friends, who are off doing the things one does in pubs, and can be selected from the POTC, DW, and possibly Torchwood casts. These characters wander in and out of the story, and part or most of the fic is the Jacks commenting on how they see themselves in relationship to these people, rating their hotness/snogability, and how said people react to them. This gradually evolves into the same topics applied to each other, which could conceivably gradually evolve into snogging...?

Or Jack Sparrow + Fountain of Youth + slightly illegible ventures brings him to the attention of the Torchwood Institute, where he is seen as a fine addition to the team and then starts to inadvertently break up Harkness' established relationships.
