I mainly talk about Our Flag Means Death. If that's your thing too, then welcome aboard 🫡 🏴‍☠️. I also try to write about OFMD, aka a bit of fan fiction, JeffsButtons, over on AO3. She/her, Gen Xer, still figuring things out.

A thread of words about OFMD by me... aka a bit of fan fiction.

Went to the bin and almost got mobbed by a load of seagulls. So yeah, that's how my morning is going.

Hey hey for #TakeTwoTuesday, how about something lighthearted with some very stupid, silly art by me? ☔️❤️

On ao3 too, of course: archiveofourown.org/works/70384186

(Will this one get a sequel this year? It’s one of my many languishing WIPs, after all)

For this #TakeTwoTuesday, can I please offer Something To Talk About.

I miss, miss, miss writing this one. Wish I could go back to last June and get the idea all over again.

Twelfth Night snuggles.
#ofmd #ofmdfanart
An illustration of Ed Teach and Stede Bonnet snuggling on a green velvet couch. Ed, in pale coloured demin jeans and a purple, off the shoulder mohair sweater is barefoot and curled up against Stede who is wearing an equally soft aqua coloured sweater and dark grey jersey knit pants. They've got their faces pressed together, gazes on each other's faces, arms wrapped around each other. In the background is a painting of a partial figure in black with a goatee. His face is cut off, obscuring his identity a bit, but we all know who he is and why wouldn't they have a painting of him in their home? A small tabletop lamp in the background adds some light to the room and there's more light coming in from off the canvas on the left.

I'm so tired 😫. Going to try and stay awake, though, because if I have a third night of less than 4 hours of sleep, I might start talking to the giant gingerbread man inflatable that's still across the road. At least, I think it is, unless I'm hallucinating?

Insomnia leads to some very strange places 🫣. Just going to read some OFMD fic to banish some of the other stuff until I fall asleep 😴 😀

This should actually be 156, 657 words now. Most of them make up Something To Talk About. Boy, do I miss writing that fic so much! Being lost in that little world.

Thanks again for the comments, kudos and encouragement I've been given this year ❤️. First time I've written in a long time.

I've published 146,545 words this year. Not too bad since I only started writing in Feb. All for #OFMD. I'm not sure how much fic I've read, but I've loved every word. Highlights for me are the interactions with people writing brings & @happydaiz.bsky.social recording the pod fic of Regarding Stede.

Ok now do AO3 Wrapped. 🤲🤲🤲

How much did you write this year—or read?
Is there an ao3 related memory that sticks out to you?
A favorite fic find, or a chapter you’re extra proud of?
Brag on yourself a little. For me. 💕

I used a sexy prompt generator and wrote a sweet little T-rated snuggling fic. Enjoy!

And of course Ed convinced himself that Jack was reaching out, that he actually wanted to spend some part of Christmas with Ed. Of course Ed was not surprised when he walked in on that, not really.

Ed and Stede (OFMD). Gut stabbed battle robed Stede in his auxiliary wardrobe admiring a pair of autumn vibe copper silk breeches. Ed in full leathers enjoying the view.

Forever thinking about Edward Teach's slutty little waist 😍
Edward Teach's slutty little waist. From behind, he's wearing black trousers and a chain 'belt'. He is naked from the waist up and showing his 'Trust No One' tattoo and his curves.
