3WFDW: The People with Disabilities Being Awesome Commentfic Fest

[terajk]

 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 access_fandom  I thought: "What better time to celebrate people with disabilities being awesome than 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.

Just a bear. And here he'd thought it was something to worry about.

This is wonderful. And this finish encapsulates everything that is so inherently awesome about Michael Carpenter. I do love his recognition that he and his family aren't invulnerable, and that maybe, just maybe, Harry Dresden is sometimes right about needing to protect himself.

Thank you so much! I'd originally conceived this story to be about Michael taking on some sort of terrifying magical creature, but I realized as I started writing it that it says so much more, really, that after everything that he's faced, the sort of terrors that haunt other people would be something he could shrug off. And yet, he's not invulnerable either, and he knows all too well just how vulnerable he can be.

I ♥ Michael so much. :)
