Dear Podficcer Letter: ITPE 2014

[itsadrizzit]

Dear Podficcer,

I feel like I'm really bad at these and I always miss stuff and I'm really mono-fannish, so I hope I'm not making it too hard for you. I promise you that I will love whatever you gift me, because the sheer fact that someone took the time to make anything just for me is enough of a great feeling to make me happy and grateful to you, no matter what.

With that, here's me trying to provide you some guidance in whatever ways I can.

Fandoms/Pairings:

• Dragon Age. My absolute primary forever OTP is Anders/Nathaniel How. I also appreciate some Anders/M!Hawke, Fenris/Hawke, Bethany/Nathaniel Howe, Sebastian Vael/Nathaniel Howe, fic about Zevran, and pretty much anything involving Isabela (especially Isabela/Cullen if you can manage to round that up) and occasional other things...especially gen fic about people in the DA universe just plain being awesome, but Nathaniel/Anders is always going to be the best
• Welcome to Night Vale.Carlos/Cecil. Will also do some gen fic in this fandom if it's cleverly written. I really like fic that's written from the Carlos POV (or really any POV that's not Cecil's) since we basically don't get that in the actual show.
• Football (soccer) RPF. This is a new recent weakness of mine and I seem to have tripped and fallen. Hard. Real Madrid and/or Spanish National team, especially anything where Iker Casillas is involved. Iker Casillas/Sergio Ramos, Iker Casillas/David Beckham, Iker Casillas/Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Ramos/Fernando Torres, Cristiano Renaldo/Gareth Bale, Gareth Bale/Luka Modric. Also pretty much anything that involves Rafael Van Der Vaart and/or Robin Van Persie and/or Stefan DeVrij since I also love the Netherlands National Team.
• Castle. Kevin Ryan/Javier Esposito. I really don't ship anything else on this show, but I ship this pretty hard.
• Merlin. Merlin/Arthur or most things with Lancelot or Gwaine Admittedly, I read very little fic in this fandom, but I really enjoyed the show on a deep level so I'm betting if I took the time to get involved I'd be pretty into this fandom.
• The Dark Is Rising book series. Bran/Will. If you find one of these and podfic it for me I'd probably be totally thrilled because it's super obscure.
• Sleepy Hollow (TV). Ichabod Crane/Abbie Mills. That's pretty much it.
• BBC Robin Hood. Robin/Marion, Gisborne/Marion. Robin/Gisborne. Any and all gen fic, especially gen fic featuring antics!
• Once Upon a Time. It's all Emma/Hook for me.
• Doctor Who. New Who, almost exclusively. I adore Amy/Rory beyond all imagination. Not a fan of Clara at all. I mostly really like gen fic here, but am open to a lot of things. The only Classic Who I really like is anything involving 5.
• Torchwood. Jack Harkness/Ianto Jones.
• Forgotten Realms. Not all of it, just the Drizzt universe stuff. I'm a sucker for Drizzt/Artemis Entreri ANYTHING.
• There is probably other stuff I like, so feel free to ask me about things. I have anonymous commenting turned on for the duration of the exchange. I watch a lot more shows than this, but don't really get involved in the fanworks side of them, so if you have a great idea that's in another fandom (I enjoy Supernatural (through season 5, but no Wincest...mostly Destiel, probably), Angel, and Buffy...just to name a few.)

I don't have a huge number of squicks, but I don't really enjoy pure PWP fic (unless it's about one of my OTPs mentioned above), I don't do m!preg, I'm pretty picky about BDSM and D/s stuff (not that I don't like it, just what I like is pretty specific so the odds of getting the right one are probably worse than the odds of getting the good ones), and body horror situations (same as the BDSM, when I like it, it's great, but generally it's hard to please me), anything involving non-sexual bodily fluids (I have a HUUUUGE vomit squick, so please just don't do it)

Things I really like

• AU's--especially the high school/modern/coffee shops/sports/ mundane AUs. I pretty much adore them.
• Relationship building--I have a HUUUUGE soft spot for the 'this is how we got together" story
• Angsty stuff. Seriously...as long as things get resolved at the end, I totally love fic that drags the characters through pretty much the lowest-low and back then ends on some sort of comfort note.

Things I don't like

• Pure PWP
• Really kinky things (they just don't do it for me, mostly. I'll read them, but I mostly don't find them interesting)
• non-happy endings
• dub-con/non-con. (not that I don't like it, but basically proceed with caution. I might like it, I might not...totally depends on the situation.)
• Character bashing
• kidfic

Feel free to podfic any of my fic here or anything on my bookmarks list or really anything you see fit. I love most things from cute, fluffy stories to serious relationship building, to total angst (as long as it ends on a happy note). I will turn on anonymous commenting, so feel free to get in touch with me here or on my tumblr at itsadrizzit.tumblr.com if you have questions or wonder if something is okay.

Thanks so much and happy podficcing!
