Graphic on black background with gold borders; top right text reads 'hybrid signal an OFMD monster zine'. Bottom left text reads waterofthemoon'. Center is a snippet of a fic that reads: Stede's driving too fast. It's late; the roads are dark out here, away from the city, closer to the water. The docks are somewhere around here, but all Stede cares to see is that endless black horizon speeding past him, waves crashing onto each other somewhere in the distance. If he were braver, maybe he'd join them.

Graphic on black background with gold borders; top right corner reads 'hybrid signal an OFMD monster zine'. Bottom left corner reads 'Jackeline Harkness'. Center contains a snippet of a fic reading: Like a vision from the stories that had fascinated him as a child, Stede saw him emerge from the ocean: big, solid torso, regal facial features, and cascading black and silver hair with a thick beard to match. He could have been mistaken for a gorgeous statue carved from shiny stone, but the pure rage that burned in his dark eyes made him look terrifyingly alive... as did the tentacles that his lower body melted into, the same tentacles that threatened to crush his boat as if it was made of tinfoil. Some dark corner of Stede’s mind suggested that maybe he should breathe. He couldn’t pay it much attention.

Center contains snippet from a fic reading: Blackbeard ropes himself a siren. He almost doesn’t realize what it is at first. After all, sirens are simply creatures of stories. They’re a lot like the Blackbeard legends, hyped up tales that have no substance behind them. But over time, he figures that’s what it has to be.
