C'mere, let me tell you a story

Dear Podficcer 2025

2025-09-21T20:28:03Z

Dear podficcer, you're amazing and I can't wait to hear what you make. ~~A majority of this~~ basically all of this is cribbed from last year so if it seems familiar, it is. I'm lattice_frames on twitter as well as tumblr and I'll do my best to have bookmarks for everything! If something is already tagged "To Podfic" please know that's aspirational and I'd love to have a version that I don't have to make (and even if I do, I rarely listen to my own work before I wander out of a fandom).

Nirvana In Fire*
- Mei Changsu/Xiao Jingyan(/Mu Nihuang) (pre, during, & post canon. Both fixit & canon ending)
- Mei Changsu/Chaos
- Mu NIhuang/Xia Dong
- Yan Yujin/Xiao Jingrui
- character driven gen (Fei Liu, Jingmom, Gong Yu especially)

Queen's Thief
- COSTIS/KAMET
Goblin Emperor
- MAIA MY DEAR HEART!
- Maia/Csethiro(/Csevet)
- Cala/Beshelar
- happy endings & gen

- Cody/Mace
- Ahsoka/Bariss
- Waxer/Boil
- Wooley my darling
- I don't really care about Anakin? Like, he can be there but I just don't care.
- I have mixed feelings about mando clones, it can be good but I'm picky. If I've bookmarked it it's probably a solid bet
Addams family
- A N Y T H I N G
- Morticia/Gomez
- I'm most familiar with the 90's movies tbh
Imperial Radch
- gen
- outsider POV
- explorations of the worldbuilding, slice of life for the minor characters
- I'm open to podfic about the characters from Provenance but I haven't looked at anything for that book
D&D: Honor Amongst Thieves
- Team gen!
- Xenk backstory!
- Edgin/Xenk particularly where Edgin is being a failboat and not noticing Xenk is into him
Batfamily & associated fandoms
- Tim/Kon:
  - ~inappropriate~ use of TTK is a bonus
  - not interested in anything where Luthor's a major character
  - Stupid shenanigans with YJ/TT is exactly my jam
  - I do love a clonebaby story
- Tim/Jason: batfam doesn't need to be happy families but they do need to be more on the mend/moving towards being civil
- Jason Todd/Kyle Rayner: ok look this came up as a side ship in something else and next thing I know I'm down this rabbit hole, bonus bonus: Jason/Donna/Kyle
- Cass! Gen (esp with the other ladies of the batfam) or Cass/Steph
- no Bruce Wayne Is A Bad Parent, he absolutely can be a fuckup but he should at least be trying (even if he's also trying the nerves of everyone around him)
- no egregiously evil Talia?
- A minimum of on-screen Ra's al Ghul please
- Let Tim be a creepy weirdo 2k25
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild*
- Revali/Link (tsundere bird boyfriend!)
- Mipha/Zelda
- Amali and Kass taking Link in (romantically or platonically tbqh)
- Link rediscovering the world and how to be a person
- Tears of the Kingdom: I'm less interested in the side characters but would be into Link's thoughts about the changes b/w BOTW and TOTK
  - Exception to the side characters: Purah would be fun, especially in the pre/early game setting
Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty
- Gen casefic
- Sui Zhou/Tang Fan
- snippets of domesticity/being a family
- Dong'er being the little genius she is
Fullmetal Alchemist
- I've been reading Roy/Ed since basically 2003 so it's what I default to. HOWEVER I also love:
- explorations of the aftermath and implications
- interpersonal relationships between the side characters
- gen, especially woman-centric gen
- Olivier Armstrong
- heymans breda/jean havoc
Dungeon Meshi
- I am not compelled by Laios/Kabru
- Falin/Marcille anywhere from ~soft girlfriends~ to what it means to have resurrected the woman you love and in the process made her monstrous
- My faves are Chilchuck,Senshi,and Izutsumi
Scum Villain
- Yet another place where I'm here for the side characters
- Mobei Jun/Shang Quinghua: love an idiots to lovers/didn't know they were dating for them
- Liu Quingge focused fic
  - gen, his relationship with Liu Mingyan,
  - shippy with Shen Yuan!Quinqiu but not the OG
  - I think he'd (eventually) get along with Mobei Jun? I can be into it
YuYu Hakusho
- A focus on any of the major character women would be incredible
- Also would love something that showcases how Kurama isn't really as human as he pretends to be
- Love a Hiei & Yukina siblings thing
Naruto
- Hatake Kakashi/Umino Iruka
- Hatake Kakashin &/ Might Guy (friends and/or shippy)
- Rock Lee/Gaara
- Haruno Sakura/Yamanaka Ino
- Uchiha Itachi/Hoshigake Kisame
- I'm probably game for any f/f involving the main cast
- also behind the scenes stuff with the teacher's generation (Genma, Hayate, etc) and ANBU
- I have no idea what happens post-canon, I barely know what happens at the end of canon tbqh
- I burnt myself out on Naruto and Sauske as characters ages ago so they're fine as side characters?
Gokusen
- My eternal exception on my hard no student/teacher
- Sawada Shin/Yamaguchi Kumiko: Yankumi figuring out that yes Shin is serious both about her and the family
- Also into: gen about shirokin students, about all the various folks in and around the Ooedo, outsider pov
- Definitely primarly manga based, though I did watch the anime and the first season of the drama
Onmyouji
- Abe no Seimei/Minamoto no Hiromasa

Things I really like:

femslash
bro!fic & gen-ish stories
Stories that are fun and/or funny and make me make goofy sappy faces when I listen
terrimazing puns
people figuring out how to communicate in a way that works for them
slice of life, especially for established relationships
world building/exploration
familyyyyy
acts of service & food as a love language
smut where the characters' feelings/affection are front & center
inversion of common top/bottom dynamics

Squicks/dislikes/DNW for this exchange:

non-con/anything where one person's ability to consent might be in question (picky about execution, if it's in my bookmarks you're good)
omegaverse & bioessentialism
torture porn/gore for the sake of gore
heavy or unresolved angst
death fic*: Nirvana in Fire & BOTW is an exception
awkward situations. I've got a fairly hair-trigger embarrassment squick that gets magnified in audio.
High school & undergrad college AUs, grad students are ok
social media AUs
Generation gaps in ships
Cop/Military/government/spy AUs, canon military involvement is fine
Not a huge fan of crossovers/fusions unless it's:
- a. crack & short (a la untitled goose game xovers/fusions)
- b. they're all technically in the same sort of 'verse anyway (mostly large canons like comic books or star wars). Somehow Daemon AUs are exempt from this

If you think it fits a squick but it's in my bookmarks, it's fine.

Life update

2022-09-22T22:49:35Z

I haven't made anything since I finished my 100 hours for my 10 year podficversary, but I've fallen face first into a couple new fandoms though I don't know if I'll be making anything for them. I've also made progress on writing (ok outlining) several Clone Wars fics and I plan to take part in the Order 63 fest with some podfic and a fic if I can get it done in time. :D

Things I learned this year

2022-05-16T01:25:31Z

This year feels like the biggest step-up in terms of podfic quality for me. I'd been doing more-or-less the same thing with my editing for the last few years but this year I've branched out and tried new things. Some of those are definitely going to become standard for me. (these are all for Audacity fwiw)

10 year podficversary, 100 hours of podfic, 100 ao3 works

2022-05-16T00:31:53Z

I think this year has been my most productive to date, and for a very specific reason. I've been attempting to make it to 100 hours of posted podfic on my 10th podficversary. And I made it! I didn't quite manage to get to 100 podfics (where I'm a primary/major voice) but I did manage to get to 100 ao3 works which still feels like a good round number.

A Lightsaber and a Love Story

2022-03-17T06:52:05Z

I'll be attempting to cross-post my podfic over here when I remember, and I just finished posting a (pre-relationship) CodyWan series! About 1hr20 total across 5 podfics. My streaming is still broken, mostly because I haven't had enough brainspace to try and fix it so it's just direct download links

ITPE 2021: Dear Podficcer letter

2021-09-29T22:29:19Z

Hello fellow podficcer! I'm so excited to hear what you make and hopefully I can help making a choice a little easier. Links in the fandom name are to my ao3 bookmarks if you want an idea of what I've been reading/into. As always, things bookmarked as "To Podfic" are aspirational and I would love to hear someone else's version.

Wahey, two posts in a year that aren't ITPE related? Work continues as usual and I've finally made myself take the concrete steps towards getting my full certification. You know, the steps I've been telling myself to take for at least three years now?

ITPE 2020

2020-10-11T00:37:34Z

Well, it's been quite a year friend. I'll try and flesh this out a bit more once assignments go out, but I'm writing this on my phone at work with like 4 hours before the deadline. Which seems in keeping with the whole year, tbqh. I'll fix links & the probably broken cut when I get home after the deadline
My bookmarks are on AO3 and I'll add fandom bookmark links when I get a chance for the new ones for this year.

Hello friend! My bookmarks are on ao3, if I've got something bookmarked as to-podfic please feel free (actually please do, I might get around to 10% of them) and I'll keep adding to them as I get the chance. The names of each fandom also links to the bookmarks for that fandom (or sub-fandom) for ease of access.

New Podfics! :D

2019-01-08T22:51:20Z

I didn't manage quite as much as I'd wanted for ITPE this year, sadly. I've got two full recorded (but unedited) things that I had wanted to give as treats but will most likely just get edited and posted at some point this year. I did manage 5 podfics with a total of 7 hours and 37 minutes, which I'm really pleased with.

2019 resolutions

2019-01-02T18:51:25Z

I'm notorious for abandoning new habits after a few weeks but I still try every year to have New Years Resolutions. Generally I can keep it easier if I have external culpability, so now all y'all get to know. At least in broad terms. Specifics are going under the cut but there's some health stuff (physical and mental), professional stuff, as well as creative and fannish stuff. I've also ordered a habit calendar which will hopefully be useful, I like having a visual cue but keeping track in a journal was usually to easy to forget. This I can stick on the wall.

Hello friends

2018-12-05T12:24:18Z

In the wake of Tumblr making the site even more user unfriendly, I see we're all brushing dust off of our accounts here. I know I've been absent except for the annual ITPE letter. We'll see how long most of us stick around (myself included) but I'm hoping that pinning DW's tab will help. Plus it does actually look better on mobile than it did the last time I tried with any real effort.

Dear Podficcer for #ITPE 2015

2015-10-10T02:24:37Z

Hello podficcer dear! Fandoms and likes/dislikes/ships are under the cut.

Fandoms & their pairings
- Marvel
  - MCU: Femslash! I am weak to Maria/Natasha, but I'm also not OTP-ish about them. (Lady-centric gen is also ace.) I don't watch Agents of Shield so heads up, I don't really know the characters.
  - Young Avengers: America Chavez/Kate Bishop
- Bend It Like Beckham: Jules/Jess
- Women's Hockey: all of it. Just, EVERYTHING PLEASE.
- Temeraire: Laurance/Tharkay/Granby is my main pairing, but I'm not opposed to other pairings. I would love femslash or lady-centric gen. :DDD
- The Eagle: Marcus/Esca
- Dead Poets Society: Todd/Neil
- Addams Family: Gomez/Morticia
- Harry Potter: femslash and Dean/Seamus
- The Losers: Cougar/Jensen
- LOTR: Gimli/Legolas
Things I really like
- femslash
- bro!fic & gen-ish stories
- Stories that are fun and/or funny and make me make goofy sappy faces when I listen
- terrimazing puns
- people figuring out how to communicate in a way that works for them
- mundane AUs
Squicks/dislikes
- incest
- non-con
- relationships where one party has all/most of the power over the other. (Authority figure/someone with far less authority and agency) I'm fine with the one lacking structural power still having agency and influence wrt the other person. If I can't tell that both parties went in of their own free will/bad decisions I'm out. (No student/teacher type relationships tyvm.)
- torture porn/gore
- heavy angst. I'm not fond of crying because of my podfics.
- awkward situations. I've got a fairly hair-trigger embarrassment squick that gets magnified in audio.
- drastic age differences (like, participants are of different generations. Kinda fits in w/ the authority thing)
- High school AUs

Spring of Women

2015-03-03T05:35:53Z

After a conversation about the dearth of long-form femslash and lady-centric podfic I got to thinking; what if I set a goal for myself to only produce and consume lady-centric works for the entirety of spring. Now, I've got a couple things already in the works and, to an extent, they will be my only exceptions.
