shmaylorHello Dear Podficcer! I'm so excited about this exchange and to hear what you record for me!
UPDATED 11/27: Now with detail (minimal) for Andor, and bonus surprise fandom Wolf 359!
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 (like 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:
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 fic!
- 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
Andor
- Look, I haven't even been able to start watching yet, but I know I'm gonna love it
- Watch this space for updates if this is a fandom you want to make podfic for
- Update 11-27: GUHHHH I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO ADD. This show is so good I'm melting a little. I'm not into Dedra/Syril, but otherwise go ham
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
Severance
- I have no idea if there's even any good fic for this fandom. All I know is that I've just finished the show and my brain is screaming!?!
- THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS. Soft stories about Burt/Irving! What the fuck is up with Ms. Casey! Resolve that cliffhanger! Harmony is terrifying! Let's all contemplate the horror that is capitalism! Mark's sister is literally the only well-adjusted person on this show! WHY DO THE NUMBERS FEEL SCARY
Wolf 359
- This podcast. It was made for me. All of you are fired for not telling me about it sooner.
- Doug/Hera please please please please. I haven't read any fic yet because I still have about 10 episodes left to listen to, but I took the smallest peek in the fandom tag and I am SO STOKED that there are a significant number of fics for an AI/human relationship. (Romantic not platonic stories please and thank)
