Oh, the hell with it (The PWD Being Awesome fest)

You know how when you're really craving, say, pizza, but you're trying not to eat pizza (for whatever reason), so you eat other things but then still end up eating pizza anyway? Yeah, so that happened to me today. Because even though I plan this for Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, and even though KNOW [community profile] three_weeks_for_dw  is a month away, I REALLY want characters with disabilities doing awesome things today.

Welcome to the 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). 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'.

Questions?:

Feel free to ask!

Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it! The orange kitty is totally based on one of our cats.
