ITPE Dear Podficcer 2021
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
averytreeHello podficcer! I'm so excited to be doing this exchange again, my 7th year! Here are all the fandoms and ships I'm most interested in:
-EXO (Kpop RPF): My main ships are Kai/Sehun or Kai/DO. I like them both equally. I'd be happy with a story rated anywhere between gen-explicit. I prefer AUs over "canon compliant" (idolverse) stories, and I especially like college AUs or AUs were they have interesting jobs.
-BTS (Kpop RPF): My favorite ships are RM/Jin, or RM/Yoongi, or Yoongi/Jin. I'd take a RM/Jin/Yoongi OT3 only if they are all very happy with the situation- no jealous/cheating etc please. I'd be happy with a story rated anywhere between gen-explicit. For any of these pairings, no matter the POV, I like both pining/"there's no way he likes me" stories but also already-established domestic relationship fluff.
-Monsta X (Kpop RPF): My favorite ship is Kihyun/IM. I like stories were Kihyun is very bossy and IM is very into it :D I'd be happy with a story rated anywhere between gen-explicit.
-Seventeen (Kpop RPF): I am newer to this group and still getting to know them so I'd honestly take any pairing. I've read and liked Jeonghan/Seungcheol, Jeonghan/Mingyu, Mingyu/Jihoon, and Seungkwan/Vernon and I would also probably like any story that has Seungkwan as a main character. For this fandom, I'd prefer stories with rating from gen to teen.
-Stray Kids (Kpop RPF): Also newer to them, but I adore Han/Lee Know. I'd be happy with a story rated anywhere between gen-explicit.
-Mamamoo (Kpop RPF): There aren't that many stories to chose from and I've probably looked at almost all the ones with BP already, but I really like gen stories or stories rated teen (specifically AUs) about Moonbyul, any ship or no ship.
Secondary fandoms:
-Merlin! I know the show ended ages ago, but Merlin/Arthur is the OTP of my heart. They are my boys forever. I much prefer modern AUs to stories set in the canon of the show, especially college AUs or ones where they have interesting jobs. Modern royalty stories make my heart melt with happiness <3 Also I like Morgana/Gwen as a side ship. Or Gwen/Lance. Or Morgana/Morgause. Or Morgana/Gwaine. Or Morgana/Leon. (Basically I just love Morgana, or any story which includes a wide secondary character cast.) I also love Gwen, and always enjoy character-study type stories which focus on her, whether romantic or not. For this fandom, I am happy with stories of any rating from gen to explicit.
-Check Please. I adore this comic and this world and all of the characters. My main ship is Ransom/Holster. I'm much less interested in fic about Jack and Bitty because I feel their story is being perfectly told in the comic. But there are so many side stories about what Hols and Rans could be doing when the camera is elsewhere :3 I'm equally happy with stories set in the canon of Samwell, or AUs. For this fandom, I'd prefer stories with rating from gen to teen.
-Transformers, specifically, stories set in Astolat's semi-AU world.... So okay, I actually know nothing about the canon of Transformers, any version. But I got completely sucked into Astolat's Transformers fic series and read all of it. I literally have to google what the characters look like because I have no idea, but I don't care. My main ship in Optimus Prime/Megatron, give me that good good enemies to lovers stuff. For this fandom, I am happy with stories of any rating from gen to explicit.
-Carry On/Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell. Obviously I ship Simon/Baz. I have read almost no fic in this fandom, so anything you pick would be new to me! I'd be interested in an AU or a story set in the canon world, either during the events of the books or after the end of the books. For this fandom I would prefer a story rated between gen and teen.
Things I like in fic in general:
I love stories that make me laugh.
Pranks, banter, shenanigans, ill-advised ideas (that turn out to be great ideas!)
Idiots-to-lovers or enemies-to-allies-to-friends-to-lovers trope.
"Can our love end the war?" trope.
Happy endings.
AUs in other canons- for example, Kpop group is now a Star Trek space crew.
Fake-to-real.
Cross-dressing/drag.
Boys in lingerie, girls in suits, nonbinary people finding their perfect look.
Genderplay/gender exploration/gender fluidity.
Bisexual characters, pansexual characters, trans characters, aro and ace characters.
Side-ships. I love it when I've got two teams to root for!
OT3, OT4, etc only if EVERYONE IS VERY HAPPY and there is no jealousy.
I like when it's obvious the fic writer has a ton of niche knowledge about something and decided to put it ALL into the story.
For Kpop RPF, I like when the characters are written as culturally Korean, and in my reading I try to prioritize stories set in Korea, or if they live in another country, it is explained why/how the whole Korean friend group ended up there.
Things I'm not into:
Omega verse.
Rule 63.
Pregnancy- male or female.
Characters parenting biological children.
Character death and/or very serious medical emergencies.
Love triangles in which one person is doomed to be unhappy/alone/excluded.
Non-con or dub-con.
Serious BDSM.
Underage.
Apocalypses AUs, especially zombies.
Excessive pain/torture/abuse.
Derogatory or demeaning language between lovers.
A bit more clarification for the gender stuff- if a character's gender is going to be changed from the canon, I want that character to be written as trans or nonbinary or agender and for the story to explore that. I don't want a Rule 63 story that's just "with no interrogation, this character is just a different gender now". That is- everything I can think of right now. YAY! I can't wait to hear your podfic :D
To the MODS: I sign up additionally to give Buzzfeed Unsolved RPF (Ryan/Shane), Ateez (Kpop RPF), NCT (Kpop RPF), and Luke/Din from the Mandalorian. I'm averytree8 on twitter and averytree on tumblr and ao3.
