Welcome to the I Want Fries With That! Bingo fest. Everyone is invited to play. All fandoms and original content are suitable. All formats and sizes are too. See our Bingo and Achievement page for more ideas. This fest runs from September 1-30. I have made a set of public cards below, or you can make your own with the Bingo Card Generator.
This fest focuses on the Fries test for disability in fiction. To pass the test, a work must meet the following qualifications:
* Does a work have more than one disabled character?
* Do the disabled characters have their own narrative purpose other than the education and profit of a nondisabled character?
* Is the character’s disability not eradicated either by curing or killing?
Additions from Nicola Griffith:
* Novels in which crips talk to each other?
* Novels in which we talk to each other about something other than wanting to be cured, or how to get cured, or why we want to die because we can’t be cured?
While it is not required that works pass the Fries test in order to count as bingo fills, this fest is intended to increase the amount of entertainment that represents people with disabilities in the same range of complexity as everyone else. Contemporary fiction tends to underrepresent or misrepresent disability. This is a problem we can fix, by the simple expedient of flinging new material into the gap until it fills up. Do you know creative folks with a disability? Invite them to participate!
The new prompts for this fest are based on individual parts of the Fries test or related concepts that aim in the same general direction.
Also active in this fest are the previous lists of Handicaps and People with Disabilities in the Bingo Card Generator.
You may wish to use additional lists such as Characterbuilding Considerations, Desperate Situations, Emotions, Ethnic Groups, Gentle Fiction, Negative Coping Techniques, Plot Tropes, Positive Coping Techniques, Themes, and Types of Family.
