>> Is fix-it fic of an ableist series with canonically physically and psychologically disabled characters okay? (There are plenty of opportunities for awesomeness. The author just keeps not taking them.) The Public Card Handicaps would be perfect. <<
Whatever you want to write is okay. People could even use some of these prompts for topics other than disability if they want.
>> And I'm sorry, but I don't get this reference: "Here's a truck made of amps & a guitar that shoots fire." I think that's from Mad Max: Fury Road, but I don't know what it has to do with disability. (No, I never saw the movie. I saw a billion memes about it instead.) <<
Correct!
One reason I love that movie is that almost all the characters are disabled, and it doesn't stop them from anything. The only one canonically "perfect in every way" was born dead. Anyhow, one of them is blind, and in the big battle scene, he rides out on a truck made of amps playing a guitar that shoots fire. It's outrageous and awesome. So I imagined this meta conversation:
Blind Character: "I wanna go to war!" Standard Canons: "You can't go do war, you idiot, you're blind." Fury Road: "Here's a truck made of amps & a guitar that shoots fire. Have fun storming the castle!"
