terajkWelcome 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.

Date: 2011-04-30 10:48 pm (UTC)... how sad is it that now I want to do a whole series of these? Because Duncan's was the first one that popped into my head, but I also think it would be very interesting to explore Methos's reaction to the same situation -- having to adapt to fighting one-handed. Because he'd have a whole host of issues of his own, but his issues would be different from Duncan's ...
