Celebrate Trans Characters: Transtide 2022
What is TransTide?
Since trans headcanons and the portrayal of trans characters can be personal for many people, writers might be nervous to write trans headcanons without invitation. This mini challenge is for people to signal that they would love to receive trans headcanons, as well as to showcase their requested fandoms with canon trans characters.
Note that this exchange is open to nonbinary characters as well.
How do I participate?

Fandom Specific Details
I'm particularly open to trans headcanons for my requests in the Crier's War, Dimension 20: A Court of Fey and Flowers, and Oz - L. Frank Baum canons. For Oz - L. Frank Baum, I wanted to especially highlight the character of Ozma, who I would argue is canonically trans (and I who certainly headcanon as such). I'd love to read something that features her reflecting on her gender in a particularly joyful context interspersed with the magic of that world. More specific prompts for all fandoms are included in my letter.
