access_fandomDoes anyone have the resources/time/desire to run a challenge similar to dark_agenda's chromatic Yuletide challenge? At least in my perception, that challenge has done a fair amount to raise visibility of and thoughtfulness around chromatic sources. I think it would be fabulous if we did a similar challenge for characters with canon disabilities, but I am (obnoxiously) promoting the idea while admitting that there's no way on earth I have time to help run it.
(Only one of my Yuletide nominations is for book starring a character with a disability: Dia Reeves' awesome Bleeding Violet, whose protagonist has bipolar disorder.)

Date: 2010-10-20 07:31 pm (UTC)Off the top of my head, things I recognize as characters who would be on both lists:
Everyone from Avatar: the last Airbender YES SUCK IT M. KNIGHT
Hanna from Dia Reeves' Bleeding Violet
Abed Nadir, from Community
And one I haven't nominated on the other post yet because I feel kind of uncomfortable about it although there is a small amount of fan fiction over at the pit of voles: Eon/Eona, from Allison Goodman's Dragoneye series. There's a magical semi-cure which always pisses me off, and also white author writing about a semi-orientalized mythical Asia. But within those caveats, she actually does a fairly good job with disability -- from my outsider point of view with Asia as well, but I'm not sure, so.
