Our Flag Means Pining

a OFMD pining bang

[ofmpining]

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Our Flag Means Pining! This is a new bang fic/art challenge, with the main theme being pining. All ships welcome!

What the fuckery is this??

The Our Flag Means Pining Bang is exactly that: a big bang sort of challenge, focused on the amazing hit show Our Flag Means Death. Authors and artists both sign up; authors write a fic, and then the fic is claimed by an artist who will create artwork specifically for it. Fics must focus on the pining trope.

This Bang was started with the hopeful intention of increasing the number of OFMD fics on A03. As of the time of it’s creation, this is the amount of fics in each wordcount category (links lead to the relevant search pages):

15k-50k: 355 50k-75k: 17 75k-100k: 6 100k+: 3

Please excuse the mess, Lucius is cleaning.

You can join the bang Discord server here, but it is not required to participate.

Hi! I was thinking about signing up as an artist, but I've just read the schedule and realized there is less than a month to create the art, which seems really short to me. Is there a reason for that or is the schedule perhaps still adaptable to allow for at least a full month for artists to complete their art?

Hello!! Apologies for the late response, Tumblr is not always great with notifications. I did manage to finagle the schedule a bit to give artists more time while still trying to account for those that will be celebrating the holidays. I've already updated the schedule page! <3

Authors and artists will now have roughly three months to complete their story or art (not including pinch hit artists that step in to replace another artist that has stopped communicating with mods and/or their author). Hopefully this will make it easier on artists, especially if they also sign up as a writer and/or beta.
