HAPPY 100 FOLLOWERS!! Let’s stretch those brain muscles with a little AU generator 😉 Click the link and take a screenshot to get your inspiration and retweet this with a tweet-length (or longer, I’m not your mom) ficlet/headcanon/doodle. Let’s get weird!

#OFMDMaykeItCount

Time to get a prompt and write or draw a mini story (or a full one, that's your call!)
Go here and take a screenshot, then create something and put it (or a link) in a quote tweet!
(flashing gif warning)
#OFMDMotiMarch
It's the final Self-Promo Sunday, and today let's hype our PROUDEST achievements! Whether that's a particularly complex AU, a series you can't believe you finished, a scene you think is the best you've ever written—that's for you to decide!
QT with what you're proudest of!!!
JanuAUry is almost here, so let’s highlight some existing AUs!
✨Quote tweet with your favorite weird & unusual AU fics and art ✨
Not our typical settings—we love coffee shops/tattoo parlors/rock stars, but let’s share some out of the box ones!
👻🏄♂️🤖👨🌾🐉👨🚒🏹🦸🌊🧝💃🏻🎪🛩
Day 5: Self-Promo Sunday
Here at
@OFMDJanuAUry
we are STRONG BELIEVERS IN SELF-RECS. Don't apologize for hyping your own work!! Quote tweet with a link to your favorite thing you've made! Fic, art, merch, whatever; we want to see it!
#OFMDMotiMarch
GOOD MORNING FRIENDS (or afternoon, or evening...). What are we working on for
#WIPWednesday
? What are we even more determined to create now? Quote tweet with what you've got going on, JanuAUry or not!
HI ALL! This month is going to be a little more casual - we're going to have a theme every other day. Quote tweet with any recs, and feel free to add to the posts throughout the month!
Today's theme: FIRST DATES
Day 17: Friend Friday!
I think we need this a little early tonight!
Who are your forever follows, your most beloved mutuals who make your days brighter and your fandom more fun?? SHOUT THEM OUT!
#OFMDMotiMarch
A clarification, because I never want anyone to feel BAD because of my events: I picked 4000 hits/400 kudos because that’s the top 10% of OFMD fics by #’s. They’re wonderful—and get recs all the time! There are so many phenomenal stories that don’t hit the first search pages!
I know it can be hard as a fic author to think of our own AO3 stats like "4k is underloved? Shit, my fics barely get a thousand hits" or "I thought I was happy to get a hundred kudos, guess I suck." But try not fixate on that, ok? Who knows why some blow up more than others.
QUOTE TWEET WITH YOUR FAVORITE DEEP FILTH
Tender filth. Gender filth. Complex filth. A-spec filth. Emotional filth. Devotional filth. Smut with guts. Weird without fear.
LET’S SEE THOSE WORKS THAT DO MORE THAN ONE THING
WELCOME BACK TO
#OFMDJanuAUry
!!! Let’s visit some worlds and create new ones, and shove our favorites into so many situations!
🧑🍳🧜♂️🤖👩🎤👨🏫👽🐙🧑🚀🎅🧛🏃♂️💃🧖♂️
HAPPY 150 FOLLOWERS! Time for another prompt adventure!

3. create a ficlet/doodle/headcanon inspired by it (any setting, canon or AU!) & RT this!
Rules:
1. have fun
2. there are no rules
3. do what you want babes
Happy May 1!! Thanks everyone who wrote, drew, yelled, commented, shared, and more... you make these events happen with your creativity and enthusiasm :) Watch this space for what's next!
I’m getting fucking hammered tonight, and tomorrow I’m gonna write until my fingies wanna fall off. Ed meets porn star Stede? Hiya! Stede cheated on Mary with Ed? C’mon in! Witch Ed wants to fuck his werewolf boyfriend? Sure thing! There’s
@OFMDJanuAUry
happening, too!

On this dickfuck day, here's our ask: click the link above, read something you haven't, and leave a comment!
Next month....
Watch this space for prompts tomorrow!
Tropefest is a rec fest as well as a new works fest, so get those tropey delicious fics ready to hype!!
Day 12: Self-Promo Sunday

We're getting closer and closer, and with AO3 having a struggle day... let's do some BINGO CARDS!
Click the link, get a prompt card, and see if you can make a bingo with a ficlet... and see if it sparks something bigger!
Happy Wednesday, Fics that Stick day! Rec something that you can't get our of your head and tell us what it means to you. Do your best to pick something that hasn't been recced yet - feel free to reply to posts about things someone else has already called out!
Who's ready to share some recs??
The rules for
#OFMDTropeFest
are a little looser than the AU events: retweet the daily post with any relevant work!
Welcome to Day 1: Touch Starved/Outsider POV!
Surprise AUpril challenge!
We have over 130 fics in the AUpril AO3 collection:
Go click the “Random Items” button, read something by someone you don’t know, and leave it a comment! Then retweet this post and rec anything you find and love!
WELCOME BACK AU-PRIL-ERS! Who's ready for...
DAY 1: Bar, Circus, Buy Nothing Facebook Group
Retweet with new works that fit the prompt and reply with recs of existing fics!
#OFMDAUpril
Remember, this is a LOW STRESS event! If you can't do every day, that's fine! If you can only do one day, that's one more fic or art piece we wouldn't have otherwise! If you're late to finish/post, you're not in trouble!
There's no way to get a bad grade in JanuAUry 💙

QT and share a rec for a fic or piece of art that's under-loved - for fics, try and focus on things with fewer than 500 kudos!

Pick a random fic to try here:
