Queer Fest is a fest for fanfic that focuses on the experience of being queer. It replaced the LGBT Fest, which stopped in 2010. Queer Fest was announced in the LGBT Fest livejournal:

While there have been some great discussions in the previous posts about having a community open year round to prompts, some of us really wanted a fest to celebrate the lgbt experiene. To that end, queer_fest is open for business! Much of the rules have been shamelessly stolen from lgbtfest, and the format is entirely the same.

To date, rounds have been held in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. Prompting and prompt claiming happens in March–April, posting in May–June.
