One prompting day left!
This is it! You have just over 24 hours to get your prompts in, before we finalize the list! If you've been waiting to come up with the perfect list, don't wait too much longer. ^_^
Here's where you leave your prompts!
And a bit of other business:
During the prompting period, we've heard from several people who'd like to see the challenge expanded in various ways -- allowing more fandoms, allowing more kinds of relationships -- and we're thrilled to see so much interest! We'll definitely take all these things into consideration when it's time to plan for round two. (Look at us -- we haven't even finished the first part of round one yet, and already thinking about round two. You've shown us so much enthusiasm!)
But we also worry about having this challenge get too broadly focused for us to be able to keep up with it or promote it effectively. We chose the current limits because these are parts of fandom where we have some personal investment, and because it's really important to us to encourage more representation of queer women's relationships.
So if this round isn't entirely meeting your needs, we'll see what we can do next time but we'd also like to encourage you to think about whether you could organize something that would provide what you're looking for yourself -- on your own or with a friend or two. The excitement people have shown foryuri_challenge shows that there's a lot of enthusiasm around DW for female-character-focused events. If there's something in particular that you'd really love to see, chances are you're not alone!

no subject
I hadn't thought of this, but you have a good point. Minor roles (or later ones) for women might not appear in the anime/manga adaptations. Juunikokuki comes to mind as an example. Though I suspect that if you've already prompted characters like this for this round the mods probably aren't going to weed them out, due to time constraints and the fact that they're pretty easy-going folks. ^_^
