I participated in voiceteam Mystery Box, which started on Dec. 26thish and ended a couple hours ago. I rejoined Team Red Out Loud, and we won! This was pretty awesome, as in May, with lots of collaboration both on multivoice podfics and on all kinds of other things. As in May, I got stressed out at times but also loved being on a team with other people who were focused on winning. These last two weeks I realized I was especially stressed out by challenges that involved making things other than podfic, so, idk, it was good that other people were up for it. ngl I really liked winning, even though I didn't contribute to the tiebreaker challenge we did the last few days.

Here are the podfics I made for the challenge, many of them in collaboration with teammates. They are all rated General Audiences or Teen and are less than 20 minutes. As in May/June, I'm not up for explaining and coding everybody else's names but you can see them on the AO3.
-she's waiting for me (just across the bar), MCU: Maria Hill/Natasha Romanov
-The Fear of Not Trying, MCU: Peter & Tony, written by a teammate for this challenge, with cover art by a teammate
-Tolls Paid, Elementary: Joan/Sherlock
-your quiet afternoon crush , MCU: Peter/MJ, with voices by several teammates and cover art by a rival
-Is that a cat in your pocket?, MCU: Tony & Rhodey, with another voice and cover art by teammates
-the winding path, MCU: Sam/Steve
-The Prompt Machine: IronFalcon podfics b, MCU: Tony/Sam, a set of three podficlets with covers by a teammate and two rivals, and with audio editing on one of them by a rival!

Also for Voiceteam, I wrote a Carol Danvers/Maria Rambeau ficlet, Follow Your Star, that a teammate recorded.

I also contributed voice parts to these other short podfics that my teammates organized!
-'My Drunk Kitchen' is Not a DIY Show, Texts from Last Night: original female characters
-Conversations with Carpenter, Alice (Syfy): Carpenter & various
-lightheaded, The Untamed: Yanli/Wen Qing (This one's super great!)
-An Invitation, Wonder Woman 1984: Diana/Barbara
-Where in the World is "Where in the World"?, Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego/Sesame Street: Elmo-centric
-The Snowstorm Variations, Leverage: Eliot/Parker/Hardison

Meanwhile, the Informal Twitter Podfic Exchange was exchanged and revealed! I decided not to participate in the exchange this year but I did make an extra treat:
-Hair is Everything , MCU: Tony & Natasha, 31 minutes.

And I tried to put a 2020 podfic year in review post in here but it is too much! I will try again soon. <3

Okay, first of all, claudia603, I need you to watch the first three and a half minutes of the 2014 movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Here it is, I'll wait:



Isn't that delightful? Okay now you are set to understand most (though not all) fanworks for this ship, including the three I talk about in this post. Like there are a lot of movies and other stuff does happen to these guys but a lot of it is sad and a lot of Sam/Steve fans want them to be happy so there we are.

Yeah so I participated in samstevesmallgifts, a lovely low-key fanworks exchange with just one pairing but a lot of my favorite MCU people.
-potofsoup wrote me Day after Thanksgiving, which is very much my jam, a good quiet fic about two people in a relationship talking about big personal stuff like being gay in the military at different times in history. There is also a bonus drawing of Sam/Steve smooching! :D
-I made the only podfic in the exchange (thanks, mods, for including podfic this year!), and then the bears came, a very cute fic about camping, written by my recipient oh_no_oh_dear. It is 13 minutes and rated G.
-And then I also wrote them a fic, just like an oven (I need some lovin'), a little over 2000 words, rated mature. This is my first m/m fic in four and a half years!!

This was also my fourth year participating in #itpe, the Informal Twitter Podfic Exchange! I got assigned to Olive2Read, a new podficcer whom I'd started following a few weeks before, and at first I was a little worried because they'd requested Killing Eve and I'd signed up to offer that while watching the first season, NOT REALIZING THERE WAS A WHOLE SECOND SEASON that had inspired a lot of femslash fanworks but which I didn't have access to. Also Olive2Read but didn't want graphic violence and in that fandom there is a lot of graphic violence because of the source. Anyway it all worked out because they'd also requested Schitt's Creek podfic, specifically anything other than the m/m pairing that dominates that fandom. And once I started reading I found some delightful such fics and had a blast recording them. In general I have a blast whenever I get to record in a sitcom fandom because the character voices are so fun, and I also always get a kick out of making femslash podfic at Christmas so yeah.

The three podfics I made were
-bring the cowgirl out and cock them guns, written by olive2read, Stevie/Twyla, 13 minutes, explicit
-in the hack, written by thingswithwings, Alexis/Twyla, 19 minutes, general audiences
-warmest regards., written by helvetica_upstart, Stevie/David, 19 minutes, explicit.

Meanwhile lattice_frames got assigned to me and made me two podfics for maybe my favorite MCU femslash pairing, Carol/Maria from Captain Marvel. (Claudia you'd be into this ship too.) They are "Enough" written by fabrega and "you are my sweetest downfall (i loved you first)" written by QueenWithABeeThrone. I got them in a DM and got to listen to them while walking around the elevators in my parents building on Christmas evening because it was too cold to go outside. Now you can download them along with I think a couple hundred other new podfics at the #ITPE: Informal Twitter Podfic Exchange 2019 (Main Gifts) post over on amplificathon!

Also the irrepressible reenajenkins made me a podfic of probably my favorite StarWars ship, Jyn/Cassian from Rogue One, as an extra treat. It is "Drive Me Crazy" written by tielan and you can find it along with many many other new podfics (25 of them, I believe, also made by reenajenkins!) at the #ITPE: Informal Twitter Podfic Exchange 2019 (Treats) post.

So all in all this was a nice chill way to end what was an exciting fannish 2019 for me and start off 2020 on a good foot as well. Much love to the mods and to all the other folks who participated. Fandom is great, you know?

Dear Podficcer,

Whee, I'm back in fandom and back in Informal Twitter Podfic Exchange after a hiatus! How are you doing? Is this your first #itpe? I'm going to podfication next month, are you also going and will you have to pretend not to know who I am? Or omg maybe we've known each other for years! Mystery exchanges, so great!

Thank you for signing up with one or more of my fandoms and thanks in advance for making something for me! I like all kinds of podfics and I am sure to like what you make!

( fandom-specific notes )

I made two MCU podfics for the Informal Twitter Podfic Exchange:



Title: Five Times Someone Asked about Natasha's Tattoo (text, download, and streaming links at the AO3)
Author: storiesfortravellers
Fandom: Avengers/MCU
Rating: Mature
Ship(s): Mostly gen with Natasha/Bruce and Natasha/Clint
Length: 6:37 minutes
Doesn't really need a summary because it has one of those good titles. :)





Title: thunder is good, thunder is impressive, but it is lightning that does all the work (text, download, and streaming links at the AO3)
Author: artyartie
Fandom: Avengers/MCU
Rating: Mature
Ship(s): Thor/everyone
Length: 59:24 minutes
Author's summary (excerpted): "Basically, Thor does the Avengers. And the Helicarrier crew. And not-so random visitors."

I just signed up for the Informal Twitter Podfic Exchange for the first time since 2012 I guess! Thank you for making something in one of my fandoms, secret person! My requested fandoms are Merlin, How To Get Away with Murder, Orange Is the New Black, The Hour, and Hamilton! My general preference is not to have a white dude/white dude pairing (Hamilton/Burr would be a-okay though) and in the case of OITNB I'm not too interested in Piper, Alex, or Stella. Also here are two paragraphs I wrote three years ago:

I like feelings and people being good to each other. I often enjoy stories about queer people and trans people and kinky people, whether or not there is sex in them. Straight cis vanilla people are also lovely! I like established couples trying new things. In porn some of my favorite things are submission, name calling, and spanking. Please stay away from electricity play or situations resembling interrogation of prisoners.

I like very short podfics and longer ones. I like podfics with or without music and sound effects. I like all kinds of accents. I hope you have fun!

I was delighted to be assigned to my buddy such_heights/such_heights in the #InformalTwitterPodficExchange, not least because it gave me an extra opportunity to make femslash podfic gifts. Although we have a lot of fandoms in common and there were all sorts of exciting choices, I decided to go with a set of three Avengers pornfics featuring three different ships. I have had microphone issues in recent weeks and Avengers character voices are not exactly my specialty, so I hope you will listen generously. I found all of these stories to be fun and super hot, and I had fun recording them.
