Continuing Discussion of Accessibility of Fanfic Challenges

[sasha_feather]

There has been some discussion lately about ableism and fanfic challenges, specifically Yuletide, many referencing kaz's October 24th post about Challenges. The are now 99 comments at that post.

Here are a couple of links I've seen from my corner of fandom; feel free to add more in comments if you like. If you would like to use this space to talk about social anxiety issues in relation to online fandom, fanfic challenges, etc, I invite you to comment as you feel comfortable.

Thanks for these links; they're probably the most constructive discussions about Yuletide/etc. that I've read in the last week, and gives me a lot to think about with regard to fandom and the future.

Excellent!

I kind of want to hide somewhere now with everyone linking that post. >>

Also, are you still thinking of running the disability ficathon? Because I'm still interested! :)

I am definitely interested in a disability ficathon! Perhaps we could chat about it at some point. :)
