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!

Wow, that is utterly terrifying. I would love to read that story, but possibly while cuddling soft fuzzy things in one hand and a bottle of meds in the other.

Axis Dance Company. They're local to me here in the Bay Area. Axix is a mixed company which makes for some innovative performance.

Here's their video clip page: Repertory Performance

I worked for the World Institute on Disability for about eleven years and there were people we knew who danced with them so it's a close association.

Stargate Atlantis, Jeannie (McKay) Miller. How did having epilepsy affect (or not affect, as the case may be) the life decisions she made?

Ooh, yes. Because yes on the love, and yes on the D:

DC: Cassandra Cain and her neuroatypicality. Bonus points for showing how Cass deals with pain (because she can feel it, dammit). Bonus bonus points for including Stephanie Brown, and how it affects Cass to be (platonically or romantically) close to someone who communicates in completely different ways.

DC: Dick Grayson's knee doesn't heal perfectly, and an assistive tool becomes a necessity.

Young Avengers, Eli Bradley: An adverse effect of becoming permanently superpowered is chronic pain; how does he reconcile this with his complicated relationship with medication?

I'd read anything with this prompt, but if someone could work up a reasonably convincing story with Dean Winchester as a covert stutterer, I'd be all over it. Canonically I'm pretty sure he stopped talking for a while as a child. This would be so fascinating to explore.

Dean Winchester. No one knows, but that soft spoken, older, therapist they helped with the ghost that time? He's been going back to see her on the sly for his PTSD. Would love to hear what they talk about in therapy. Bonus if talking is extremely difficult for him.
softestbullet: Aeryn cupping Pilot's cheek. He has his big eyes closed. (Tutu/ magical girl)

Oh, I would love to see his interactions with Babs after this, especially as she gives him pointed looks when he complains about able doing things to him that he has previously done to her.

You could even have an aide of a species traditionally thought of as a service animal-- a super-intelligent dog, maybe.

Stargate SG-1, alt!Cameron Mitchell from the ep The Road Not Taken (canonical wheelchair user, also possible depression and alcoholism). What's the rest of his story?

It could be getting back into space again, fighting the government, saving the world some other way, or "just" building a life for himself.
lady_ganesh: A Clue card featuring Miss Scarlett. (geek chic)

[personal profile] lady_ganesh 2010-07-11 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Gundam Wing, Relena Peacecraft: Pacifists can suffer the aftereffects of war, too, especially one who went through as much as she did. Bonus points for one (or more) pilots helping her through her PTSD and/or reluctance to get help.

any fandom: person with visible adaptive tech (possibly including glasses) ends up in a time or culture that doesn't have that level of technology and is hostile to it (e.g. thinks it's evil sorcery).



(Why, yes, this one comes from a childhood spent imagining myself into fantasy settings and trying to figure out how I would cope with my specs/contact lenses. Why do you ask?)

Thaaaaank you, for serious.

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (books): Motheleli becomes an apprentice mechanic, but for obvious reasons, cannot be assigned to Mr JLB Matekoni; she must overcome both sexism and ableism to prove herself.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed tight that somebody writes this. This is a story I feel like I've been looking for since I was 13.
