A couple of years ago [personal profile] zvi started an excellent Pro-Character of Color/Anti-Racism Guide which she still maintains. We're not attempting to maintain a list with the same breadth and comprehensiveness nor can we hope to, but here are some communities dedicated to promoting racial and cultural diversity, representation and discussion in fandom (among others).

Chromatic Diversity

Intersectionality

If you know of any other communities (or resources), please share them in the comments! Thank you!

Inspired by Chromatic Yuletide, I thought it would be really good to do something similar (if on a smaller scale) for the latest Porn Battle.

about the Porn Battle )

My hope is to be able to post a list of prompts including characters of colour alongside the usual prompt list, and, at the end of the Battle, produce a list of chromatic fills, which would have its own page on the website. The aim: (1) to see if we can increase the number of chromatic works in the challenge, by encouraging authors/artists/vidders to consider prompts they might not have otherwise thought of and (2) to provide a handy resource for fans looking for chromatic stories/art/vids.

Which is where community readers come in - I need volunteers.

If anyone would like to help, please either let me know in the comments, or email me at oxoniensis[@]gmail[.]com. Suggestions would also be welcome, though anything major might have to wait until the next Battle for me to implement.

Many thanks to the [community profile] dark_agenda mods for letting me post here. (P.S. I couldn't find a suitable tag, sorry.)
