Dear Creator - Podfic Summer Swap 2023
Jun. 8th, 2023 04:46 pmThings I most like (regardless of fandom chosen)
THEMES: trans main characters, particularly characters who use neopronouns; gender exploration / identity exploration; angst with a happy ending; found family (including genfic); explicit consent in nsfw works; polyamory & qpp rleationships
TROPES: FIX-IT FIC; fake dating / didn't know they were dating / fake not-dating / stealth dating; there was only one bed, mutual pining, soulmates; crack treated seriously
AU fics loved; canon divergence all the way to modern / no powers or specifically themed aus. Crossover style aus (x characters in y universe) are so fun, but if I haven't created for the source material, I'd prefer that the fic be understandable w/o knowledge of the "y universe" context.
In Podfic: texting fics; any degree of music or sfx that brings you joy to include (they're not mandatory but I enjoy podfics with them, so if you enjoy making podfics with them, please follow your heart!!)
RATING: ALL RATINGS ENJOYED EQUALLY
Things I DO NOT WANT to receive: major archive warnings; **caveat on major character death is that I'm okay with temporary character death so long as it's resolved; unhappy endings; fics about pregnancy that go into detail about pregnancy/birth (kidfic is fine otherwise tho, and pregnancy in fic is fine if it's not super graphically described); fics containing "on-screen" self-harm or suicide (mentions of past incidents are fine if they are not graphic or flashbacks); fics containing institutionalization; relationships with unaddressed & starkly unequal power dynamics that lead to dubious consent scenarios; poorly handled mental health tropes (such as anything "split personality" for horror reasons or personality disorders to indicate 'evilness' in a character. love me some good explorations of PTSD / trauma / mental health, but very little will piss me off as much as poorly handled mental illness esp when it exacerbates the stigma around certain illnesses & disorders).
Main Fandoms I Would Like to Receive Podfics In:
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
I love anything centered on clone troopers / clone trooper culture / clones speak mando'a. I absolutely ship clone/clone ships. My main faves in this era are Cody, Fox, Rex, Fives, Echo, Wooley, and for non-clones, Quinlan Vos, Ahsoka Tano, Kit Fisto, Plo Koon. I adore any form of fix-it here particularly, but post-order 66 fics are great too (hopeful endings are fine here, but no blatantly unhappy endings still pls).
Star Wars: Legends
All the rare blorbos. Jon Antilles and his group of Outer Rim fringe Jedi? Absolutely. Agen Kolar? Please! Also Idk where else to put it so like. All that Mandalorian culture pre-Jaster's death / Jango's loss of power? Give me it!! Love me some Jaster Mereel!! Love me some Jango who doesn't lose everything!!
Star Wars: Rebels
I did not mean to blorbo Kallus but I sure did. But also the whole Ghost crew. Just, anything with good Ghost feels and also anything with Kallus/Zeb that is happy. Kanan living is always a plus.
Star Wars: Sequel Trilogy
Rey/Poe/Finn. Love this ot3. I do not hold with the ending of the sequel trilogy, but I liked aspects of it. Mostly just really loved episode VII tho.
Main Star Wars Ships:
Other Fandoms I Really Enjoy RN:
ATLA: Sokka/Zuko, please let it be soft, it can hurt it just must also be soft; Zuko-centered genfic; Iroh-centered fic; Zuko & Aang brotp
Ted Lasso: Jamie/Roy/Keeley; Ted/Trent; genfic about the team!
Trigun: Vash/Wolfwood (esp trans!Vash)
Spiderverse: anything centering Miles/Hobie/Gwen (any combo of the three), anything trans!Gwen, also really anything Miles-centric & gen
Additional Fandoms that I love (but am less specifically into on main atm):
Batman (DCU): Batfam genfic, Jason/Tim, Tim/Connor, Jason/Roy, Jason/Kori/Roy (or genfic about them)
Star Trek (AOS): Kirk/Spock, I do not particularly want Kirk/Spock Prime, but any fic where they have a good friendship will have me very heart eyes. I also love Kirk & Bones' brotp, and I'm game for / open to Kirk/Bones fic if it hits on some of my other big "yes please" themes and interests from above! I'm also forever in love with Nyota, so if you find a good fic centered on her, I will probably be super game for any pairing she's in or anything gen.
Teen Wolf: magic!Stiles, AU fics, I love Stiles/Derek but would prefer they not be fics where they are together when Stiles is underage, or if they are, would prefer that they be fics that acknowledge & deal with the age difference in some (healthy) way. Other pairings I love are: Stiles/Danny; Stiles&Lydia friendship; Lydia/Allison; Allison/Scott/Isaac; Scott/Isaac; Allison/Kira(/Scott); Boyd/Erica
(Side note: I stopped watching somewhere in S3, and anything beyond S3 kind of goes over my head, but I did read some fic in those eras, so I can mostly pick up on it if it's not too centered on characters I wouldn't know.)
Also more than fine with genfic focus rather than fic centered on romantic relationships, and I love anything that deals with them in college or beyond whether set in the canon(-adjacent) timeline or AU.
The Old Guard: Andy/Quynh otp for life, Quynh centered fics will make me cry, and Quynh & Nile focused fics will ALSO make me cry. Also I strongly headcanon that Nile is aro and Andy is nonbinary, and any fic / podfic including these things will have my heart forever.
The Hobbit: trans!Nori for life.
