An OFMD Spooky Season Event!

I had a lot of fun hosting my little Happiness Happens event in August, so I decided to do another cute one for October: Somethin' Witchy Afoot!

I've made a fluffy, spooky prompt generator for it!

And just like Happiness Happiness, this will be mega-low-key. Just post when you can in October - the entire point is to have fun and to cheer each other!

🎃🦇🌕💀

Cute prompt examples!

It’s pretty much Halloween, so… Enjoy some fluffy Gentlebeard pumpkin carving and reflections on getting through a darker season.

Halloween Sunset, 3k, Rated M

I'm at the part in Moving Pictures where there's a strange fog over Holy Wood, and I can't stop laughing because every time it's mentioned I think of Buttons waking up Stede by yelling "CAPTAIN! Avast ye! There's somethin' witchy afoot!" and "Never known a fog like this. It's abnormal *licks the air* Tastes abnormal, too."

What if the tentacles were not those of the Things from the Dungeon Dimensions, they were just Stede's prop kraken limbs after the crew of the Revenge somehow found themselves sailing the Circle Sea and decided to join in the theatre/clicks craze?

Rated: T 2800 words

Ed is a courier and has a crush on the sweet blonde in the law office he frequently delivers to. Lucius invites Ed to a Halloween party, and when Stede says he hopes Ed will come, there’s no way he’s going to miss it. He just has to make one quick stop beforehand.

“Of Monsters & Milkmen” by Quaintly Fig

Rated T

Ed & Stede meet at one of their favorite restaurants. On Halloween, Ed asks Stede to go to the carnival with him on a date. This is their Halloween date night, and it is very sweet 🧡🖤

This was written for the Our Flag Means Trick-or-Treat Halloween charity zine & the Somethin' Witchy Afoot event with the prompt:

🎃 Someone is at a carnival.

🎃 A costume & kissing are involved.

🎃 Story element: a first date
