TransTide 2023

Reposting from 2022’s post from simonlorden with permission.

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?

• Leave a comment on this post linking your letter and/or listing your requested fandoms and characters if you 1) requested canonical trans characters, 2) are happy to receive a gift where your writer headcanons one or several of the characters as trans.
• Feel free to add any likes and DNWs.
• Make sure to include your ao3 name!
• If you post a fic for Yuletide with one or more trans characters, tag it with TransTide so people can find it easily.

Fandom Alliance-Union - C. J. Cherryh
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: Meg & Sal: I don't have any trans headcanon here, but if you've always wanted to write Meg or Sal as trans then go ahead, it could only make Meg resonate more strongly with me.

Fandom Sing For Me - Jaymie Wagner
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: None of the three headline characters are canonically trans, and I don't think being a trans woman would work with Amy or Amélie's backstories, but a trans Leah could be interesting to consider.

Alternatively a careful exploration of gender on the part of one or more of the characters post-canon could also be interesting.
