    Ring Lore Fics Rec'd:

  • It’s been the week of weeks here on the Our Flag Means Fanfiction Podcast. We dropped the Fandom Lore episode last Monday and it exceeded all expectations as far as listener interest. 

    On this week’s Epitizer, I’m reading two fics related to the new lore reveal about Izzy’s ring. ‘If You’ll Have Me’ by Mthestan asks “What if Izzy wears the ring at his neck not because it's something he received but because it is a constant offering, a perpetual proposal, a silent question he asks every time Ed looks his way?”

    The next fic, ‘Five ways Izzy could have given away The Ring and one way we're deciding he actually did’ by little_fingies and rimbaudofficial is a Mature rating and described as humor with light feelings. 

    Be sure to give them both kudos and comments:

  • Izzy Canyon? Lubeasacrew? The WALL... Our Flag Means Death has generated an unprecedented amount of fandom lore. (We definitely couldn't cover it all in this episode, so there will be a part 2 at some point). Consider this the beginning of "An Oral History of OFMD Fandom Lore."

    We also drop some real, canon, Izzy lore this week—approved by the legendary Con O'Neill himself!

    Ringa Sunn is back on the pod, along with newcomers Chloe and Neil (anneiled on AO3). Also returning: co-hosts Lacey Bond (Joy.Goblin), Carly Delso-Saavedra (WGA_fandomLove on Twitter and fangirlfoto on Instagram) and Carly Heath (Yayvid_Jenkins on AO3).

  • On this week’s Epitizer, I’m narrating my most popular fic. It’s light. It’s fluffy. This is 'Whittle Me This' which is about Ed’s attempt to make things up to Lucius. Whittling doesn’t work. He tries other things. It eventually leads to them being attacked by the English Navy
. Izzy is alive through this whole thing. I imagine this as taking place in Season 3 after Izzy has crawled out of the grave and Stede/Ed have reunited with the Revenge.

    if you’d like to narrate a fic for an upcoming epitizer, do that! Get the author’s permission first and make sure the run time is less than 60 minutes. Then send the audiofile to [email protected].

  • Fandom legend Ringa Sunn joins the pod this week!

    Friends, as you know, a few weeks ago David Jenkins said it was the end of the road for Our Flag Means Death. Real talk: where's everyone at with season 3? Do you think it still could happen someday or are you sitting with your acceptance shark?

    We discuss!

    Co-hosts Lacey Bond (Joy.Goblin), Carly Delso-Saavedra (WGA_fandomLove on Twitter and fangirlfoto on Instagram) and Carly Heath are also talking about the Steddy Hands ship this week! Stede-Ed-Izzy! Three people! In love! What kind of Gen-Z chaos is this?

    Girl (gender neutral), how are you? How are we? 

    This week we heard some bad news: David Jenkins said it's the end of the road for Our Flag Means Death, and season 3 of the show has failed to find a home.

    We talk about the latest update. (And we plan to double down on this podcast to celebrate the 30,000+ Our Flag fanfics that will keep our pirate heroes alive.)

    Co-hosts Kate (YaFilthyNerds), Lacey Bond (Joy.Goblin), Tanya Dickson, and Carly Heath discuss the gentleman pirate, Stede Bonnet, this week. It's an episode explicitly made for the Rhys Darby Faction!

    Some fics mentioned include:

  • We’re doing something new on the pod! Our main podcast episodes are still bi-weekly but on the off-weeks, we’ll have recorded excerpts of our favorite fics!

    These are short episodes
 mini-sodes, tiny pods if you will
 Epitizers.

    How are these fics chosen? Really, truly, there’s no gate keeping on here. If you find a fic and you love it enough to record yourself narrating it and then get the author’s permission to send it in.

    So. In short. if you wanna record something for us! Go right ahead! Keep it under 30 min. Get the author’s permission – that’s important – then send it to me at [email protected] and I’ll put it up as an epitizer. 

    This week, Kate, known as YaFilthyNerds on Insta/Twitter/and AO3 has chosen: 'like a flower in bloom, how the ink flows over your skin' by ChangeTheCircumstances 

    It’s a tattoo slash flower shop modern AU and it’s incredibly well written. Great dynamics between Stede, Lucius and Oluwande. Some tags that may get you interested: "Lucius is the voice of reason and the relationship advice king" and "Slow Burn because they won't tell the other even though they practically fell in love at first sight."

  • While there may not be many fics about Prince Ricky Banes (played by Erroll Shand) in the Our Flag Means Death fandom, this episode is packed with so many theories, characterizations, and plot ideas that we're pretty sure AO3 will soon be flooded with Ricky fics after this podcast airs. Inspiration abounds! And we share some of the most unhinged ideas of all time.

    The co-hosts this week are Lacey Bond (@joy.goblin on Instagram), host of the Temple of Geek Podcast; Kate, who is known as @yafilthynerds on Instagram, Twitter, and AO3; Amanda Lee who is @Solarpunkpirate and @prismhour on Twitter and Instagram; and, me, writer Carly Heath (Yayvid_jenkins on AO3) @carlylheath on Twitter and @carlylynheath on Instagram.

  • It was the shocker of the century! This week, prior to recording our first episode, we got the news that the wildly popular, hugely successful, and critically acclaimed Our Flag Means Death was allegedly canceled by Max. Of course, we believe in the power of turning poison into positivity, so we're going to keep on believing that Season 3 is happening (Because it will! We will make it happen!).

    We're also continuing with our podcast plans!

    This week, hosts Carly Heath (Yayvid_Jenkins on AO3), Carly Delso-Saavedra, Lacey Bond, and Katie (LoopyDangerFrog on AO3) talk about everyone's favorite grumpy First Mate—Israel "Izzy" Hands, played by the iconic Con O'Neill.

    We discuss why we love him, how we'd like to see him depicted in fics, and what we'd like to see done with him in season 3 (may all our delulu come trululu).
