arkadyevnaDear Podficer,
It's been a whole year, and excitement for the season is mounting! It was this time last year that I threw myself bodily onto the podfic bandwagon, and it's been one of the best years of my fandom life. Before I get into this, I'd like to thank the podfic community for being so incredibly welcoming, and genuinely kind to me over my journey into this wacky, awesome little realm of the internet.
To the person (people?) reading this - thank you! I'm terribly excited to be participating in ITPE again, and I'm more than ready to throw myself into recording. Note that I'll literally be happy with anything, I will be so hype that you even bothered to make me anything, like? Wow. Thank you!! But! My only real request is that you have fun with what you do! Do that, and you'll have made my year \(^-^ )/.
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. Violence is absolutely definitely fine, though.
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. If you don't want to ask me directly (because ITPE secrecy), feel free to ask Opalsong, SharniRee, RottenAdel or CooperTucker on twitter, they'll likely know, or will ask me in some mysterious way so I don't catch on. I'm hella dense..
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.
But also, straight up porn is also a jam. Don't be afraid to go down that route, I mean - anyone who knows me will know I'm here for it. Adhere to the hard no's, and you should be pretty right with everything else.
TROPES :
I have found a few favourites over this year, recording (wow, have I got a lot of stuff coming out toward the end of this year). If there's anything in the realm of FOOD / PROFESSIONAL CHEF / COOKING, I am all over that. AU's surrounding the industry, comfort food, critics, etc. I am so down. The other would be anything regarding the FASHION INDUSTRY. Similar to the first trope, AU's within the industry - majority focused on fashion, but modelling is okay so long as it's done well. Devil Wears Prada AU's are one of my favourite things on the planet. Designer!AU's, etc. All those lovely things.
NOTE : regarding the following list, if the fandom is on the list, I am willing to record basically anything within that fandom, the following list is simply what I would like to receive. WILLING TO RECEIVE PODFIC, AND PODFIC IN :
GUNDAM
Thank you so much everyone, here’s to a fantastic ITPE season!

NOTE : regarding the following list, if the fandom is on the list, I am willing to record basically anything within that fandom, the following list is simply what I would like to receive. 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. Quatre is my boy, holy crapsicles. I ship all of the things, I mean go for your life really? Honestly tho I'd love some good 3x4, we need more of that. 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, they had more chemistry than she did with Athrun), 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.
- 00 : Anyone who knows me will tell you that 00 is my guilty pleasure series. I absolutely adore this one. (H)Allelujah Haptism is my boy, I literally will adore anything surrounding him, Alle-centric things would be perfect. But regardless, all of the members of Celestial Being deserve love. Graham Aker is my child, wow that boy is literally the dumbest shit on this planet, but I love him. Dylandy!centric things, TieriaxNot Sadness aka. One of my Favourite Ships. SetsunaxHappiness is literally in my Top 5 Loves Of All Time, that boy needs something good in his life. Neil/Tieria, Lyle/Anew, Saji/Louise, Neil/Alle (Also Halle), Alle/Halle (excuse me HI), and also - found family things, and Celestial Being studies.
- 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.
- EDIT : this ^ is exactly the same as last year, but I just need to add - give me basically ANYTHING Damian!centric and I will cry. I'm sorry, that boy needs so much more appreciation?
HAIKYUU!! :
- Just excuse me over here while I weep. Karasuno, Shiratorizawa or Aobajosai gen, give me team building fics, give me family. KageHina is my jam, give me these boys - I absolutely adore them. They make my little heart flutter. 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. After last year's beautiful gift, I have dived headfirst into an adoration of Shigeru Yahaba. ANYTHING YAHABA!CENTRIC IS APPRECIATED. 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 or something not hella hard.
- Viktor Nikiforov is a character who I relate to on an insane level. This Russian man is my long lost cousin, I would literally cry if I got ANYTHING Viktor!centric. Of course, give me the Ship (Viktuuri), but also - give me his CHILDHOOD. Give me development, character studies, give me exploration.
- 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?
- This is the big one that I can wax poetic about forever. Suzaku is one of my favourite characters of all time, I relate to him so heavily. Literally anything in this universe I will be happy with, it's all about that political intrigue and anime terrorist shenanigans (a trend on this list). Angst is huge in this series, and my love for Suzaku Kururugi In Pain is something that I cannot quench. Just ask me about it if you're not sure, however. CooperTucker knows my limits of Suzaku!Pain INTIMATELY. My ships for this series are immeasurable, Suzaku/Lelouch (wow look, it's the ship that owns my soul), Suzaku/Schneizel, Suzaku/Euphemia (cry with me, everyone), honestly Suzaku/Kallen because WOW, Suzaku/Gino, Gino/Lelouch, Lelouch/Shirley, Lelouch/C.C, Suzaku/Lelouch/C.C, Lloyd/Milly (god I love them - not even necessarily romantically, but gosh give me things about them - give me things about LLOYD), Lloyd/Cecile (WOWOW LOOK ITS MY OTHER MAIN S HIP), Schneizel/Kanon. All those lovely things.
- The things that you need to know is that Shikamaru Nara is my favourite character, the Nara clan are my favourite clan, and Team 10/Team Asuma are my favourite, and that anything surrounding them will make me happy. I have a soft spot for Neji, and I honestly Madara is one of the best Villains EVER. The Sannin have a special place in my heart, and anything surrounding Tsunade will literally make me sob. I adore Orochimaru, and Jiraiya's death cut me in half. Anything about them will make me happy. Feel free to go ham on basically any ships or pairings, I don't mind at all.
- Kingsman is my shitznick. Need I say more? Epic missions, spy-friendos, Harry-feels, Eggsy-life centric stuff. FICS ABOUT MERLIN!!! Roxy being the incredible woman she is. Anything! I 100% am up for any ship as well, but Eggsy/Harry holds my heart, oh and Harry/Merlin, Merlin/Eggsy and the KICKER - Merlin/Harry/Eggsy. Get jinky with it I will go for anything. Also, I absolutely loved? Golden Cricle? HECK YES TO THE AMERICAN BOYS.
- This movie ROCKED MY WORLD. Emily/Stephanie is just the best thing to happen since sliced bread. Murder!Mums, give me things about Emily! I know there isn't much yet written for this fandom, so basically anything that is good for it, that's totally cool.
- Anything Bunny!centric. I love that beautiful, fluffy Pooka. Jack/Bunny, antagonistic Bunny and Pitch, I love it. Also - worldbuilding! Things surrounding the guardians, AKA family fic. I love it. Also - PITCH STUDIES. Jack/Pitch is also a win when you do it right. Sandy and Bunny are my favourite guardians, so anything with them is a win.
- Talk to me for three seconds and you know that the Devil Wears Prada is on my list of must watch movies. Sue me, it's one of my favourites and the fandom is a thriving, beautiful thing. Absolutely ANYTHING Miranda!centric will make my heart sing, Mirandy is obviously my ship of choice but honestly Emandy is also fantastic? Nate needs to get his priorities straight, I'm sorry. There is a fantastic Harry Potter!AU by QuickYoke called An Argument of Witches - one of my favourite fic series, but honestly anything - go for your life.
- This series is so flippin' funny and heartwarming. I wish I had a Janet, everything surrounding Janet is so fairgame. Janet/Jason, Tahani/Eleanor, Eleanor/Chidi, but honestly - give me anything Jason!centric and I'll laugh my ass off.
- Will Somebody Please Save Will Graham Already? From his terrible aftershave. No honestly - Murder Husbands is my actual? God I love them. While the ship is life - one of the best things about Hannibal is the emotional and gritty mental torture of it all. Give me something with intrigue, and mystery - also cannibalism and hopefully featuring Will's Dogs, and I'll be happy! Will is my son.
- My ships are numerous. Basically everything. Cloud Strife and Genesis Rhapsodos are my two favourite characters, but Zack Fair holds a special place in my heart that will never be snuffed out. Sephiroth studies are FANTASTIC. Anything relating to Genesis is a win. Gen/Seph, Gen/Angeal, Cloud/Zack, Cloud/Seph, Cloud/Tifa, Aerith/Zack, A/Z/C/G/S. Do it.
- My BOYS. This one broke my heart, and there are so many feelings. Anything relating to Cor or Regis will make me immensely happy. Same thing with Clarus - the Amicitia are one of my favourite things about this series, so Iris!centric things, or (god forbid wow) GLADIO!CENTRIC!FICS! Gladio/Everyone. Gladio/Anyone. Gladnis is my primary ship, but holy heck go for it. Also! ARANEA!CENTRIC THINGS, that stunning dragoon lady threw her way into my heart. Gladio/Aranea is my rarepair, but also Prompto/Ara. Prompt/Cindy, Noctis/Prompto, Noctis/Ignis (UM. HI) - basically ChocoboSquare. Also Regis/Cor. My guilty pleasure ship. And oh my god I nearly forgot! COR/GILGAMESH. IS. ONE OF MY ULTIMATE SHIPS. Also, anything Nyx!centric will make me so happy. Give me the Glaives!
- Wow honestly give me anything. WidowTracer, GenYatta, McHanzo, Reaper76, MoiCy, SymmRat, RoadRat are my favourite ships, but I'm also so down with WidowMercy, anything surrounding Widowmaker, really, and MeiRya. Also Somb.Va. Moira!centric things, anything to do with Genji (MY BOI). I'm a filthy, FILTHY Zenyatta main, so anything about him is the best. GenYatta is literally my favourite ship. Shambali!fics, anything. Go for your life on this one.
- 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 so much everyone, here’s to a fantastic ITPE season!
