Fan works with a prominent focus on LGBTQIA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual and/or aromantic) characters and people. The subject/theme of these works may or may not be about LGBTQIA+ culture and identities and can be highly varied. To be listed here, the work must contain either a main or recurring LGBTQIA+ character, or there must be a high frequency of LGBTQIA+ figures appearing rather than limiting it to one or two offhanded/one-off appearances. Word of Gay examples do not go here: the character's identity must be established within the work itself. See LGBT Fanbase for works that do not have unambiguous LGBTQIA+ subject matter, but attract a significant LGBTQIA+ fandom.
Some of these works have characters coming out or being shown to be LGBTQIA+ as reveals, beware of spoilers.
