Last summer, I bought a copy of Nothing Without Us, an anthology of mostly science fiction and fantasy stories focused on various disabilities, by disabled authors.
Recently the company that published the book released a teaser and guidelines for writers interested in submitting a story for a second Nothing Without Us. Submissions open in September, and I'm going to try to write something for it. Focused on rare disorders, of course.
My initial thought is to take the idea of multiple diagnoses and the question "So, how did the diagnosis affect/change you", and work it into something about alternate realities or parallel worlds. Like, each diagnosis is its own universe. Or something like that, anyway.
We shall see...
Cheers!
