I found the OFMD Discord server where they talk about fanfic and are worried about me reading their stuff. To them, I say... worry not, I used to write fanfic, and i'm a nerd, a D&Der, gamer and used to be a cosplayer. I get you more than you realise. Look! Here's me as Dredd

When I auditioned for #OFMD , I took a risk. I had a ton of scars from my cancer surgery on my stomach that I thought looked like cutlass scars, so I did my tape with an open shirt. My agent said "audition is awesome, don't do it again!" Partial nudity is a no-no. Lesson learned.

"What kind of fucking idiot runs a ship aground?" - Izzy Hands. Made funnier by the fact that IRL, Hands ran his ship 'Adventure' aground while trying to rescue Teach, who had run his ship 'Queen Anne's Revenge' aground too. They abandoned the 'Adventure' at Beaufort Inlet, NC.

David Crosby's shitty attitude towards a fan who took time to create a piece of fan art highlights a very real issue, that many people in similar positions as him don't care about hurting others. Don't let a decrepit voice like his stop you from sharing your authentic selves.

Audition done. Uploading to my manager to give me input, and then off to agent. This one is exciting. My agent is right, more industry people are hearing about me and this auditions is a direct result of all you wonderful folks following me and showing me the love. No joke!

May I say, this is just NOT the way to engage with people. Someone has taken their own personal time to create a picture of you, maybe because you (once) inspired them, and you shit on it?

OK, weird thing. I got called a 'Zaddy' at SDCC by one of the folks lined up for the HotD event. I had to go look that up. Also found out that Taika has been called that too, so I suppose I should own it. I'm not what i'd call fashionable... but that British accent tho' 😂

Monday morning. This week will prove to be interesting, as in "may you live in interesting times" sort of interesting. But I have no home internet, so I am carrying on writing some #OFMDfanfic which I will post on Ao3 on my account anonymously.
