And the fest is over!
I’m glad this at least gave some of you a laugh, and I’m very thankful for the entries we got!
Since there were no written entries, I decided to save my own written stuff for Izzy Bingo; I’m going to take the ao3 page down, close the carrd etc tomorrow ❄️☀️
This is the last fortnight of @izzmasinjuly.bsky.social and I’m going to start posting my own snippets soon!
Izzmas In July Challenge Four. Kiss the cook or sexy Santa.
🍗 CHALLENGE FOUR 🍗
Izzy’s in the kitchen and he’s working hard! Are you going to distract him with some foodie flirting or are you putting some floury handprints on his buns?
Digital illustration of Izzy looking grumpy standing in a striped sock and arms crossed over his chest in a sweatshirt that reads "Le tits now" (partially obscured). He has reindeer antlers on which are draped with multicolor Christmas lights, the excess cord pooling around his prosthetic leg. Large text above and below him reads "feliz navi-daddy"
Recycling an oldie for @izzmasinjuly.bsky.social #ofmdfanart #izzyhands
Delightful 💖 I love his blushing cheeks 😭
This @izzmasinjuly.bsky.social post is a little low effort but I'm determined to participate in *all* the challenges no matter how busy I get so🤷
It appears that Setde has gotten a little *too* into the eggnog and now he's texting his crush! Oh no!😬
Read the alt text at your own peril.
LMAO okay, this is too good 😂 he would 1000% type like this
Hear ye, hear ye, ‘tis time to unleash your most terrible puns
Izzmas in July challenge three: a holiday themed pickup line or a holiday themed sext.
☃️ CHALLENGE THREE☃️
Who’s going to jingle Izzy’s bells? It’s snow joke how cute he is.
Weave this prompt into a bingo card offering or tackle it on its own!
It’s a blindingly hot day here in the UK and only set to get hotter: make it steamy instead and join my winter holiday themed bingo ❄️☀️🥵💦

There’s a bingo for the month and a challenge per week-thank you for taking part! ❄️☀️
…unless you’d like to be on the naughty list. It’s a long list and he’s very thorough.
Don’t forget: the challenges are weekly and the bingo cards are running for the whole month. Get on Izzy’s nice list and pick a prompt…
This was yesterday's challenge but he's getting a trip to the office supply store for all his organizational needs. This is both sentimental for him & also sexy. Someone's using post-it notes as pasties on their nips & getting papor cuts in awkward places
It’s a challenge for the week!
Nothing says I love you like a high-volume stapler 😔💖
Izzmas In July Challenge Two. A sappy sentimental gift for Izzy, or a tacky sexy present for Izzy.
🍦 CHALLENGE TWO 🍦
It’s my birthday, and I’d like you to give Izzy a little treat
OMG 😭 You can participate any way you want and I’m thrilled you did, this is so funny 😂
Captain (and author!!!) Stede is interrupted in the middle of his serious work by an inconvenient Izzy. Will Stede manage to save the pages or will they have to be burned to keep his secret? Author Stede's masterpiece reads: Oh. Oh. Thought the dashing Captain Bonnet, wide-eyed and gasping as his meat-harpoon plunged valiantly into his First Mate’s long-guarded treasure trove. The conquest might have been dearly won —full of sharp words and sharper swordplay— but now, as his swollen sea serpent navigated these uncharted briny depths, wriggling past reefs of resistance and storms of sighs, the good captain felt, perhaps for the first time in all his life, that he truly...
@izzmasinjuly.bsky.social I'm not an author but your challenge was very inspiring!
Author Stede's deathless prose strikes again:
Happy Friday! This weekend I’m going to be watching some terrible/wonderful holiday romcoms to get me in the writing mood; do you have a favourite?
CHALLENGE ONE USE A COMMON/TROPE- ROMANCE NOVEL PHRASE or USE THE MOST RIDICULOUS GENITALIA-BASED EUPHEMISM YOU CAN THINK OF
THE FIRST CHALLENGE ❄️
Find a way to weave one of these into your work this week, and earl yourself a little bonus (the bonus is festive cheer, and possibly some unfestive smugness)

Two naughty people switching the nametags on everyone else's gifts! Confusion, insanity, and hilarity ensues.
Ooooh that’s a good one! So much opportunity for hijinks
For me it’s “everyone is pretending it’s winter”. I’m talking films that were clearly shot in summer, snow made out of soap flakes, visible sweat on people forced to wear scarves during a heatwave
Lo, July approaches and so does this funny little fic fest. Do you have a favourite holiday film trope? ❄️⛄️💖
