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.

He wonders, sometimes, what it would be like to spend his life distracted by irrelevant things. It would be a short life, he’s sure.

He should probably be ashamed of exploiting their weakness—a martial artist doesn’t pick on the weak—and they are pathetic about it. Even his beloved calls him a “master of hidden weapons,” as if being seen is essential to a weapon’s existence. He is a master of weapons: knives and bombs and roped hooks all snug against his body, at all times. (His opponents always, always pause to look at the training potty, opening themselves up for a conking).

It is this childlike trust, this mistaking a tool to know something exists for actual existence, that makes them say, “Put your glasses on, stupid”—and he does, when he wants. But to think he needs them is their weakness. He doesn’t need Ranma’s face to thwack him with an iron ball; he doesn’t need the curve of Shampoo’s jaw to drown in the Ang Jiu of her eyes.
