podficbigbang angst and indecision

[sophinisba]

I've been trying to figure out what to record for podficbigbang and remembering that I just don't read all that much long fic. Do you have any recs for me?

Merlin fans, what are you favorite fics of, say, between 30,000 and 70,000 words? Anything you've read that especially made you think it would be great to have a podfic of it?

Readers, what are you favorite fics of over 10,000 words with women in the lead (any fandom)?

Some things I especially like:
-queer people (in the story, not necessarily/only in the main pairing)
-kink in relationships
-hurt/comfort
-captivity, exile
-world-building
-well developed secondary characters
-fics that have not been podficced before
-authors who give blanket permission

Some things I would like to avoid
-typos, spelling and grammar mistakes
-sentences with way more words and clauses than they need
-sexism, racism, etc.
-words and names I don't know how to pronounce :D

typing from bed in iPod doesn't allow much links sorry

Long beautiful Merlin/Gwaine with longing lgbt characters working at relationships haircut fights and writing letters kink is Along a Wandering Mind by Hope 63k

For girls maybe As Soon As I Am Able by allothi ? Gwen/Morgana about 12k and is a big crush of mIne. Spandex and fun at stereotypes. Femslash and intrigue.

I'm not sure if either of theses dolls gave blanket permission. But what I know of them and their love of derivative fanworks they might have

Ok, fixing links now:

As Soon As I Am Able by Allothi, 11918 words, Morgana-centric (there's a very recent post on Allothi's journal about deleting their accounts soon though and orphaning the works, so earlier communication might be better than later if someone's thinking about this)

Along a Wandering Wind by hope, 63401 words, Gwaine-centric

Also, "dolls" was a weird auto-correct. That was meant to be "I'm not sure if either of these people gave blanket permission." Searching around, I couldn't find if Allothi had, but Hope has.

Thank you bb. I came across Along a Wandering Wind a couple weeks ago when I was trying to figure out how to fill my phonesex/epistolary square. Reading through the first few thousand words I really felt like Hope's way of making sentences is too different from mine for me to be able to read it out loud. I still haven't gotten a chance to read much of it but it did seem lovely. Another podficcer told me they are interested in it so I really hope that works out!
