PANFANDOM REC MEME

"I ship it!"
"I want fic!"
"I want art!"
"I don't care what it is, but I want it!"
"Where's the fandom?"

Rec meme! You ask for recs, and others provide (or fill!).

Maybe there's something you'd really like to see but you can't find it. Why not ask for help? It might be out there! Or maybe there's something you really loved reading and you want someone to geek over it with. Why not rec it to someone else? Maybe they'll love it too! Who knows, someone out there might be looking for something that sounds exactly like someone you know just created.

Don't feel bad about reccing your own stuff, either. Apparently someone else wants to see it, right?

OBLIGATORY TEXTBOX (optional, dont worry):
<b>Fandom:</b> <b>Preferred Medium:</b> (art? fic? comics? etc) <b>Preferred Genre:</b> (gen? romance? angst? etc) <b>Characters/Pairings:</b> (if any) <b>Anything else? Details?</b>


Regular post will be up soon!

I don't mind when there's some/a lot of plot that touches on a character's disability, especially when it's "identity stuff"- media that gives a character a disability and then completely ignores it is nearly as aggravating as media that ignores everything else about them. I'm just tired of reading and watching things where there's no real plot or action beyond that.

Thanks for the recs, these sound awesome!

I agree! But I think all of these books are great stories foremost, and the way they each incorporate and handle disabilities is to their credit. Spellwright is the most disability focussed but I believe in a good, interesting way - it affects his life, how he thinks of himself and how others think of him, and it's the reason people around him are suddenly getting murdered, so it rather warrants focus! And tbh I think it might be the only book I've read with a (basically) dyslexic main character or even someone who is magical but not in the "normal" way, so for me at least it didn't feel at all like it was rehashing the same old tropes. Plus I have to say I think the magic system in Spellwright is so original and fascinating, it's brilliant. I haven't seen many people around talking about it (not that I've looked particularly hard :P ) but I think it's definitely worth a look.

The Demon's Lexicon and ASOIAF both have ensemble casts and shifting viewpoints, so the disability stuff is much less a major plot point and more another element to deal with in some rather complex and adventurous lives. All of these books have a lot of plot and action! I hope you enjoy :)
