A challenge festival that your mods were too disorganised to promote before, though they really should have:

Festibility Banner: Joey Lucas from the West Wing, Hugo from Lost, Felix Gaeta from Battlestar Galactica, Frank Pembleton from Homicide, and Cassandra Cain from Comics

Festibility is a fandom festival organised by [community profile] access_fandom 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.

Posting dates are July 15 to September 15, 2010, and there is an optional Festibility prompt post you can use for inspiration, as well as a beta pool to help out.

See that banner up there? [personal profile] eruthros has done an awesome job of designing banners with a multitude of chromatic characters in them. Far too often the dominant media around us ignores intersectionality - a token character is either chromatic, or disabled, or GLBTQ. We at [community profile] dark_agenda would love to support more frequent and positive representation of disabled characters, and to talk about intersectionality while we are at it.

So we're putting together a list of chromatic disabled characters here, for the Dark Agenda version of this challenge. Please do consider posting your fanfiction to the Festibility collection at AO3, because then you can tag it with "dark agenda challenge", and we can add it to our collection as well.

Canonically Disabled Chromatic Characters )
Also, a reminder about [community profile] chromaticvision: they are wrapping up their July mini-challenge for recs of fics features chromatic characters. Many of you have old recs written for this comm, or other places (A:tLA fans, I'm looking at you!), so just copy and paste them at this thread over here. Any chance to get more readers to stories that deserve them needs to be taken up!
