hello! i just had a quick question about the fest: does the identity have to be the main focus of the content we create, or is it alright to just have it casually in the fic (so we don't have to write a coming-out fic each time)? sorry if it's a daft question, i just wanted to check. for example, would we be able to submit a fic for the week focusing on gender that features a non-binary merlin but that isn't the main plot of the fic, it's instead them making a forest grow inside the castle by accident?

anonymous asked: Hi. So about your Dolma gif being used for your Pride event (ask is closed there BTW)... I think this is very insensitive. Isn't the Dolma just a cis man dressed as a woman, done as a "comedic" gesture in the show? It's quite something to host an event about gender and sexual identity and then use this gif to represent it. I know this event comes from love and good intention and I'm sure you didn't think about it that way, but this may feel like a slap in the face to trans and non binary people.
