#ITPE Dear Podficcer letter!
If you're looking for a less verbose, easy list of fandoms and characters/'ships - scroll to the end! Otherwise, get ready for rambling about my favorite things. :)
First off, thank you SO MUCH for making a podfic for me, I am SO EXCITED OMG. Thank you thank you thank you and I cannot WAIT to see what you make! :D
I absolutely adore podfic of every stripe, so for my broad podfic technique likes/dislikes: I am pretty easy! I like music or no music, effects or no effects, unusual ways of recording things or straight up sitting down and reading a story with no frills. I love cold reads! I do LOTS of cold reads, and I adore commentary DURING THE READING. (Seriously - hate editing? DO ME A COLD READ I WILL LOVE IT!) I love hearing accents and voices but I don't need them to enjoy a story. I *do* absolutely love to hear enjoyment during a reading though, so if it isn't fun for you to read, please find something else. Don't try to force yourself to do something because it's one of my requested fandoms. ALSO - I love MANY fandoms, so if none of my fandom requests below really hit your buttons, then go on and find something somewhere else. I'd rather hear a story you love in a fandom I don't know than a story you hate in a fandom I love.
I do not have any general squicks or triggers. That said, I have a couple strong distastes, so on to the story likes/dislikes!
Story dislikes: Honestly, doing this first because it's short. Please no character bashing, scat, or mpreg. I don't love ABO unless there is a TON of worldbuilding around what it means to have a society like that. If you know an ABO fic like that, go for it! But if it's just straight up porn and nothing else, I'd rather not.
Story likes: As you might have noticed from my sign-up (do you get to see my sign-up? Well, I've outlined the fandoms below, so you'll see), I love team, found family, close platonic relationships and all the warm fuzzies that go with that. I do also love 'ship fic, from sweet gen ficlets to PWP and everything in between (fave is probably good story with porn or really good porn with feels). In general, considering the state of the world (and particularly the U.S., where I live), happy of any stripe (humor, fluff, hurt with lots of comfort) is absolutely adored. But I do also love dark - I think I'd particularly love it if there was some sort of ~ambiance around it to make it even creepier. So if your soul yearns for dark, hit me. I love that shit, and when else do you get requests for stuff like that? I love a redemption story, but those are usually super long, so no worries if you don't want to record for six weeks straight to do a novel. I love lots and lots of tropes, I'm a big fan of tentacles and robots and robot tentacles. I like college AUs and coffee shop AUs and weirdly specific day job AUs, I love canon vignettes and slice of life and fix-its (I adore fix-its) and I love pretty much any well written story of any length. A good short story is better than a bad novel any day.
Fandoms:
MCU: Tony & Peter friendship, Natasha & Clint friendship, platonic Science bros, Thor & Loki being bros, Thor & pretty much anyone being bros, Darcy, JARVIS (and Jarvis), Avengers team, Guardians of the Galaxy team (basically gen!Marvel?), Black Panther [This got edited in the actual signup to try and make things easier on the mods - but more detail below - my reading in Marvel is quite broad!]
Listen, I didn't list pairings because I don't have a Marvel OTP. I will read most things - if you've got a Stucky fic with lots and lots of great teaminess around them, that's cool! Tony/Pepper, Tony/Steve, Steve/Sam, Rocket/Groot, a zillion more pairings I've read and loved. I'm not terribly picky about 'ships except that the platonic relationships I listed are ones I'd prefer not to see ships of (can't do Tony/Peter, Natasha/Clint, Tony/Bruce, or Thor/Loki, sorry!) but in Marvel in particular, it's all about the varieties of team for me. Groot is my absolute fave, and I think in particular, infusing his lines would be a blast to read. There's even a great fic that's literally "I am Groot" all the way down, and MAN, wouldn't that be a blast to podfic? I love everything and everyone in Black Panther and would love nearly anything (or any non-incest ship) in that movie or with a strong Wakanda presence. I adore JARVIS and love fics from his POV or that feature him heavily. I can imagine there might be really interesting effects to be had here, if you're that type of podficcer.
CQL and MDZS (likes are the same, I know all the canon): OH. MY. GOD. I love this book/dongua/manhua/show and this fandom SO MUCH. Of course I love literally anything WangXian. I can take pre-WangXian relationships (I actually enjoy Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang fooling around but please no Jiang Cheng/Wei Wuxian (I don't know why it squicks me, it just does?)). I also can do WangXian potential threesomes (so far I've read with Wen Ning, Lan Xichen, and Jelly is trying to get me to read the Nie Mingjue one so I'll probably fall for that too), but I prefer to have strong WangXian as the core. Outside of that, I do read and enjoy other pairings, but mostly I prefer ones where the fics are more than a non-WangXian romance (i.e. I've read fascinating Wen Ning/Lan Xichen that's really made me go "hmmm" and I've read a bunch of Jiang Cheng/Lan Xichen fic that makes me go "eh" - not that it's poorly written, it's just that if I want romance, I kinda want WangXian). An interesting concept is totally enough for me to go with a non-WangXian pairing though, so if you find something cool, go for it, I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Non-'ship fic, I love all the characters (except Su She, Jin Zixun, and Yao-zongzhu, fuck those guys), so I would take gen/character study about any of them! That said, my faves in order (yes, what, I have an order): the junior quartet (and there's an order THERE too: Lan Sizhui, Lan Jingyi, Jin Ling, Ouyang Zizhen (sorry OZZ)), Wen Ning, Nie Huaisang, Wen Qing, Jiang Cheng (I adore adore adore Jiang Cheng exploration fic and fix-its for him and Wei Wuxian (including bonus megabitch!Lan Wangji is fun but optional)), Lan Xichen (though specific Twin Jades fic is higher up this list probably, I love the two of them being brothers), Jiang Yanli, Mianmian, Jin Zixuan. I've never been all that enamored with the Yi City arc, but I love Xue Yang in a weird sort of way (I've seen that actor in a few things, so it's probably transference), and I enjoy Song Lan, Xiao Xingchen and A'Qing, so go on if that's your thing. All stories A-OK here, I like canon or AUs, light, dark, funny, serious, whatever, I love it all. (Except Jiang Cheng/Lan Jingyi. Another squick, sorry Jiang Cheng! It's not that I don't want you to get laid! Just... not with your brother or a junior.)
CQL RPF: Okay, so BJYX (Wang Yibo/Xiao Zhan) is my main go to for this because there's just SO. MUCH. CONTENT. (Plus so many gorgeous pics of them for inspiration.) They are an OTP - I don't mind them having an open relationship, or a fic about them fooling around with other people, but, similar to WangXian, if they're involved, I kind of want my BJYX core. But! I love The Untamed Boys so I'd never turn down a story about Zheng Fanxing or Ji Li or Yu Bin or Cao Yuchen or really, you know, any of them. I do enjoy the heck out of all of them. It's getting late so I'm not waxing poetic here, but there are so many great stories, and I have no doubt you can find a good one.
Prince of Tennis (2019): Look, I just watched this and enjoyed the heck out of it. It was so fun! And it's a small fandom, but the main AO3 pairings really hit home with me, so Mu Siyang/Zhou Zhi and Chi Dayong/Tang Jiale are just absolutely great, but as always, it's about the teeeeeeam. There's not a lot of content for this, so I don't think it's a likely fandom, but I wanted to put it out there in case anyone was looking for another C drama to get into. :)
Guardian: Yeah, so like everyone, I watched this after I watched CQL three times and I needed something... else. I do enjoy the main pairing of Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan and the (to me, obvious) side pairing of Chu Shuzhi/Guo Changcheng, but again, for this one, I was caught up in TEAM. That is my go to for most things, honestly. I ADORE Da Qing, he is my fave for gen, but team fic focused on any of them is genius. Only one DNW here: please no Zhao Yunlan/Zhu Hong, the canon itself made me really uncomfortable, I couldn't take fic with it.
If none of this catches your fancy, I do have many long-loved fandoms including Stargate Atlantis, Supernatural, The Losers, Leverage, and many new ones including The Old Guard, The Good Place, ugh my brain is fried but I love so many things! My DW is mostly locked but I'm kisahawklin everywhere, and my tumblr and my AO3 bookmarks are a great place to get how I feel about any number of things. :) You can also ask jellyfishfire (Jellyp0dfish on Twitter) about what I might like as well as sneakily ask me questions.
And if you made it this far, YOU ARE A CHAMP. I'm really, really easy. Read me something you like. If you hate literally everything I've written there, then go on and just read me your fave story you've always wanted to take a crack at. Do something fun. I'm gonna be thrilled to listen, I guarantee. <3
TL;DR (i.e. the "just the facts, ma'am" list):
Marvel Cinematic Universe: Avengers team gen, Groot, Rocket/Groot, Tony & Peter friendship, Natasha & Clint friendship, Tony & Bruce friendship, Thor & Loki being bros, Darcy, JARVIS, Stucky, Steve/Tony, Tony/Pepper, Steve/Sam, Black Panther
CQL and MDZS: Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, Juniors (particularly Lan Sizhui), Wen Ning, Nie Huaisang, Wen Qing, Jiang Cheng, Lan Wangji & Lan Xichen gen, Jiang Cheng & Wei Wuxian gen
CQL RPF: Xiao Zhan/Wang Yibo, gen about the rest of the cast
Prince of Tennis (2019 C Drama): Chi Dayong/Tang Jiale, Mu Siyang/Zhou Zhi, gen about the entire team
Guardian (C Drama): Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, Chu Shuzhi/Guo Changcheng, Da Qing, gen about the entire team
