@atomicpoet for your friend's interest, maybe point them to the many very successful gay and other LGBTQ+ themed romances and romcoms selling in #books world. We're getting a few movies and TV series with passionate followers too like #OFMD Our Flag Means Death
We still have over 10 days left in #OFMDFeb2024 and there's one other bingo I haven't started yet.
But then I realized... this is an event that's meant to shower fanartists and fanfic writers with love. Especially those who are hidden or underrated.
So... why don't we tweak the rules and do it together, as a crew?
If you're interested, I'll post the rules next.
For easy tracking/muting, I'll also use the hashtag #BingoAsACrew
You can share an #OFMDFic or #OFMDFanart related to one of the prompts. Fanfics need to have a maximum of 300 kudos. Fanart needs to have a maximum of 300 likes/notes. Bonus points if under 100!
Just as a reminder: there are two bingo boards to use through all the 29 days of #OFMDFeb2024 but I'm not the bingo police. Use them whenever and however you want!
You can share an #OFMDFic or any type of #OFMDFanart that you've created (either new or old), or one someone else has created that you think is underrated. I think "underrated" is relative, so let's say a maximum of 300 kudos for fics, 300 likes/notes for fanart, bonus points if under 100, AND a 10% of that if it's on Mastodon (max 30 boosts)
Just enjoy #OFMDFeb2024 whenever and however you want!

Not sure/can't remember if it's been shared here yet, but this is pretty cool! A thread and calendar for the next week with ideas for what we can do each day to #SaveOFMD!
#Save campaigns are fan-led digital efforts to reverse the cancellation of favorite TV series. They've been instrumental in bringing shows like "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and "Lucifer" back from the brink. The campaigns are getting more expensive and elaborate, but according to Paste magazine they are unlikely to work, and can be exploitative of fandoms. Here's their thoughtful feature on the subject.
Hab ich gerade anderthalb Stunden damit verbracht, Canva zu lernen, nur um ein extrem nischiges Meme über meine Lieblingsserie zu basteln? Möglich isses... 🤷♀️
Wollt ihr helfen, eine wunderbar queere Piraten-RomCom-Serie (das ist mal ein Kompositum! 😂) vor dem vorzeitigen Aus zu bewahren? 💖🏴☠️🏳️🌈

Buttons like a cat towards the vacuum cleaner. Izzy going "oh Duck stop it" while Buttons swipes at the vacuum before leaping around the room hissing and knocking over furniture to get away. Izzy now provides Buttons noise cancelling headphones & puts Finding Nemo on the tablet

I've just seen a tweet announcing #OFMDAroAceWeek
According to them, it will be "a week long fan event for creating and sharing fic and art that celebrates any and all identities under the asexual and aromantic umbrellas" and will run in January 2024 :aro_heart: :heartasexual:
I hope they'll join Mastodon soon, but have this in the meantime: https://x.com/ofmdaroaceweek/status/1730632856500924560 #OurFlagMeansDeath#OFMD
