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: If you’ll have me by Mthestan: https://archiveofourown.org/works/46658053 ‘Five ways Izzy could have given away The Ring and one way we're deciding he actually did’ by little_fingies and rimbaudofficial https://archiveofourown.org/works/55165975 By the way, if you ever want to narrate something for the Our Flag Means Fanfiction Podcast, get the author’s permission first, then record anything under 60 minutes and sent it to [email protected].
