#ITPE Dear Podficcer 2013
Dear Podficcer,
Thank you :)
You are the best! I'm sure I'll love anything you make. I have all the stuff about fandoms and pairings at the bottom in easy to read lists so skip to that if you want. If you really just want to ignore most of this, please just go to my pinboard ( https://pinboard.in/u:opalsong ) and look for the [ extra:toPodfic ] (without the brackets) tag. All the stuff I mean to podfic is there. If you podfic something from that list I would be over the moon as that it is all stuff I want to podfic anyway. Don't feel like you need to though. There are many amazing fics out there that I haven't read, or that I didn't feel up to podficcing. Introduce me to something new if you want.
Speaking of new things, I'm going to give crossovers their own section. I love crossovers (and fusions) from the very bottom of my podfic-loving heart. If you have the perfect fic and one of the fandoms is on the list and the other is not; that is totally okay. Especially if you can link me to a primer or good wiki article. and Hey! you might just get me into a new fandom.
Actually, if you are willing to wade through my pinboard account you can get a good idea of what I like and the broad spectrum of fandoms I'm in (though, just because I have a fandom tag for it does not necessarily mean I'm in that fandom. See: love of crossovers). My rating system is weird, I know, but crocodile and whale are the highest. Also I have a [ extra:favorite ] tag (again, without the brackets) and that is exactly what it says, my favorite fics. Don't feel like you need to do this though. I just wanted to throw out the option in order to help you. Feel free to ignore this whole paragraph.
Triggers/Squicks
I have no triggers, well unless you count horrible second hand embarrassment…
Squicks: One of the only hardcore squicks I have is generation gap/huge age differences in pairings (included under this umbrella are things like student/teacher relationships, and parent/child incest). If you’re going to do porn; I’m also not a fan of humiliation, watersports, or non-con. (oh, also bestiality, considering I'm putting Teen Wolf as a fandom and those authors can write some weird stuff. Not that I don't love lots of it.) Other than that, I can’t really think of any things (off the top of my head) that will make me avoid a fic out of hand.
Things I Love
Crossovers. But I've been over that. I love people pushing norms (like genderswap, crossdressing, or an omega that acts like an alpha for example). Also people being pushing their boundaries or being pushed. Creature!fic (werewolfs, mermaids, sirens, moon spirits, someone being a magical creature) is amazing. I love kid!fic and people being awesome and soulbonding (and sentinel!aus) and people having to pretend to be in a relationship. If we're talking porn: I love the use of sex toys. Bondage and crossdessing are great, as is BDSM; however, all these come with the caveat of no humiliation which is sometimes hard to find. If you podfic me a fic with orgasm denial (with the same caveat) I will love you forever. Though, if you podfic me an awesome G rated gen fic I'll probably also hold you forever fondly in my heart too, so there is that.
Pairings
I've included my favorite pairings in brackets after the fandoms below. I like to think I'm easy going and willing to be convinced. I will eat it up with a spoon if you give me a crossover pairing. I'm also a fan of threesomes/moresomes/polyamory so if you want to go there I'll be right there with you.
On to the important stuff.
