TransTide 2023

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.

Fandoms: Indexing - Seanan McGuire; Chalet School - Elinor M. Brent-Dyer; The Haunting of Hill House - Shirley Jackson

Details: Not all my fandoms suit, quite, but:

Gender identity tropes are very much played with in Indexing, and my headcanon is that one of my requested potential characters, Demi Santos, is non-binary.

My Chalet School request is all about queering that fandom in as many ways as possible, and there are several characters who are definitely gender non-conforming and could easily be read, or written, as trans.

For Hill House, I could perhaps see a trans Eleanor; she is so fiercely repressed and crushed by her family, and the story is set in 1959, that she could very well be an egg; Theodora's "friend" is never given any definite gender identifiers in canon, and my headcanon is that they're the '50s equivalent of genderqueer.

My likes and DNWs can be a bit daunting, but they're in my letter if this catches your eye - and thanks.
