3WFDW: The People with Disabilities Being Awesome Commentfic Fest



 Welcome to the People with Disabilities (PWD) Being Awesome Commentfic Fest!

I love people with disabilities doing awesome things. In the spirit of  Festibility at [community profile] access_fandom  I thought: "What better time to celebrate people with disabilities being awesome than [community profile] three_weeks_for_dw ?" (In the shower this morning, because I am the best planner ever.)



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. 

ETA 4/28: No restrictions on rating. Sorry that was unclear!

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.

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). Also, prompts may be filled more than once.

ETA: 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.

Questions?:

Feel free to ask me questions! I've never, ever run a fest before (I'll plan this better next year, I swear), so I probably left stuff out.

Jame Alan Gardner's 'League of Peoples' books, any character: "Kids deemed too stupid or too excessively 'broken' for field work? Get their differences fixed. Bright kids are deemed 'broken' just badly enough to make them visibly different from their peers? Get recruited to the Explorer Corps. A character's reaction to finding out that they're not 'broken' badly enough to dodge the draft." AUs, crossovers, etc are all welcome. :)
