i started this fic in 2024 which means i've had this chapter, specifically, rattling around in my brain like a ball bearing for a FULL YEAR. anyway it's free space day xx 💖 archiveofourown.org/works/614230...

10 random things that you like: My kids laughing so hard they cry Falling down a research rabbithole Sunny days with scattered clouds Ladybugs Strawberry matcha lattes Fun dangly earrings A brand new ball of yarn Finding that one perfect song Travelling, anywhere Food that tastes just right

Oh god 🫠 Holly is the absolute GOAT of this 😍 Also this is @serpentanddahlia.bsky.social's Dr Ed from If Y'all Having a Bad Day up and downnnn archiveofourown.org/works/651922...

Yep, turns out sharks and mermaids are definitely compatible in the end- the diving boys really won at science this Halloween 😌 #OFMDNSFW #OFMDfanart

I've had a tonne of driving to do this week and I've been relistening to this myself- enjoying it every bit as much as the first time! It's truly such an impressive work of narration, great effects, and blending background sounds subtly to set the scene (but there is a no-FX version available, too!)

Diving boys Halloween thoughts earlier- Stede doing his last circuit of the closed aquatic centre for the night, pausing at the door to the diving pool because the whole thing is glowing an eerie blue for some reason. Also, there’s— steam? coming off it. Is that some terrible chemical imbalance?

Truly such a brilliant work from @kninjaknitter.bsky.social 😍 Forever delighting in it (also the first time anyone EVER read my words out loud in over two decades of writing, and I'll never forget how that felt ❤️) archiveofourown.org/works/400594...

upon the erstwhile sea, an @ofmdbigbang.bsky.social fic with art by @mermaidinn.bsky.social "Stede had always seen the Door... Upon the lintel, in knife-carved letters, were the words: BE SURE." inspired by the Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire, rated M

Maybe some things, maybe a LOT of things are absolutely shit, but I got to have brunch with @wardrobespierre.bsky.social and his delightful husband and my delightful husband this morning, including this TOP tier strawberry matcha latte, and then I got my ears repierced, and a few things are good ❤️❤️

Lots of other people have already said it (and I love that), but shouting out everyone who feels a little invisible when these posts go around, whether you're a lurker or a cheerleader or because life has been lifeing and you've found yourself out of sight and out of mind ❤️

Anyway I'm just thinking about all the people who write, beta, make art, sew, knit, podfic, podcast, edit, cosplay, post, stream, write meta, create stuff, inspire others etc. And all the people who like, read, comment, share, collect, wear stuff, listen, watch, talk, cheer etc. Thank you ❤️

Here’s one more snake-lovin’ NZ firefighter, in case you needed her today! There’s a delightful fic by @clairegregoryau.bsky.social that goes along with this too! #OFMDfanart #OFMD

Full Fathom Five was a months-long real-time labour of love, with a writing process that my husband described as like sitting vigil by a lover's grave 😅 I turned up every day for 101 days and spun out a post-S2 story that I adore. archiveofourown.org/works/544047...

I think we may be cursed, actually 🙃 Brain injury survivor mum just had to be whisked off to the ER tonight after whacking her head again earlier in the week- a concussion rather than another bleed, thankfully, but I’m about to bubble wrap her going forward 🫠

HAPPY FIC CLUB CREATURE DAY FROM A BIG TOOTHY GUY My Ed/Stede Jaws AU is STARTING. HUGE THANKS to @catski22.bsky.social for the prompt and @fandomtrumpshate.bsky.social for all you do!! archiveofourown.org/works/730617... #ofmdfic

For #ficrecfriday, @petrichorca.bsky.social's A Gentleman's Pirate is one of my OG foundational favourite fics in fandom: archiveofourown.org/works/39699084 Which I just re-read because @dimplyowl.bsky.social wrote a PERFECT alternate ending that left me giddy: archiveofourown.org/works/72820971

ALL WEE CON FOLK: we have 7 people who paid for an online ticket on kickstarter but who haven't claimed their tickets yet. If you don't claim your ticket, we CANNOT send you the links for the panels! We sent out redemption codes to all kickstarter supporters. 🧵 #theweecon

In case you're not sure how to deal with spam comments on your works on A03. Thank you @savernake.bsky.social !

Not new, but last year I wrote an entire insane strangers-to-lovers fic about somnophilia in the style of a scientific study, if you're into that sort of thing. They had to test just about every possibility (it's just good science, of course). archiveofourown.org/works/607750...

oh right, it is #WIPWednesday. apropos overalls 👀 not pictured here: live stede reaction (but i bet you can imagine) cooking with @clairegregoryau.bsky.social 😌

Ed's on a mission to drive Stede absolutely insane with these overalls and he's certainly succeeding at it 😌 Our 1950s Italian writing retreat mystery is not going to be part of the Big Bang anymore but we continue to cook hard and look forward to sharing it with you! #wipwednesday #OFMDnsfw

Here's the news, I'm leaving*. I'm a fisherman now**. *Stepping down from the Fic Club team **Finishing this fucking PhD before it kills me Okay but in all seriousness- I announced this morning that I'm leaving the Fic Club team because of <gestures at all the flames> my insane life 👇

Life is just so relentlessly tough for so many of us lately- seeing a lot of people grieving losses, and I wanted to share this website that helped me survive after my dad died. It felt like anytime I was losing my mind they had something to say that I needed to hear ❤️ whatsyourgrief.com/blog/

If you like to be turned on and then emotionally murdered with increasing intensity these chapters really have everything 😌 (/pos)

I have in fact written a bit of the vacuum bondage fic already- revisiting my Tie Me Up boys for it 👀 And planning some Garlic Soup for stuck in a wall if I can get it together 👀👀

i was playing around with gradient map layers in PS and couldn't decide which one i liked best, so you get them all 😌 #ofmdnsfw #ofmdfanart

I've finally had a chance to listen to this and I continue to bow down to Boy's stellar recording talent 😍 Particularly obsessed with the hold music and the insanely perfect timing of lining up the do-do-do-dooing??? Absolutely magic 😂 The Hello Kitty on the image! It's so good- thank you, Boy!

Ed gets to appreciate ✨that outfit✨ today as a treat! #OFMDfanart #OFMD

Painfully real 🫠 My husband is listed first on the school contact list because I can’t answer my phone at work and he’s half as far away. Guess who they call, every time? They left Middle Kid in the sick bay for three hours one day because when they couldn’t get me they didn’t call his dad at all 🙄

The podfic of Hold Please by @clairegregoryau.bsky.social. Ed's boring call to his insurance company leads to him falling for a recorded voice. Maybe he's not doing so great, and it took a kind stranger make him see that. Or, maybe he and Hold Guy were always destined to be together.

It's Monday, that means it's time for Episode 5 of Your Time Starts Now! Part 1 is now up! Stede gets some help with his outfits, Ed narrowly avoids spiralling, and Izzy thinks Bonnet's done something to the rest of the cast members' brains. archiveofourown.org/works/706141... #OFMD #OFMDFic

Um. Here you go @dkbb.bsky.social 😅 archiveofourown.org/works/727839...

This is perfect 😂 I love a fic that has banter that feels like it came straight from the original source.

said it forever and i’ll say it again for you guys in the cheap seats, it’s cool to be nice. being a huge dork is punk rock in its own way. be the full sized candy bars house at halloween. return the shopping carts. pick up that little piece of trash on the sidewalk. it’s cool to be mister rogers.

now on ao3 too! archiveofourown.org/works/72712246 #ofmdfic #IdasOFMDfic

We are having a very 'the wall' conversation at the moment and figured we'd throw it open to wider input! So, poll time, and I wish I could do an actual poll here, but: did you previously realise there were two steps down to Stede's cabin on the Revenge in OFMD, or is this news to you?

Conversation w/ Mr C like… Me: I finally posted a new fic! Mr C: Ooh, which one? Me: None of the ones you’ve heard about! I had this insane call with the insurance company… Him: 🤨 Me: Just wait <Starts into ten minutes of details> Him, twenty seconds in: oh yeah no that absolutely had to be an AU

first day as a freelance knight ed goes to the nearest horse market because having a horse is sort of expected. he has never ridden before but figures that he's probably good at it. also, he can talk to animals, which might be a help. unfortunately his new horse is a stubborn, rotten bastard

Morning bump for these goofs! I really desperately needed the dopamine of people enjoying my writing again so I am enormously grateful to everyone who’s read them so far 😭❤️

She's here! The premature ejaculation fic you didn't know you needed in your life. Innkeepers era | Ed/Stede | Explicit | 8.5k words. Written for the "accidental bodily function" prompt. archiveofourown.org/works/72682556 #OFMDWhoopsWeekend #OFMDFic #OFMDnsfw

Sometimes you're struggling to write all the things you're supposed to, and then have to you call your insurance company, and you get the least hinged hold situation, and it demands to be written immediately. Lots in common with Yours in Every Way, but not epistolary and a different vibe! 🔗👇

The block/don't engage with US gov accounts advice goes for people outside the US too - they're trying to bait people into visa denials which can affect not just you but also people you interact with who might be at risk. Do not give them anything.

They desperately want you to fight back, so they can dunk on you. The more sincere your outrage the better they like it. Shun them, starve them out like a fire, save your energy for winnable battles & things of actual importance

It’s #FicRecFriday if we say it is, friends! This #OFMDRBB by @anneofavonlea11.bsky.social and @babykraken.bsky.social is so damn funny from start to finish. Zip belongs in the hall of fame for unhinged inanimate objects of OFMD fandom. Fringe Benefits, T, 7k archiveofourown.org/works/67955006

For #ficrecfriday, I've been loving @ramsaybaggins.bsky.social's Whumptober series! All short fics but all do a perfect job of setting a whumpy scene and bringing in all the emotions ❤️ archiveofourown.org/series/5227906

#FicRecFriday for me today will be my own - bc I'll be talking about The Long Gap in fic club this weekend!! 🥰💜 archiveofourown.org/works/580236...

Long haired Stede IS real and he CAN hurt you #ofmd #ofmdfanart #ourflagmeansdeath
