terajkIt's Three Weeks for Dreamwidth!
Welcome to the third People with Disabilities (PWD) Being Awesome Commentwork Fest!
How it works:
This is a multi-fandom fest celebrating characters with disabilities doing awesome things! Prompts can be from any fandom, and can feature canonically, non-canonically or supernaturally disabled characters. (Are Remus Lupin and Sookie Stackhouse awesome PWD? You betcha!) You can interpret an undiagnosed character as a PWD, or reimagine someone as one. Don't let the fest's name throw you. All disabled characters can come play, even if they aren't people. Also, no restrictions on rating!
But what do you mean by "being awesome?"
I mean a lot of things: Saving the world, going on adventures, facing off against ableism, hanging out with friends, struggling with changes in identity. A prompt/story doesn't have to be happy to be awesome.
What fanworks are welcome?
Fic, art, podfic, fanmixes, poetry, vids...anything you can think of!
Prompting:
Prompts should have the following format:
Fandom, character/paring, prompt.
For crossovers: Fandom 1/Fandom 2, character/pairing, prompt.
You can leave as many prompts as you like. Also, please use respectful language in your prompt.
Filling Prompts:
If you fill a prompt, either post your story as a reply to the prompt-comment, or post a link to your story as a reply to the prompt if it's hosted elsewhere--say, your journal. (And since this fest is in celebration of![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
three_weeks_for_dw, please post your work only on Dreamwidth for three weeks from the date you posted.) Also, prompts may be filled more than once. You may also fill your own prompts, if you wish.
Warnings:
You may use "Choose Not to Warn" or "No Warnings Apply," or use warnings/content notes for any triggering material.
If you'd like to bait your host...
Prompts in Avatar: The Last Airbender, Ranma 1/2 and Soul Eater are the best way to do this. Just sayin'.
Are signal-boosts welcome?
YES!

Feel free to ask!

DC Comics, Oracle, Out of the fire....

The sharp ping of bullets against armor echoed in her left ear under the headset. "Soonest on the intel, please!" Tim didn't tend to shout, per se, but his voice was louder than usual and high-pitched with stress. A rattling sound followed by a thud; that was probably him rappelling off a roof. Babs catalogued the sounds with only a fraction of her attention as her fingers flew over the keys, trying to keep a sense of the scene more complete than the glimpses her eyes in the sky gave her. She heard a meaty slap made tinny through her earpiece. "O, now, please."
A schematic flashed onto her screen. "81 Curtis, three streets west and seven north of your last known position," she said. Babs looked at tax, utility, public meeting data that scrolled by lightning fast in her peripheral view. Those rooms appeared on instagram, these didn't have enough of a power draw, the whole seventh floor was a Wayne Enterprises R&D space... "The generator could only be on the third floor, fifth door to the left from the fire stairs.
Robin grunted and cut the connection.
In Barbara's memory, a young man dropped his bag heavily by the Gotham City Library reference desk.
"I need stuff for a paper about, um." He checked the crumpled printout in his hand. "The West Indian influence in the development of British maps."
Barbara swiveled the monitor of her rickety old computer to face the boy, and entered the indexing and abstracting databases Gotham Library could only afford because of the generosity of Wayne Enterprises. "You're in luck," she said, as the query results scrolled by. "We have an excellent interlibrary loan agreement with the Metropolis Library Network, and they have a full collection of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London and even -- oh, look -- Transaction of the Institute of British Geographers. There's some perfect primary sources for your research there; we should be able to order and have what you need in by early next week."
"Yeah, no," said the boy, leaning in and giving her a good whiff of eau d'teenager. "Paper's due tomorrow morning."
"Ah." Babs took a deep breath. "What references have you looked at so far?"
The question was pro forma. She expected the bemused answer the boy gave: "I'm just getting started."
Finally he had the boy sitting at a table in the reference area with the selection of mostly-secondary sources which was all the Gotham library could provide. She'd insisted he watch as she did the searches for his materials but she doubted he was paying enough attention to replicate the process for his next paper.
Her headset snapped back the crackling life with Robin's hoarse whispers. "I need instructions for rigging the explosion of 200 kW three-phase Triton diesel, model# MJ200, with enough percussive force to take up the floor but not enough to bring down the building, stat."
Babs sighed, her fingers flying over the keys.
