chantress_song | ITPE 2019: Dear Podficcer Letter

Hi, you amazing person! This is my first time doing the Informal Twitter Podfic Exchange, so I might ramble a bit here, but more info's better than less, right? :D

Fandoms: (both offering and requesting, unless otherwise noted)
- Tolkien: Silmarillion, Lord of the Rings (movies and books); offering but not requesting for The Hobbit (movies)
- Star Wars: Original Trilogy and Prequel Trilogy
- Stargate SG-1
- Harry Potter (original 7 books, movies) - requesting only
- Discworld
- Old Kingdom - Garth Nix
- Earthsea (books)
- Fallen London
- A Memory Called Empire - Arkady Martine
- Heaven's Vault (video game)
- Wraeththu - Storm Constantine (original trilogy)
- Achewood
- Welcome to Night Vale
- Nightrunner Series - Lynn Flewelling
- Folklore, fairytales, and traditional ballads

General likes:
- worldbuilding
- character studies/introspection
- beautiful/clever/unexpectedly poetic uses of language
- polyamory, including poly as a social norm (sedoretu AUs are my secret weakness!)
- humor/crack/not!fic
- mutual pining and UST
- smut and kink, especially as a window into the inner workings of the character(s) involved
- missing scenes
- FEELS, whether that's in the form of hurt/comfort, a hard-won happily-ever-after, or just repeatedly getting punched in the heart throughout the story. Fuck. Me. Up, yo.
- snark and banter
- dubcon where consent is equally dubious for everyone involved (sex pollen, aliens made them do it, fuck or die, etc.)
- AUs! Canon divergence, what-ifs, time travel, soul mates, daemons, alternate history, crossovers/fusions... basically I'm up for almost anything same-but-different you care to throw at me (though see DNWs below)
- A/B/O with interesting worldbuilding and/or subversion of usual tropes/dynamics
- pregnancy/childbirth, including mpreg
- LGBTQ+ headcanons
- queerplatonic relationships
- competence kink
- found family
- sibling incest/twincest
- Rule 63
- meta, whether for a specific fandom or just in general

General Do Not Wants:
- scat, vomit, vore, toilet humor
- music or sound effects overlapping with narration--I'm totally cool with you adding them if you'd like/the story calls for it, just be aware that I'd have trouble following the story if the added effects are happening concurrently with your voice.
- related to the above: sound switching back and forth from one ear to the other ~~whatever the technical term for that is~~
- medical horror
- thinly-veiled immunization discourse, whether pro or anti; incidental mentions are okay (someone getting booster shots before traveling abroad, for instance), but characters having Opinions on the topic is a weirdly triggery area for me.
- misunderstandings/miscommunication, especially played for humor or as a plot device. If every single problem in the story can be solved merely by the characters talking to each other like adults for five goddamn minutes, it's safe to say it's not something I'd be into :P
- dirty talk
- lifestyle D/s
- gratuitous torture
- villains shipped with anyone
- mundane/high school/coffee shop AUs
- straight-up rape/noncon
- Hanahaki disease
- most parent/child incest
- infidelity
- love triangles not eventually resolved by turning into OT3s
- underage involving anyone under 16 (or the general equivalent for non-humans)

Fandom-specific likes and DNWs (any fandoms listed above and not expanded on below can be considered more or less "anything goes" due to being really tiny and/or me not having any strong preferences besides "YES, MORE/ANY PODFIC FOR THIS")

Silmarillion

Likes:
- I'm All About the Fëanorions, TBH. Give me something featuring my beautiful problematic murder children, and I'll love you forever. Fëanorion incest is delicious, whether that's various combos of the brothers or Fëanor himself getting involved with them too (this is pretty much the sole exception to my parent/child squick); the Fëanorion OT8 is awesome.
- Fëanor/Fingolfin
- Fingon/Maedhros
- Fëanor/Nerdanel
- Anairë/Eärwen
- gen family feels
- Maglor through history/in the modern day

DNWs:
- Angbang (Morgoth/Sauron)
- Fëanor portrayed as a shitty/abusive father
- pro-Valar attitudes
- Fëanorions repenting of their fell deeds and graciously being allowed to dwell in the peace of Aman once more

Lord of the Rings

Likes:
- Aragorn-centric gen
- Aragorn/Legolas
- Legolas/Gimli
- Merry/Pippin
- Boromir/Faramir
- Elladan/Elrohir

DNWs:
- Aragorn's a favorite of mine, but I'm currently kind of meh about the canon ship because reasons, so no Aragorn/Arwen, plz.

Star Wars Original Trilogy

Likes:
- Han/Leia/Luke
- Han/Leia
- Leia/Luke
- Han/Lando(/Leia)
- Leia being a BAMF

DNWs:
- AUs where Luke and Leia aren't related, solely for the sake of shipping them together without it being incest. The incest is the entire point of this ship for me, yo. :P
- Future fic involving smol Ben/Kylo. LET ME PRETEND MY FAVES GOT THEIR HAPPILY EVER AFTER, PLZ.
- Han/Luke without Leia in the mix somehow

Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

Likes:
- Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan

Dislikes:
- Rapey/coercive Qui-Gon
- Qui or Obi shipped with other characters (sex or relationships with other partners prior to the two of them getting together is fine)
- Anakin in general
- (Not a dislike, per se, but I sometimes get a little tired of the current fandom trend of being absolutely squeaky clean about there not being even the hint of hanky-panky between Qui and Obi before Obi's knighted and has been off on his own for a while. For the record, I'm totally into fics that explore the complicated power dynamics between them, and the potential pitfalls thereof, when they get together while Obi-Wan's still a padawan.)

Stargate SG-1

Likes:
- anything Daniel-centric, whether shippy or gen--I don't have particularly strong shipping preferences for him, just load me up with Daniel feels and we're good
- Teal'c-centric stuff, especially exploring Jaffa culture and/or his adjustment to living on Earth
- Sam being a BAMF
- Jack snarking like a snarky thing
- mission fic
- team as family
- team as potential orgy waiting to happen

DNWs:
- anything that relies too heavily on the Tanith arc introduced in "Crossroads" (AKA that episode where everyone conveniently forgot Teal'c was married, including Teal'c, just so he could get hit with manpain about a fridged lover. NO I DON'T HAVE OPINIONS ABOUT THAT, WHY DO YOU ASK :P)
- not necessarily a hard no if he's included, but I'm pretty meh about Jonas

Harry Potter:

Likes:
- good old-fashioned Draco/Harry--the tropier the better!
- Sirius/Remus
- Hermione/Luna

DNWs:
- This isn't a fandom I've read fic in in a long time, TBH, so I'd say as long as you mind the broader DNW list up top, it should be fine. :)

If you'd like to get a more concrete sense of the kinds of things I'm into, check out my Works page on AO3; stuff I've already podficced is a pretty good gauge of my id! You can also contact

flameandsong with specific questions, if needed.

Thank you in advance, and I can't wait to see what you record for me! <3
