Is there a way to track down those articles?

I hear, I write, I art, I learn, and I sometimes ask stupid questions. Please be gentle.

None of the links at the beginning of the thread seem to be working and I haven't had a lot of success using the search feature to find the listed articles. Anyone else having this problem? My question: Can anyone share titles for any GOOD futuristic scifi books or stories featuring a Deaf...

You shouldn't have to move to find a deaf friendly location. Is it possible for you to start a group of your own? Maybe you could use Facebook to connect with other people in your area. With even a little people power, you and the group could use some of your experiences from college to start...

What is the corrupt message?

I've also never been the target of racism or homophobia but I somehow know it's wrong and fight against it. It's a kid's adventure story, you're probably not my target audience.

Okay, I've been scanning threads for about three hours and I've had some epiphanies: 1. I did the thing that everybody else does 2. My hearing perspective on 'interesting deaf character' probably ISN'T a remarkably 'interesting character' to the deaf community So what WOULD be the better...

That's a fantastic idea, it never even crossed my mind. Thank you!

Yes, that's what I'm reaching for. :)

1%'s, like... rich kids?

One of my English professors used to say, "there's been no original ideas since the Greeks, the only thing you can do is try to put a new spin on an old story."

@whatdidyousay! Well my story might not be for you then, there's nothing wrong with that (lord knows I hated Twilight with a passion). The story is meant for a younger audience and would possibly help hearing youngsters learn about and/or reduce ignorance-fueled stigma towards deaf classmates...

Oh, haha, yes. Authors' forums and groups abbreviate main character as MC. I wasn't thinking about it being different anywhere else (silly me.)

Yes, yes! I started with independent research before realizing that I needed information on a personal level. Google was giving me a lot of dry, clinical information but I'm trying to build a character, not a textbook! After browsing other threads like @DeafNerdMommy suggested I realized there's...

@AlleyCat Why? Because we all like to read about characters who evolve and become stronger. My MC starts out shy, bullied, and socially isolated. Over the course of the story she faces multiple challenges and develops confidence. I don't think writing a deaf character is any weirder than writing...

Outlaw club? What's that? Thank you!

Are you usually asked questions like this, help for creative projects? I saw the other thread about school homework questions being really common.

Thank you for replying. I was concerned my question might come across that way which is why I tried to keep it brief. I've taken DeafNerdMommy's advice and started reading some other threads in this forum (and I'm already seeing some embarrassing hearing-person gaffes I've made over the years--...

I'm blushing in embarrassment right now about the driving-while-deaf question... (I just started actively trying to learn about the deaf community today and that's definitely a question I've had before...)

Well, I'm not sure how to start, honestly. I tried doing research on my own but most of it was very clinical and extremely varied and since I don't know what type of deafness my MC has, I didn't know what to focus on. Do all deaf people face similar hurdles or is it more specific based on their...
