Blackisbeautifulex fanfic exchange fest
I keep looking longingly at the new ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
blackisbeautifulex fanfic exchange fest for Black characters.
I don't think that I, personally, should promise to produce a story in less than a month (assignments sent on January 31, due on February 21). But I do so love some too-neglected characters who qualify for this fest, and the sign-up requirements are so light! "You must offer at least 3 fandoms with 1 [qualifying] character."
(Unfortunately, YB has no qualifying characters, although, perhaps curiously, the original series story bible called for Siroc to be a formerly enslaved person. Obviously, that didn't make it into canon. But it may explain why, of them all, only Siroc has not a single dialogue reference to his personal background, as if they simply dropped the subject instead of rewriting it.)
