Fan Casting Disabled in the Adaptation(Adaptational Disability, Adaptationally Disabled)

Role added by benanderson on October 9, 2022

Description of Disabled in the Adaptation (Adaptational Disability, Adaptationally Disabled):

In adaptations sometimes characters are given disabilities, both physical and mental, that were not in the original work. The reason for this differs from work to work. One reason could be because the adaptation's writers don't believe the characters should be so unscathed from their adventures. Another reason could be in order to provoke more drama. In the case of mental illness, this often (but not always) relates to an Adaptational Angst Upgrade, though it is by no means limited to it. "Disabled AUs" are a popular type of fan-work as a result.
