A pinned thread for my OFMD fics (completed and WIPs), art, and recommendations feeds and lists!

Pinning any of these feeds to home (option at the top right of each feed) will let you access them easily, but this will stay pinned here too.

I'll be adding to this list and to the feeds over time.

I'm so sorry that you're going through this 🫂 Sending you lots of love- I'm glad that the words could help a bit.

(There is quite a bit of experience of me caregiving for my mum folded into the fabric of The Broken Lines, so I'm not surprised that it resonated at this time ❤️)

This chapter has a couple of my favourite bits I've read of anything, especially the heart-pounding ending- I had a great time recording it.

It's been WAY too long (I'm so sorry) but the podfic of Chapter 5 of @veeagainsttheday.bsky.social's brilliant Seabird is up now. This chapter is an epic three hours long and you can listen to the whole thing in one, or broken into six half-hour chunks. It's such a journey and so full of love 😍

Chapter 1 of the podfic for @veeagainsttheday.bsky.social's brilliant historical AU Seabird is up now!

An OFMD tale based on the wild true story of the Pacific Clipper, a flight that made the first (accidental) commercial circumnavigation of the world in 1941.

An older map of the world in muted colours centering South America, the Atlantic Ocean, and Africa, with a red line and tiny white planes tracing across the top third. The title Seabird is placed in large black letters in the bottom third. Across a bronze banner at the base the text reads, An AU-gust Air Adventure by VeeAgainst; Podfic by ClaireGregory

Oh my goodness 😭 This sounds awful, but also, I’m envisioning you just fully belly flopping with your arms out Superman-style and I’ve got to say, it sounds unintentionally badass of you 😌 I hope You’re sternum is okay! My runner husband has had a few major stacks and it’s so frustrating and scary.

I find it borderline impossible to do audio work with other people in the house so the kid home from school full time has uh not been helping that. But if we carry on the same way long-term I think I'll find some ways to make it happen. One chapter of Seabird left after this!

After nine weeks of one kid home from school and two weeks of school holidays for the others I've finally managed to finish my first editing run on the next (three-hour long!) podfic chapter of Seabird! Gotta do a few little edits on the second run, then split and upload it, but it's almost there.

Oh this is crazy 😭 I really hope you're able to get off the ground soon!

Just pinged her on Discord in case it reaches her there- I hope everything is okay!

My other one was a home-themed one that has Boorloo in colourful letters across the view from our botanical gardens here!

AH she’s BEAUTIFUL 😍😍😍😍

All my sympathy! It just feels relentless when you’ve got so many things on the list, too.

ClaireG 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈 @clairegregoryau.bsky.social · 2d

I made two, but I can see my ancient Roman historical one in there! ❤️

ClaireG 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈 @clairegregoryau.bsky.social · 2d

This looks so awesome 😍

Also I think maybe the first time anyone’s ever put art made by me on their wall, which is very cool 🥹

Ooooooooooh somehow I'd missed this! Bookmarked, rubbing my hands together in anticipation.

My exact struggle too 🫠🫠 BUT I finally got to do it on a small scale this year, and you’ll get there too one day- something will happen juuuust close enough to make it 🤞

This is genuinely all so much stuff and I know these specific feelings super well- ND kids + crowds + noises + logistics + timings to remember + personal physical stuff?? It’s a huge juggle, but especially for spicy brains ❤️ The main good thing about a week like that is when it’s over.

Golf clap for them, gold star sticker 🙄 I hate it when people refuse to understand that your stresses are your own and we all feel things validly within our very specific individual contexts.

WOOF this does not sound in any way helpful 🫠
