The Racebending Revenge Challenge started last year as a protest against whitewashing in Western media and in particular The Last Airbender. The challenge was to:
Re-write one or more white characters in the fandom(s) of your choice as chromatic/non-white/PoC, in a story of at least 500 words, with some acknowledgment of how the racial difference would make a difference to the story being told.

[...] We want to know how a man called Sherlock Holmes in Victorian England would function if his skin was the colour of soot, or what Latino Dean and Sam Winchester would do to convince people to trust them, and if Buffy the Vampire Slayer can be Asian and still save the world (a lot).
It has been half a year since the challenge went live, but submissions are still trickling in. To promote these recent fanworks -- and to further promote old ones, we've compiled a masterlist of Racebending Revenge Challenge fanworks & resources.

Many thanks to all the artists, beta volunteers and writers who contributed to our challenge and to all the readers and reccers who read/viewed and supported these fanworks! ETA: We still welcome submissions here and/or at Racebending Revenge Archive of Our Own Collection.

It's the 2nd of July in most time zones, and our challenge is live!

Head on over to the Racebending Revenge Collection over at the Archive of our Own to check out the 23 31 36 stories posted so far, and do make sure to leave feedback.

If you have posted your fanwork -- fanfiction or fanart -- elsewhere, drop a link to it here. We will edit this post so as to create a masterlist, and eventually try to link to everything from the AO3 collection.

Thank you all for your enthusiasm and support for this ficathon, and we hope that you will continue to participate in our future efforts to encourage the creation of fanworks with chromatic character and sources.

Enjoy!

(P.S. - take a look at our gorgeous and shiny new header, designed by [personal profile] monanotlisa, with a layout by [personal profile] zvi!)
