Festibility: Prompt Post

Welcome to the Festibility prompts post!

Festibility is a fandom festival accepting all kinds of fanworks (fic, meta, art, icons, podfic, vids, recs, picspams, drabble sets etc) about disabled characters. Works can focus on canonically disabled characters or canonically able-bodied characters that you reimagine as disabled. Pieces can be as long or short as you like. You can find out more at the Festibility announcement post on access_fandom!

Here’s how the prompts will work:

Prompts can be general or fandom- or character-specific. You can also choose to specify a type of disability. Be creative and have fun. Post prompts now through September 15th!

Fills can be posted starting Thursday, July 15th and the posting period goes until September 15th. We encourage you to post disability-centric fanworks to [community profile] access_fandom after the close of the fest. After September 15th, please post to the community instead of commenting here, and link back to the prompt (if any) that inspired you.

Nest Your Responses. Respond directly to a prompt with the text of your story in the comment or a link to the story if it is posted elsewhere.

Anonymous commenting is allowed. To post anonymously when logged in, click on 'More Options' and pick 'Anonymous'. Do not ask anyone to reveal themselves if they choose to post anonymously.

Warnings:
We want warnings to be a community standard for this festival. If you need help putting warnings on your fan work, please ask your beta or contact a moderator. We accept “Choose Not To Warn” as a warning, but in the interest of making this fest as accessible as possible we prefer to have works be labeled with specific trigger warnings.

ETA: Please state one of the following on your work: "No warnings apply", "Choose Not to Warn" or include warnings/content notes mentioning any triggering material that does apply to your work. Marking your work in this way helps people with triggers to navigate the Festibility responses. Thank you! /ETA

Warn for common triggers even if the prompt implies some. You must warn for common violent or sexual triggers. Unwarned stories/art are subject to immediate screening at the mods' discretion.

o Triggers to warn for:
o non-con, dub-con, and rape
o character death
o suicide
o self-injury
o child abuse
o graphic torture
o incest
o underage (under the age of 18)
o extremely ableist language
o mind control
o If you are uncertain if you should include a warning, better safe than sorry.

The above list is not all-inclusive or meant to be limiting: people can and should warn for other things. You can gray out warnings or spoilers using this code that amadi posted, which also works for screenreaders.

If you have a policy of not warning, you must put "Author does not warn" in the subject line. Failure to do so will result in immediate screening/deletion.

Post links to NSFW images or images that require warnings. Do not embed them.

Single prompts can be answered as many times as you wish.

Anonymous posting and commenting is allowed.

Language reminder: Please say “has diabetes”, don’t say “suffers from diabetes” or “suffers hearing loss” when describing someone’s disability. Please say “uses a wheelchair” or similarly neutral language, do not say “wheelchair bound” or “confined to a wheelchair”. Please do not use ableist or other oppressive pejoratives such as “lame”. For more about inclusive language, click on the language tag of this community. Also, please do not include disabilities in your content warnings--It is disrespectful to cast a piece of someone's identity as a warning.

ETA: There have been some concerns raised about this language policy. For clarification, this language reminder is meant more for prompt suggestion than for actual fic. You are allowed to use whatever language you like in your fan fic. If there is a lot of ableist language in your fic, we would prefer that you warn for it in your fic headers. You are also welcome to address the negative as well as the positive aspects of living with a disability.

Thank you for participating! Let the prompts begin!

[personal profile] eruthros 2010-07-10 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I really like this idea!
thingswithwings: Holmes lies in bed with Watson sitting worried nearby (holmes - h in bed w nearby aw)

[personal profile] thingswithwings 2010-07-10 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I was thinking Sherlock Holmes or Miles Vorkosigan, but really any fandom: a person who has depression or is bipolar, and how they get through a difficult day.
eruthros: Delenn from Babylon 5 with a startled expression and the text "omg!" (DB promo pic tie)

[personal profile] eruthros 2010-07-10 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Stargate Atlantis, John Sheppard uses his wrist strap as an assistive device for an anxiety disorder
eruthros: Delenn building the crystal machine in season 1  of B5, captioned "foreshadowing" (B5 - Delenn incredible foreshadowing)

[personal profile] eruthros 2010-07-10 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Babylon 5, G'Kar sees Narn differently with his new eye
thingswithwings: dear teevee: I want to crawl inside you (a dude crawls inside a tv) (Default)

[personal profile] thingswithwings 2010-07-10 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
A:TLA: Zuko's never told anyone that he can't see out of his left eye anymore.
eruthros: Martha Jones smiling! (DW - Martha Jones is awesome)

[personal profile] eruthros 2010-07-10 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
A character who has a mobility impairment can run to save someone's life, but zie knows what the consequences will be the next day. (Perhaps Johnny Smith from The Dead Zone or John Watson from Sherlock Holmes?)
staranise: A star anise floating in a cup of mint tea (Default)

[personal profile] staranise 2010-07-10 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG YES.
staranise: A star anise floating in a cup of mint tea (Default)

[personal profile] staranise 2010-07-10 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Any fandom (possibly Dark Angel Max/Logan): romantic hurt/comfort in which the abled partner is hurt and needs comforting, and the PWD is more than capable of taking care of both of them.
lightgetsin: The Doodledog with frisbee dangling from her mouth, looking mischievious, saying innocence personified. (Default)

[personal profile] lightgetsin 2010-07-10 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)

[personal profile] passerine 2010-07-10 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Prompt: Chronicles of Amber (or any other universe in which regeneration is possible but far from instant). A character manages to regenerate a missing body part (Benedict's arm for instance) and finds the experience intensely unpleasant and disorienting rather than "Yay I've got my missing piece back!"
james: (Default)

[personal profile] james 2010-07-10 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Prompt: any RPS fandom, character has a panic disorder and tries to hide/downplay its severity from everyone else when they first start working together

[personal profile] gloss 2010-07-10 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Prompt: Community, Abed Nadir, Reading people according to pop-culture tropes isn't infallible, but it's by far the best approach of all the ones Abed has tried over the years.
gloss: woman in front of birch tree looking to the right (Community: Troy & Abed in the Morning)

[personal profile] gloss 2010-07-10 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Prompt: Community, Troy Barnes, His kegstand injury has left Troy with chronic pain.
james: (Default)

[personal profile] james 2010-07-10 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)

gloss: woman in front of birch tree looking to the right (BB: Jaime/scarab otp)

[personal profile] gloss 2010-07-10 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Prompt: Blue Beetle (DC comics), Alberto and Jaime Reyes realize that Alberto's cane and Khaji-Da are different kinds of assistive tech. (Jaime's disability is up to you, but I can certainly make a case for PTSD and monophobia.)
thingswithwings: dear teevee: I want to crawl inside you (a dude crawls inside a tv) (Default)

[personal profile] thingswithwings 2010-07-10 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
NICE.

[personal profile] james 2010-07-10 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! Hopefully lots and lots of prompt-fillers will agree. ;-)
james: (Default)

[personal profile] james 2010-07-10 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Prompt: DCU, a Green Lantern uses the ring to provide an abled body (physical disability up to you).
thingswithwings: dear teevee: I want to crawl inside you (a dude crawls inside a tv) (Default)

[personal profile] thingswithwings 2010-07-10 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too! I really really want stories that challenge the Trek universe approach to disability. *fistshake*
gloss: woman in front of birch tree looking to the right (Fury knows best)

[personal profile] gloss 2010-07-10 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Nick Fury and Bucky Barnes, Marvel comics, Fury helps Bucky with the new arm; its backstory, Fury's longterm eye issues, and Bucky's adjustment would all be great to include.
such_heights: amy and rory looking at a pile of post (m: morgana [the past is prologue])

Merlin: Morgana has a complicated relationship with medication.
