[personal profile] shinysherlock and I teamed up for our first ever Pod-Together over the summer! We brainstormed a story together which Shiny wrote and I recorded with Signis and WhiteHaru37. It was an extremely fun project and I hope we can do a lot more collabing in the future :D Here is the AO3 post which has the full text, audio streaming, and audio download links.

Title: Wings

Length: words- 1691; audio- 17 minutes.

Rating: gen.

Summary: Kim Namjoon and Min Yoongi, young veterans of the Unification war, may have been on the losing side, but they’re not convinced it was the wrong one. Their new journey together begins with one first step–choosing a new ship, a new place to call home.

NAMJOON. That’s. A lot bigger than we talked about.
YOONGI. Well. The dream got bigger.

This story is set in the Firefly universe but you don’t necessarily need to know anything about Firefly to enjoy it; imagine the setting in the BTS MV for “ON” with a space travel component and you’ll be good to go!

Thank you so much to the [community profile] pod_together mods for all your hard work <3 This project was a joy to work on!

My second Pod-together piece was a Yuri on Ice/Star Wars crossover. Victor Nikiforov is a Jedi Knight and hero of the recent war. Yurio is his angry, resentful padawan, 0T4B3K a droid, Phichit a pilot, Chris the monarch of an underwater kingdom and Yuri is a Twi’lek ice-dancer from the planet Hasetsu.

This was a project rooted in memory, written and designed by [personal profile] opalsong. The podficcers were given a text; out of order, in 5 parts, over 5 weeks; and asked to read it one time and then later (without looking at the text again) record what they remembered. Each podfic is different and yet has similar threads. There are seven versions, which range in length from 7 minutes to over an hour. Each one is unique and experimental. Mine came in at 43 minutes, and I had a lot of fun adding music and sound effects to it. Each story has a different rating- mine is teen. You can find them all, plus the text and transcripts, here on AO3.

Other podficcers on the project: AirgiPodSLV, Godoflaundrybaskets, Mistbornhero, Superjinkyo, Sisi_rambles and Olive2read.

This was super fun and I hope to participate again next year! :D

Voiceteam 2020 ends tomorrow and it feels like the last day of summer camp. Since May first I have been in the most collaborative, friendly, creative, and wildly productive fandom space I have ever had the pleasure of participating in. Voiceteam divided nearly 100 podficcers and podfic fans into eight teams who collectively made around a thousand pieces of fanwork in just 4 weeks ranging from fanart, cosplay photos, filk, playlists, and podfics of all kinds. It challenged us to try things we had never done before, from new editing styles, to recording outside, to roping in non-podfic friends, to incorporating nonhuman noises. It encouraged us to work together both within our own team and across all teams. It rewarded us for leaving comments on each other’s work and generally just celebrating and loving everything that everyone was doing. I am so glad I got to be part of this, and I can’t wait to be part of it again! If you want to find out more about Voiceteam, check out the challenge on Twitter and here on Dreamwidth [community profile] voiceteam, or visit the Ao3 collection of all the teams work.

I had the pleasure of being part of Team Chartreuse, with these 12 other members: Kess, [personal profile] secretsofluftnarp, [personal profile] chantress, CompassRose, [personal profile] lunatique, [personal profile] justaphage, Bisexualshakespeare aka TheArcher, [personal profile] lunate8, Luninarie, Barbex, [personal profile] saffronbunbaker, and [personal profile] alixtii. It was an honor and a delight to get to play and make things with this team these past four weeks! I am so glad we already have plans for future collaborations :D

In addition to making twice as much podfic in the past month as what I usually produce in a full year, I also LISTENED to more podfic than I have in years. Here is a rec list of some of my favorite things, all projects in which at least one of my team members participated, some old stuff, some shiny new works from Voiceteam. Please enjoy! Read more... )

I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU SHOUT OUT to the mods, [personal profile] klb, [personal profile] cantarina, and [personal profile] forzandopod, who have made this whole month just wonderful. What a good idea, and what good timing. This has been the most fun I've had in fandom in a long time- maybe ever? I've moderated things in the past and I know that it is SO MUCH WORK- a thousand thank yous for doing such a good job, pouring your heart into it, and bringing a ton of joy to many many people. You all rock. I can't wait for Voiceteam 2021!!

Dear Podficcer,
I am excited that it's ITPE time again! This is my fifth year doing the Informal Twitter Podfic Exchange, it's the only fandom exchange I participate it and I love it so much. Here's a summary of my fandoms and ships:

-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 Morgana/Morgause. Or Morgana/Gwaine. Or Morgana/Leon. (Basically I just love Morgana, or any story which includes a wide secondary character cast.) For this fandom, I am happy with stories of any rating from PG to NC-17.

-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 would also be happy to receive any gen story set at Samwell! For this fandom, I'd prefer stories with rating from PG to PG-13.

-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 this year 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, but I'm honestly kind open to whatever! Sell me on it! For this fandom, I am happy with stories of any rating from PG to NC-17.

-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 PG and PG-13.

-Harry Potter, but I'm VERY PICKY about what I like, haha. For Harry Potter (just the 7 books please) I don't want any ship-centered stories, only stories focused on character building or world expansion. I like short stories which show how secondary characters witnessed events (things Harry maybe wasn't aware of, because he is oblivious). I also like stories set after the book series that are like tiny windows into what secondary characters are doing as adults. But no shippy stories- gen only, please, and nothing over a PG rating. I'm also not interested in the characters from Fantastic Beasts.

Things I like in fic in general:
I love stories that make me laugh.
Idiots-to-lovers or enemies-to-allies-to-friends-to-lovers trope.
"Can our love end the war?" trope.
Happy endings.
AUs.
Fake-to-real.
Cross-dressing.
Boys in lingerie.
Genderplay, genderqueer, nonbinary, trans and bisexual 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.

Things I'm not into:
Omega verse.
Pregnancy- male or female.
Character death.
Love triangles in which one person is doomed to be unhappy/alone/excluded.
Non-con or dub-con.
Serious BDSM.
Underage.
Excessive pain/torture/abuse.
Derogatory or demeaning language between lovers.

That is- everything I can think of right now. YAY! I can't wait to hear your podfic :D

I participated this year in the Awesome Ladies Podfic Anthology, a celebration of female characters in fandom which is in its NINTH YEAR. I have only participated one other time in the past (I think 2015?) but it's rad and you should check it out if you like podfic. You can find the collection here on AO3, or download the whole anthology here .

The Awesome Ladies Podfic Anthology IX podbook, (m4b format, 64 kbps 273 mb, 9:27:12), with chapter stops for individual podfics. That link is to a mod post, which also has links for all of the individual contributors and a spreadsheet of all the stories recorded :D

Annually participating in the Informal Twitter Podfic Exchange ( ITPE) has been a joy and a delight these past few years. It's the only fandom gift exchange I've done more than once, and the only one I still do as my fandom participation has waned. The masterlists of new podfic created this year are up and they are a treasure trove. Find the main gifts here and the treats here .

I logged out of tumblr for 24 hours during the recent boycott, and it left me with a lot of time to think about what I would miss most if my blog was gone by the time I tried to log back in. One thing that kept coming to me was the great pieces about fandom history that I often see floating around on my dash. This article is a good example (and also a very heart-warming read about inter-generational fandom friendships):

A 50-year Trekkie bestows Star Trek history upon the next generation: How fandom and fanfiction sparked the galaxy’s most controversial romance By Alissa Smith (@AlissaS1701 on twitter)

It's a bit long but give it a read if you are in the mood, it's worth it.

I might start using this blog again more. We'll see? Anyway, if you followed me on tumblr and looked me up here, please do comment, I'd love to add you back.

-The Adventure Zone podcast. I am caught up through the end of the Bureau of Balance arc. I love all of the canon ships of the show, particularly Taako/Kravitz and Carey/Killian. I'd be delighted with a missing-scene fic, a short head-cannon story, or a story set after the events of the final episode. For this fandom I would prefer a story rated between PG and PG-13. Extra bonus love if it includes dumb jokes and sound effects <3

ITPE 2016

averytree: (Default)
Dear Podficcer,
I am so excited to be doing this for a second year! Here's a summary of my fandoms and ships:

-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 Morgana/Morgause. Or Morgana/Gwaine. Or Morgana/Leon. (Basically I just love Morgana.)

-Check Please! I adore this comic and this world and all the characters. My main ship is actually 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 would also be happy to receive any gen story set at Samwell!

-The Adventure Zone podcast. I JUST found this and am currently caught up only through episode 30, but will definitely have it finished by Candlemas. I don't ship anyone in particular but I would be delighted with a story about ANY ship, either serious or crack, or a gen story. Extra bonus love if it includes dumb jokes and sound effects <3

-Carry On by Rainbow Rowell. Obviously I ship Simon/Baz. I have actually never read fic for this pairing so anything you pick would be new to me!

-Captive Prince by CS Pacat. Hell yes Damen/Laurent. I'm especially interested in stories that fill gaps in the books, or take place shortly after the end of the books.

-The Raven Cycle. The only ship I'm interested in here is Adam/Ronan (though it's fine if Blue and Gansey are a couple in the background, I just don't read hetfic). Bonus love if it has a happy ending!

-I read a lot and love many book series. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, The Vorkosigan Series by Lois McMaster Bujold, The Montmaray Series by Michelle Cooper (Toby/Simon), all of Tamora Pierce's books, Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein, and also The Winter Prince by Elizabeth Wein (which is practically a Merlin AU already...) I would enjoy any stories based on these books that fit in with the tone of the books.

Things I like in fic in general:
I love stories that make me laugh.
I will pretty much always take humor over angst.
Happy endings.
AUs.
Fake-to-real.
Cross-dressing.
Boys in lingerie.
Genderplay, genderqueer, trans and bisexual characters.
Side-ships. I love it when I've got two teams to root for!
I like Teen and Mature ratings more than Gen but also more than NC-17.
OT3, OT4, etc only if EVERYONE IS VERY HAPPY and there is no jealousy.

Things I'm not into:
Omega verse.
MPreg.
Character death.
Love triangles in which one person is doomed to be unhappy/alone/excluded.
Non-con or dub-con.
Serious BDSM (exception: Captive Prince).
Underage.
Excessive pain/torture/abuse.
Derogatory or demeaning language between lovers.

That is- everything I can think of right now. YAY! I can't wait to hear your podfic :D

ITPE 2015

averytree: (Default)
Dear podficcer,
I have been a podfic listener for years, but am very very new to making podfic, so you probably do not know me! This is my first year doing ITPE and I am very excited.

Here's a summary of my fandoms and ships:

-One Direction :DDD I've been completely sucked in for the past year (since release of Four). My main ship is Ziam, but I also love Larry, Lilo and Zarry. I cannot see Niall as a sexual being, he is too much of a dandelion, so I do not want him shipped with anyone, but obviously I enjoy him as a side character. For stories, I mostly prefer AUs to canon-compliant. This is the fandom in which I read the kinkiest stories. I dip into dom/sub and bondage with these boys, which I do not read for any other fandom.

-Merlin! I know the show ended ages ago, but Merlin/Arthur is the OTP of my heart. They are my boys forever. I also much prefer modern AUs to stories set in the show, especially collge 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 Morgana/Morgause. Or Morgana/Gwaine. Or Morgana/Leon. (Basically I just love Morgana.)

-Sherlock BBC. This one is a bit trickier because I am a huge Sherlock fan and do ship John/Sherlock but I only like really lighthearted stories. Because of this, I actually have not read very much fic, as so much of it is very dark. So I ship them, but only if it's silly, like in the "Two Coffees, One Black, One with Sugar Please" series.

-J2. Basically J2 is for porn and pining. I love AUs of any kind.

-Avengers. I love the Avengers as characters and have seen almost all of the movies, plus read Matt Fraction's Hawkeye series, but I don't have a strong ship preference, so have only read a few mostly plot or team focused stories here and there. I would probably enjoy any story that focused more on plot with only a light dash of shippiness... Tony/Steve, Steve/Bucky, Tony/Bruce, Bruce/Natasha, Natasha/Clint... I'm pretty open.

-I read a lot and love many book series. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, The Vorkosigan Series by Lois McMaster Bujold, Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell (Simon/Baz), The Montmaray Series by Michelle Cooper (Toby/Simon), The Raven Cycle, Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein, and also The Winter Prince by Elizabeth Wein (which is practically a Merlin AU already...) I would enjoy stories based on these books that fit in with the tone of the books.

Things I like in fic in general:
I will pretty much always take humor over angst.
Happy endings.
AUs.
Fake-to-real.
Cross-dressing.
Boys in lingerie.
Genderplay, genderqueer, trans and bisexual characters.
Side-ships. I love it when I've got two teams to root for!
I like Teen and Mature ratings more than Gen but also more than NC-17.
OT3, OT4, etc only if EVERYONE IS VERY HAPPY and there is no jealousy.

Things I'm not really into:
Omega verse.
MPreg.
Character death.
Love triangles in which one person is doomed to be unhappy/alone/excluded.
Non-con or dub-con (except sometimes in J2).
Serious BDSM (light BDSM in 1D is good though).
Underage.
Excessive pain/torture/abuse.
Derogatory or demeaning language between lovers.

That is- everything I can think of right now. YAY! I can't wait to hear your podfic :D
