Well, most of my fandoms this year are canonically pretty queer, and I don't mind if a writer wants to tag stories for any of them with this mini-challenge. That said, I want to highlight one fandom that I would particularly like to see more deliberately queered!

Fandom: The Witch Family - Eleanor Estes
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: The Witch Family is a fabulously metafictional middle-grade novel from the 1960s about a little girl and her best friend who tell stories that sometimes intrude on their reality. I would love to read fic that queers this premise as the girls get older; whether Amy uses her "fiction" to explore questions about her identity, or the "fictional" girls get together and surprise/spark something in Amy and/or Clarissa, or a "fictional" and a "non-fictional" girl come to a realization together (about one another or their counterparts, or however you want to play with it) ... etc etc.

(I have always found the way that Hannah encounters Lurie in her lagoon in the glass hill to be romantically suggestive!)

Please do keep things G-T rated for this fandom, even if you age up the characters.
