Chromatic Yuletide 2010: Intersectionality

Hello doers of darkness! First of all, thank you so much for all of your help on the nominations spreadsheet. [personal profile] dharmavati, [personal profile] eruthros, and [personal profile] thingswithwings, you all continue to be amazing, and [personal profile] livrelibre, thank you for jumping in as well! In addition to our spreadsheet wranglers, we would also like to thank [personal profile] monanotlisa and [personal profile] plazmah for making us our lovely [community profile] dark_agenda and Chromatic Yuletide icons.

Secondly, a signal-boost while we wait for the Yuletide 2010 fandoms list: [community profile] access_fandom has compiled a list of disabled characters in nominated Yuletide fandoms! As you all know, [community profile] dark_agenda's mission is to promote the representation of chromatic characters in fanworks, but we would love to support more frequent and positive representation of other mis- and underrepresented groups, and to talk about intersectionality while we are at it. Thus, we urge you to revisit the list of disabled chromatic characters that we created for the Festibility challenge, and to let us know if there are any that we can add to it. You may also have noticed that we have an Intersectionality column in our spreadsheet, where chromatic characters who are disabled and/or identify as LGBTQI, Jewish, Muslim, etc. can be highlighted.

Lastly, if you're looking for a source for [community profile] dark_agenda purposes, we have a post locked to the community that may be helpful.
