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 toaccess_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!

I've been really tired lately, but the doctor says that I'm fine. Must be stress due to my ~*~great new role~*~ (see my last six blogs for details). I'm putting my Myspace videos on a hiatus for a while so I can adjust to my new schedule. Don't worry, I won't be gone for too long. In the meantime (view more)

Santana Lopez I think that means you should see a doctor, and you'd better do it quick. My first time in New York isn't going to be for a stupid funeral.

Well, I'll add it to the list of diseases I'll cure when I'm famous. But I don't think they're going to rename it to Berry's disease. Maybe I'll get Abram's cure, though.

The format is all I hoped for and more! The google search, for instance! Never would have thought of that, and it's brilliant! And this: [this entry was autosaved at 2:53 PM.
This entry was posted at 5:59 PM.] I don't have fibro, but do run out of spoons on a regular basis and yeaaaahh, that's familiar. And you did a really good job of including bits of longer conversations/correspondences, or half of a conversation, without making it confusing - just made me want more.
Rachel is so IC - incredible.
I love the little details: Quinn's email address, Brittany Lopez, Artie studying to be a doctor, Puck's spelling in his text messages.
Critique: I wanted to see Rachel actually have to change her goals. Um, this is not "you should write exactly what I want to read" comment, I hope ...
I'm not entirely sure if taking a lead role in a Broadway musical is feasible for someone with fibro - my impression of fibro is that even if the good days are really good, the bad days would keep you from performing anyway. But this critique also has to do where I am right now - I can't do what I want to do, so I've come up with a back-up plan and maybe someday I'll do what I want to do via other means, maybe, perhaps, but it'll take longer and it's no sure thing and I wanted to see a fictional character deal with that same issue ...
In other words: dear author, you may not be dead, but don't think you have the last word on your story, your readers will always bring something to it. ; )
If this were a longer fic, I'd have wanted to see more of the totally not fun process of getting a fibro diagnosis - hahaha doctors who tell you that you can't really be in that much pain - and the often frustrating process of getting medicated and the inadequacy of the meds and - but that would be a different fic and I definitely like the one you wrote : )
(Ummm slightly uncertain of including the critique but I like to be honest and I like talking about how stories can be better as well as what they did well. So.)
Anyway, I enjoyed the hell out of this fic and I keep rereading it and it's all so very special because someone wrote it because I asked! Thanks so much : ) And once I know who you are, I am totally reading the fuck out of the rest of your fic.
Re: sick and tired of being sick and tired (glee, rachel, g)
(Anonymous) 2010-07-16 04:01 am (UTC)(link)I don't actually think that Rachel would make it back to Broadway to be honest, because you're right, it would be very hard. But this is Rachel we're talking about, the theater is her whole life, and I think it would take years and years before she'd actually give in to her hurting and admit this to herself. She's still setting unrealistic goals and that's a little heartbreaking, but I wanted to end on a somewhat peppy note. Your critique is, again, really wonderful and appreciated. (PS I think she'll end up as a singing coach to the next gen of Broadway hopefuls, and be on the stage by proxy of her students.)
I am so so very glad you liked it; it's unlike anything I've ever written before and I was really nervous about posting it, but as long as the OP appreciated it, that's enough for me. Thank you again, for the great writing opportunity and for reading.
Re: sick and tired of being sick and tired (glee, rachel, g)
thanks for writing this fic, though. the little details are really great.
