Got any Follow Friday-related posts to share this week? Comment here with the link(s).

Here's the plan: every Friday, let's recommend some people and/or communities to follow on Dreamwidth. That's it. No complicated rules, no "pass this on to 7.328 friends or your cat will die".

The new theme over at summerofthe69 is Monsterfucker 69: Humans aren't the only ones who like going down. Meanwhile, Greater Than 69 is open until Sunday, at which point the next theme, Sloppy Seconds 69, will open.

I also wrote and posted a little something myself for Monsterfucker 69: Shark Boys Are Not Always Smooth (AO3 link, archive locked; also publicly available here on Dreamwidth). If you want to know what I came up with the Mershark Fucking 101 post for, this is it!


On a more Safe For Work note, moodthemeinayear has started Part 5, and with it comes the next chance to do a Minimal Mood Theme along with the community! If you want to make a custom mood theme but don't want to go for a whole year, then a Minimal Mood Theme might be more your style. Come check it out!

I still love that story, and the mershark concept.

Mood Theme in a Year is such a great idea too. The rat ones are so fun. :D

🥰 I am so glad! I really am going to get around to writing their backstory, hopefully sooner rather than later, but I need to decide if I want to also write another Sot69 fic as well. Only so much time/motivation to write in a day, unfortunately.


The rats were a delight to make 🐭 If I didn't have my hands full with Sot69 right now, I'd be tempted to start another mood theme! As it is, I'm approaching the possibility of sticker sheets 👀

Maybe look at the themes and see if any more would fit this couple? Just because they're human/mershark doesn't necessarily mean they couldn't match some other parameter.

That might be a good project for next year. By the time this fest ends, it'll be September.

That's a great idea. They would also make charming buttons. The art might not stand up well in the usual 2 1/2" size but would be perfect for a 1" button.

I love those two goobers, but when it comes to what I want to write next for them, I really want to get into how they met and got together. (And maybe a couple of non-69 sex scenes as well; I know it probably seems like the other way around, but I started the fest more for love of the pun than love of the position 😅) I've also got three other potential plunnies that could work for the fest, two fandom and one original, and that's if I don't go in and fill one of the comment prompts I left myself.

Still, I don't want to lose momentum with Avery and Zeek, so I'll probably at minimum try to get their backstory properly outlined, and maybe start writing a bit of it here and there when I get a chance. I also wanted to do two items for this year's Sot69 proper, and I've finished those, so I could put the other plunnies on the back burner for Amnesty or next year's fest, as well. Even if I do write another one, I'm only planning to write one more story at most before the fest ends. Still, I may see what other excuses I can find to write about those two 😉 Maybe do a little line art, as well.


Oh yeah, no, I'm definitely not planning to start another full mood theme this year. I might do a minimal mood theme, but only if the mood strikes.

Ooo, buttons would be great! Or magnets, those could be fun, too. In any case, the fandom rats are at the top of my list of candidates for sticker-ification ✌

They deserve a good beginning.

Go for it!

That's a good point.

A minimal set can be just 6-12 images, so yeah, that could work.

I am all on board with the magnet idea.
