Hello Dear Podficcer! I'm so excited about this exchange and to hear what you record for me!
A Non-Exhaustive List of Things I Like:
- Fake married
- Secret married!
- Groundhog day/reincarnation (they keep meeting and/or dying over and over until they get it right)
- Emotional vulnerability is hard, but they're Trying Their Best
- Pining, oh dear god the pining
- Getting together
- Established relationship
- Origin stories and character studies
- Humor and banter
- Outsider POV
- Time travel
- I love canon divergence/altered canon/what-if stories, but not full-out AUs (coffeeshop, vampires, high school, etc etc).
- Fics with bombastically happy endings
- Gentle fics that quietly cup you in their palms and support you through the tough emotions and maybe it's not all okay at the end, but you feel like it probably could be okay eventually
- Fics that are so pretty and so poetic and also stab you in the chest just a little.
- Robots, robot/human relationships, robots developing emotions because we can't help but make them in our own image
Do not wants:
- pregnancy fic, kid fic, or de-aged fic
- curtain fic (I like fluff, but not when there isn't plot or character study or a little something else going on emotionally too)
- heavy secondhand embarrassment
- infidelity
- unrequited love
- Hazing. i.e. anything a person has to do when joining a group/organization that doesn't have a purpose beyond embarrassing, inconveniencing, shaming, or hurting them. The power dynamic of new person vs established group is what makes this bad for me. Teammates who have been together a long time pranking each other etc is fine.
Generally the maximum amount of violence I like in fic is proportional to the maximum amount of violence in a particular canon.
All ratings are welcomed. I'm not usually into PWPs for podfic, but sex scenes as part of a larger story are great!
My own work is generally very self indulgent and recorded for me, so my own podfics are a good indicator of what I like.
Fandom-specific interests, in no particular order:
Nancy Drew Video Games:
- This is my primary fandom right now, but it's not really a fic fandom, it's more of a 'tumblr nonsense posting and flailing about ND34' fandom, soooo there isn't much good fic to choose from but I wanted to put it on here anyway
- (I'm over at henrikvanderhussy.tumblr.com if you're interested in the tumblr nonsense posting)
- I'm not into Nancy/Scott Varnell, but I enjoy any other ship as well as gen fic!
- Because it's not a big fic fandom, non-traditional formats would be fabulous! Meta, notfic and oral notfic, speculation about Mystery of the Seven Keys, try and retell the plot of a game you don't remember well, etc, etc
- Seriously, I'd love anything :D
The Locked Tomb
- I LOVE NONA SO MUCH
- EVERYTHING about Cam and Pal and Paul (life is too short and love is too long ahhhhh)
- This series is great because you can have fic with fucky body horror or humor or moments that rip your heart out or ALL at the same time
- Our girl Gideon is so annoying when we're not in her POV. Bless, love that for her. Tell me about wtf her and Ianthe have been up to during Nona the Ninth
- Mercymorn is terrible and I love her.
- The implications of Jod wiping all of the pre-resurrection memories, gah!
- deep dives into any and all side characters
- literally, all of the side characters, I mean it
- Is there any fic about The Angel?? I would love to know more about The Angel
- truly, there are so many more things I could put down, don't feel restricted by this list. If it's a good fic, I'm going to be into it
- (definitely no modern/mundane AUs though)
Star Wars Rogue One
- For shipping, I'm only interested in Cassian/K2, but I'm also into gen with the whole crew!
- Pre-canon stories
- Fic that ends where the movie ends. Aka everyone dying, but it's hopeful and their sacrifice isn't in vain.
- Everybody lives AUs. Celebratory or dealing with the trauma of their experience are both great.
- No thank you to "some die, some live" or grief stories
- K2-focused fic about what are emotions, when is a robot a person, all of that messy philosophical stuff
- Stories about the in-between time from Andor to Rogue One
Thrilling Adventure Hour
- Beyond Belief is my favorite segment and I love Frank/Sadie SO MUCH.
- Captain Laserbeam or Sparks Nevada content would also be top tier
- For Sparks Nevada shipping, I'm fond of Croach/Sparks/Red and Sparks/Ginny
Hannibal
- Hannibal/Will and all that fucked up murder husbands stuff
- dubcon is totally fine in this fandom, and so is infidelity (sorry Molly! you're great!)
- Some of my favorite side characters are Freddie, Abigail, Beverly, and Chilton
Wolf 359
- This podcast. It was made for me.
- Doug/Hera please please please please. AI/human relationships are my EVERYTHING
- If you're going to do finale or post-finale, make it a fix-it fic <333
