Hi everyone. I've just joined. My name's Cate and I run the website Disability_fanfic. Which, if you don't know, it lists all fanfic I know of (in any fandom) in which a main character had or acquires a disability.

I'm not sure whether this is allowed in this community, so if not then sorry and obviously ignore/delete it. I am looking for recommendations of stories that people have enjoyed that I don't yet have listed on my site (if you can't be bothered checking the site, just rec anyway) which features disability as a major theme.



Thanks in advance for any help

Cate.

First off, fair or not, you might get a better response by linking to your LJ as your archive and not the geocities site. Just a suggestion.

Second, not sure if your timing is purposeful, but you did notice the post before yours was requesting info on a mute fic right?

Third, check with dollydani. She has a series with a deaf OFC (Cassandra - a sister to Colby) that might work for you. It might be listed on her fic journal which is "lj user="pethronindilwen">.

Fourth, for my money there's no better Numb3rs disability fic than by Sammac, who writes Charlie then Don as blind to amazing effect. Her stories are at fanfiction.net. Skewed is first and complete and Relative Motion is still in progress.

I don't have any disability fic (I tend to just maim and kill but I do let the injured heal eventually) but good luck in locating more.

Skewed and Relative Motion are teh awesome. I love them both.

So, umm... I ditto what emmademarais ditto'd. ;)

Ha! I should have *read* yours first. When I started typing mine up there were no comments on this thread. And then I got distracted. It happens... /sigh/

Yeah, hard to beat Skewed (especially the beginning which slays me), but I really do like Dira's Dumbstruck as well.

I did actually consider using my lj rather than geocities, or as well as, but I don't have a lot of skill with livejournal and I know what I'm doing in html. Thanks for the suggestion though, once I work out a sensible way of doing it, I might use lj.

I did notice the post before, but thanks for pointing it out.

I'm avoiding stories focusing of original characters at the moment, mostly out of fear of an influx of mary sue recs, but I'll check out the series you suggested, thanks. And also, thanks for the link to Sammac's ff.net profile, saved me searching for it!

Thanks loads!
