Request Post

[nielrian]

Class. I'd like to go around an ask everyone what solos they'd like to hear me perform at sectionals fics they'd like to hear me turn into podfic.

Because I can only read so much fanfic in the limited time that I have, I often feel like I must be missing some great ones! So if you wrote a fic that you'd love to hear podficced, or you'd like to

Comments

There's certain authors I'd love to hear you read. hedgerose if you decide you want something epic, one of rainjoy's work (she's done some short stuff if you're not up to the length of "Fix"), or anxioussquirrel. Anything you decide to do would be fabulous.

[nielrian]

Rainjoy's Tip/Tilt is one I'm seriously considering. All of her work is amazing and I've been unfortunately too busy with other projects to ask previously. But I adore her to pieces, so this is one I'm praying nobody else claims.

I was going to suggest rainjoy's awesome future 'verse "Unscripted" because the stuff about Kurt working in an all-male Shakespearean theatre group full of insanely dramatic people is GOLD, and I want to hear your interpretation of it LIKE BURNING. But I realized it's waaay too long for what you want to do right now. Still, maybe at some point when you have the time and energy.

As for more realistic suggestions:

I'd love it if you did lls_mutant's The Goggles Do Nothing. Finn and Kurt unwittingly walk in on their parents' "afternoon delight" in the kitchen and spend the rest of the day inflicting their shared trauma on all of their friends. ~8,000 words

Just One of the Girls by crackedaglet. Blaine finds out what a ND "girls night" is all about. ~6,500 words

and these ones by commen_sense (summaries by author):

blaine anderson is a picture whore; kurt/blaine, new directions, pg-13, ~4,200
the one wherein Kurt goes through his iphone photo gallery and Blaine Anderson is a picture whore who just cannot keep a straight face.

like late night burger ninjas; kurt/

Oh my god, I'd forgotten about commen_sense. I read those fics... gosh, AGES ago now and loved them. Thanks for the great recs!

OMG! A request thread?!?! I love you! I'm a long time fan and lurker, first time Nielrian-journal poster ;P But I've DL'ed pretty much everything you've recorded since stumbling across your versions of MF's Scholars and Gentlemen verse :D ALL THE LOVES

[nielrian]

Welcome, first time commenter~!

I did just laugh out loud actually, haha! After Oceans, anything longer than 40K makes me literally shake to imagine. Someone once asked me to record the entirety of "Dalton", so it's not the most insane thing I've been requested to record ;)

I have a not-so-secret love affair with Rainjoy's writing, and I've already requested to record one of her/his fics already, so anything of hers/his is always a possibility.

In the Haze has already been requested, to, so that one is on my list to check out.

"Someone once asked me to record the entirety of "Dalton", so it's not the most insane thing I've been requested to record ;)"

Oh Jesus - Dalton? Dang and here I was aiming for the pinnacle of insanity ;)

[nielrian]

...yeeeeep. I'm pretty sure I brayed like a donkey when I read that request. I think it's something like 380,000 words or something. Not to mention having about 500 characters. I'd make it about one chapter into that behemoth before you'd find me in a corner, curled up in the fetal position, shaking and crying.

I would like to suggest "Little Numbers" by iknowitainteasy. I love ALL(!!!!) of your podfics and even thought there is not _much_ to read as it is a text-fic, your voice could totally make it work as a podfic. However you decide, take a look and read it, it will be worth your while!

[nielrian]

This fic isn't completed, is it? If so, does it have a final word count?

[bittersweetreid]

Oh, I'm sorry, you are right, this is still a WIP. But please keep it in mind for future projects, because it's really a lovely story.

[nielrian]

Oh, it's no problem. I'll keep an eye on it.

My first time doing anything in livejournal besides lurking and it is oddly intimidating (also I just posted this before I was finished writing everything, so my first time kinda failed).

Anyway, I wanted to suggest Vows by imaginentertain:

Literal Liminality by idoltina

http://idoltina.livejournal.com/45798.html

and anything by rainjoyswriting

there are actually a million fics I would love for you to do because I love all your podfics but they are all really long and based on what you said in the other of the comments you aren't ready to start a big project yet, so I will refrain from asking.

[nielrian]

Welcome! Don't be intimidated! I'm super nice, I promise ;)

First of all, thank you so much for the compliment!

Rainjoy's Tip/Tilt is definitely happening, so I'm excited about that. I received permission a few days ago from the author and have started what I like to call 'pre-production' on that.

I haven't read any of the others, but I'll for sure put them on my list! I love love love getting recommendations. Even if I can't or am unable to podfic them, I still get a great reading experience :)
