#ITPE 2017 : DEAR PODFICER

Dear Podficer,

Well, goodness gracious, isn't this just a fine little predicament I've got myself into? I suppose I have no one to blame but myself, I mean, I've wanted to do this for ages and now I've thrown myself on the podfic bandwagon without any intention of getting off! So, this is my first ITPE, and I'm soon to be getting into podfic. I have some experience with vocal recording, but never in podfic form, but I'm looking forward to it!

All I can say is, to the person (people?) reading this — thank you so much! Honestly, I'm just so excited to finally be joining ITPE, and I will be happy with practically anything you could give me! Length is not an issue, I give you free reign with whatever you would like to do! Have fun with it, that's all I ask! Having said that, there are a few little squick things, just for you to keep in mind.

          TRIGGERS AND SQUICKS :

I don't have any particular triggers, that I know of, but there are certainly squicks.

EYE CENTRIC GORE, or EXCESS DETAILS OF BROKEN BONES : Please, don't give me this. Both of these stem from various instances of personal injury. I think we all know what we mean by excessive, like — broken bones or injuries are fine, but just don't ... go on about it, oh goodness. It just squicks me out.

CROSS-GEN INCEST : Inter-generational stuff is uh ... no thank you. I mean, if it's in the same gen, I'm pretty cooleo, but just not any of that father/mother/son/daughter stuff please. EDIT - so this actually it just depends on the pairing, I'm EXTREMELY selective - there is like ONE thing that I like (Herc/Chuck Hansen), but other than that, unless I miraculously come up with another pairing I like, usually it's a good thing to avoid.

If porn is to be a thing (which I mean go ahead if you want to I ain't gonna stop you), then my only squicks would be FISTING, BEASTIALITY (as in straight animal fucking. monsterfucking and chimera-esque fine), SCAT, and clear NON-CON. Dubious is okay, but if it's genuinely non? Then it's a non from me. Pretty much everything else is free game. If you come across something and you're not sure, then please don't hesitate to pop into my tumblr and ask me.

          THE A-OK STUFF :

I'm a terrible person, so angst is something I'm all over. It's not necessary by it's definitely something I enjoy. I'm cool with the fluff, the dark, the angst and the happy. But not the sappy. Or at least not too sappy. I'm a slut for amazing characterization, things that get you inside the head of the character. Introspective things, thoughtful things : the kind of things that make you think for ages after. Character studies are a jam. I'm always up for found family, as well. Fix-its are fantastic as well. Sad things? Oh my goodness, oh my GOODNESS. If you give me something sad, or melancholy, or tragic, something HEART WRENCHING, I will love you forever. Like I said, I'm a terrible person.

          WILLING TO RECEIVE PODFIC, AND PODFIC IN :

GUNDAM

• WING : Wing is my jimmy-jam, my boys need all of the love. I'm pretty much up for anything, but something either Duo-centric, or Quatre-centric would be fantastic. I ship all of the things. Something introspective on Relena would be amazing, because I've really grown to rather love her character over my rewatching, or on Sally because Sally is my babe. But I'm willing for anything from Wing, god damn, I love Wing.
• SEED/DESTINY : The one that started my Gundam journey (a little later than others, but my eternal favourite). It's difficult to find very solid fics for SEED, but if you could find something gen with a decent length and feeling, that'd be perfect. I ship Athrun/Kira, Athrun/Shinn, Kira/Lacus, Kira/Shinn, Lacus/Cagalli, Kira/Cagalli when they don't know they're siblings kill me, Miriallia/Dearka, Mwu/Murrue, Shinn/Stella, Yzak/Dearka. Also ... as I am an absolutely terrible person, if you could find something (anything) with Kira dealing with the aftermath of Flay Allster, I would love you forever.

DCU :

• COMICS (mainly), but the ANIMATED SERIES are also great. I will hands down give my body to the earth for some Batfamily gen, every and all members, but my Robins are my darlings. Cassandra-centric gen is also greatly appreciated. Honestly though, Alfred appreciation would be bomb.com. Like, I will row-boat my way over to wherever you are and kiss you. Villain-centric gen can be cool too, particularly with Riddler, or Catwoman. I'm also totally cool with anything Tim/Jay, Tim/Kon (don't get me started I blame this podfic community like 80% for this obsession), Dami/Colin, but also Dami/BB because DAN IS A PIECE OF SHIT, I BLAME YOU DAN — and Dick Grayson appreciation in any form, by like, anyone because that boy - wow. Jay/Roy/Kori, Jay/Roy, Jay/Dick is also greatly appreciated. But me, I adore gen between me boys. Idk, go for your life.

HAIKYUU!! :

• Just excuse me over here while I weep. Karasuno, Shiratorizawa or Aobajosai gen, give me team building fics, give me family. Suga-centric team love, or Ushijima not understanding social convention, but still building his team anyway. Also, volleyball angst. Absolutely anything. Tooru-centric? Will destroy me. I will erupt with happiness. His inner workings, his emotional control, his solid drive — how fierce he is, how hard he works — anything on that. Speaking of, Iwaoi and Ushioi are my mains, all the general Aobajosai team ships too. Karasuno, I mean give me Kagehina, but also Daisuga, Asanoya and Tsukiyama, but — Karasuno rare pairs !! I have to demand though, ONLY GEN UNLESS THEY'RE OVERAGE.

YOI :

• I love all the ships, I love all the things. But give me JJ love. Please. All the JJ ships, all the things. Just. Love him? In all of his trash glory? Please?

KINGSMAN (movies) :

• Kingsman is my shitznick. Need I say more? Epic missions, spy-friendos, Harry-feels, Eggsy-life centric stuff. Roxy being the incredible woman she is. Anything! I 100% am up for any ship as well, but Eggsy/Harry holds my heart. Get jinky with it I will go for anything. Don't worry about keeping it to their first movie either, I'm cooleo with spoilers, I've seen the movie already. But just go with your heart!

DISHONORED :

• Do the thing. The thing. Do it. Dishonored is my absolutely-not-guilty pleasure. The Outsider is my darling, anything introspective on him is good, shippy or not (Outsider/Corvo, but also Outsider/Daud, and I mean Teague also works). Dark things are fantastic, gritty things are perfect, but anything you can come up with is amazing. Jess/Corvo I mean. Do I need to say more? Actually Jess/Corvo/Daud also works if it's done right. Corvo/Daud ... don't even start with me I adore this ship, so much. It is my honey, and my bread. Anything introspective on Daud would be amazing as well. Whaler shenanigans are A+. Emily-centric observations about Corvo. Emily-centric dealing with the aftermath of 1 and 2. Emily-centric things. Emily-centric ANYTHING. Give me my daughter.

Thank you for reading all of this, it's an absolute mess. I really appreciate the whole ITPE thing, it's just such a gem. You guys are amazing! To the mods, and to anyone reading this, I'm totally cooleo to podfic nearly anything from any of these fandoms (i decided to keep the list small for my first year I could've added a heap more but I decided just to stay simple for my first time), no problem!

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart !
Lu.
