I got an email the other day that someone had left kudos on about 9 of my fics and I nearly cried

Blackbeard's Lesbian Earring @bbslezearring.bsky.social · 21h

lrt: the single greatest gift you can give a writer on ao3 is going through all their fics and reading them and kudos-ing them. Even if the fics are so old. No one has ever been upsettios about opening a long kudos email in the morning.

Not a season 3 trailer but absolutely the next best thing... an OFMD Film Fortnight teaser! I enjoyed hosting #OFMDTVAU Week so much that this time I'm kicking it up a notch with #OFMDFF and I hope to see you all get involved! More details to follow 😌

For full disclosure, I have used some books I have already read within the last year to fill in some prompts but then I will be filling up best I can with my current TBR

I am also do all 3 quotes per episode but I will fill the graphic in with the first book added (hopefully that makes sense 🤣)
