This is such an awesome idea!

I just wanted to add something to my author sign-up: most visual art is accessible to me but not animated GIFS or anything with quick, choppy or spinning movement, or flashing lights. I know some Big Bangs have icons or animated GIFs as art, so I wanted to add that to my "inaccessible" list without removing the entire visual art category. And thank you for having such a question on the form!

Thank you for signing up! And thank you for letting me know, I'll add that to your sign-up information.

I have the same issue that lilacsigil mentioned: animated GIFS or anything with quick, choppy or spinning movement, or flashing lights. Any of those things are likely to trigger epileptic seizures in me. So while most visual art is great, there's a certain type of visual art that, for me, is inaccessible. And thank you for asking!

Alright, I'll add that to your sign-up info. And I'm adding animated gifs to the sign-up form. Thank you for signing up!

I just really, really want to thank you for including written meta as a potential disability-related Not A Thing; having had multiple strokes, in addition to anything that is moving on a computer screen (video, GIFs) being a problem, meta tends to tangle my head and leave me exhausted trying to follow. Many people assume that if you can write a lot you can read a lot in any given context, and I am decidedly not that person, and I appreciate that recognition.
