Um, hello.

Sooo here’s the thing. I’m an Internet Old, but Tumblr came about when I was looking for and then starting my first Real Job™, so I never started one and I never figured out how this site worked. But now that I’m obsessed with OFMD and there’s so much amazing stuff on here, I’m gonna try. Don’t laugh at me if I’m dumb about it!

Update: I’m still Tumblr dumb but I wrote a fic I’m proud of (fluffy gentlebeard sport fencing modern AU) so I’m linking it here:

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Update to my update: that fic linked above spawned a whole ongoing series! AND I have another ongoing series: The Bug Boys, a modern AU about bug nerd Ed and YouTuber Stede. https://archiveofourown.org/series/3539551
