I posted a wee fic last week, my first once since Voiceteam Mystery Box around New Year's:
-What my friends call me, MCU/Spider-Man, warm and fuzzy MJ & Peter & Ned with MJ/Peter and gender stuff, 696 words, general audiences.

I am writing )

And I'm still making podfic! Yesterday I made this to celebrate Steve Rogers's birthday:
-steady to the shore, MCU/Captain America, Bucky/Steve/Sam, 25 minutes, explicit

I also made the following podfics for Voiceteam in May (and trailing into June), all less than twenty minutes:
-feel something when I see you, MCU/Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Bucky/Sam, explicit
-Nonsense, MCU/Captain America, Bucky/Sam with Bucky/bad guys noncon flashbacks, explicit
-Who Taught You How to Fall, Saving Face, Wil/Vivian, explicit (an old fic of mine!)
-She, Brokeback Mountain, Alma Jr./OFC, mature (an old poem of mine!)
-The Roommate (A Gentlemen's Arrangement Remix), Merlin, Merlin/Elyan, mature, featuring many Voiceteam participants
-Wherever You'll Be Someone, MCU/Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Bucky/Sam, general audiences
-Rogue Two: A Star Wars Story, Rogue One, Jyn-centric, general audiences
-a glitch on the television screen, MCU/WandaVision, Wanda/Vision, teen, edited by my teammate
-Another Country, MCU/Avengers, Steve/Tony, teen, with cover art by a teammate
-yes your wings are beautiful. yes they shimmer. god., MCU/Iron Man, Tony/Rhodey, general audiences
-Capes, Star Wars sequels, Finn/Poe, teen, with three other Voiceteam participants

Voiceteam thoughts )

I also participated in a few other projects organized by other Voiceteam folks:
-for goodness' bake!, The Good Place ensemble, general audiences
-Furry Artists vs. Doctors, a dramatic reading of the (I guess classic?) Furry Artists vs. Doctors Tumblr post
-Until we rise with open eyes, Patrick O'Brian - Aubrey-Maturin Series, Aubrey and Maturin, general audiences
-A Seed of Song: Fives Hymns The Muses Sing of Hades and Persephone, Greek mythology/Vienna Teng's Aims, Hades/Persephone, teen

Oh hey I used all my journal's genre tags on this post: boyslash, femslash, gen, het, multi, other, and poetry!

This past month I kept up some of my momentum from [community profile] voiceteam and posted these seven podfics:

-The body heroic., MCU, Peter/Tony, 56 minutes, explicit.

-So Strong As Gentleness , Star Wars sequels, Finn/Rey, 7 minutes, mature.

-If The Bones Are Good (The Rest Don't Matter), MCU, Bucky/Shuri, 11, minutes, explicit.

-Five Times Bruce and Val Thought Maybe They Were Meant to Be , MCU, Bruce/Valkyrie, 5 minutes, teen. (Multivoice podfic featuring [archiveofourown.org profile] blackglass as Valkyrie.)

-Breaking Point, MCU, Peter/Tony, 2 hours 15 minutes, explicit.

-This I Know, Sugar , MCU, Sam/Steve, 26 minutes, teen. (Multivoice podfic featuring [archiveofourown.org profile] olive2read as Sam and [archiveofourown.org profile] Chantress as Natasha.)

-People Who Have Managed to Stay Alive, MCU, Sam/Steve, 2 hours 3 minutes, general audiences.

I posted the last two as part of SamSteve Vacation Week, a little no-commitment AU fest that's running this week leading up to Steve's birthday on the 4th of July. So if you're a fan of that ship, check out the collection and consider contributing to it!

I want to point out that the second Peter/Tony and the second Sam/Steve are each over two hours, putting them among the longest podfics I've ever made! I am really proud of both of them too, the Peter/Tony because I think my reading is pretty awesome, and the Sam/Steve because I put in a lot of extra effort with editing music and such. They are also both quite romantic! I've loved both fics since I read them last summer and am excited to have the podfics out in the world. \o/

With all that done, I'm thinking of taking a break from podfic for most of July and trying to write some fics, or maybe even read some books or something, idk. OTOH it might be fun to record something else for the Sam/Steve fest, or I might do some more F/M podfic because I like to keep something of a numerical balance between my F/F, F/M, M/M, and gen fanworks (even though my podfics skew overwhelmingly towards the dudes if we count by length). I will be working on a long femslash project for [community profile] pod_together, but that's still being written and I probably won't start recording until toward the end of this month.

One more thing: yesterday [archiveofourown.org profile] Rhea314 posted Discredit & Sequel, a massively multivoice 30-minute Good Omens podfic for which I recorded a line or two at last October's [community profile] podfication. Multivoice podfics are fun to listen to and you should give this a try!

I've been having such a great time participating in [community profile] voiceteam, which started on May 1st (well April 30th really). This is a little bit similar to [livejournal.com profile] summerpornathon, the Merlin writing challenge I used to do, in that players are sorted into a bunch of different teams that compete for points each week. I guess more people are familiar with these kinds of challenge as "land comms". Then I was going to have a sentence about the ways voiceteam is different from pthon but ... there are too many differences.

Anyway, this is a podfic-centered comm and every week has a theme but there are always lots of different ways of participating, so it's possible to get the maximum number of points for the week just by, say, commenting on others' podfics, or doing other kinds of creative work. There are also a lot of rewards for collaboration so it's been a great chance to interact with people. We are in Discord all the time. There are not a lot of rewards for making longer works and they take a lot more time, so most of us haven't been doing that. OTOH some people, including some members of my team, have been super ambitious and organized incredible projects even when they've already maxed out on points for the week.

Oh I should say another reason I'm enjoying it is that my team, the Red team, has been winning. I don't think my team ever won at summerpornathon! Team Gluttony used to win but then once I got on it we didn't. :D

As happens every time I make podfic, I marvel at how much easier and less stressful that is when authors have posted blanket permission to podfic on their AO3 profiles. There are a lot of tight deadlines in this challenge and we're often looking for very specific things. We find lots of things that would make great podfics but we don't know if we'll have time to hear back from the author and get the thing done. Thank you so much, friends and strangers who have posted BP!!!

Some of the stuff I've made is only posted at the Voiceteam Discord server (idk if that's what you call it lol) but here are the things that have been posted to the AO3 so far! I'm ... just going to refer to everyone as my teammates because this is already a lot of coding and I can't handle cross-platform usernames this morning. But you can see their names at the AO3!

Podfics I Have Made in the Last Two-and-a-Half Weeks
- Hearth and Home, a 9-minute Leverage podfic of a story written by my old Team Gluttony teammate lady_ragnell. Three of us from Team Red podficced the same story in week one! That's called repodding or in this case simulpodding and not something I'm usually into but it was for points this time so yay!

- Friendship Bracelet, a 5-minute Babysitters Club podfic. Two of us recorded this!

- a single heartbeat between your two, an 18-minute Rogue One, Jyn/Cassian podfic for our team's week-one anthology around the theme of secrets.

- so shake apart, a 13 minute explicit MCU (Steve/Bucky/Natasha) multivoice podfic also featuring two of my teammates.

- A Very Large Location of Something, an 8-minute gen podfic centered on Maria from The Sound of Music (in week 2 you could get more points for podfic about musicals).

- Valencia Shouldn't Get in a Car with Rebecca!, a 14-minute Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Valencia/Heather podfic.

- Pretty in Mink, a five-minute explicit Princess and the Frog podfic of a story by our own [archiveofourown.org profile] Rubynye.

- gettin' bi (reprise), a five-minute Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Heather/Rebecca multivoice podfic in which I play Heather. My teammates have more lines than I do in this but I'm calling it mine because I organized and edited it. Editing multivoice podfics is harder than you might think, considering how often people do it! They are super fun to listen to though.

- If It's Sewing, She Sews, a 22-minute gen podfic centered on Maria from West Side Story. (This might be my fave of the solo podfics I've made so far this month.)

- Life Doesn't Discriminate, a 21-minute Star Wars gen podfic about Leia after the end of The Last Jedi.

- Reaping the Whirlwind, a seven-minute Joel/Marilyn Northern Exposure podfic and my first experience recording and editing on my phone.

- under your boot-soles, a seven-minute gen podfic about young Adelaide from the movie Us.

Multivoice Podfics in Which I Have Small Parts
- 5 Times Parker Slept in Matt's Bed, +1 Time Matt Slept in Hers, a 23-minute Leverage/Daredevil crossover multivoice podfic. I play Foggy!

- let us sport us while we may, a 15-minute multivoice podfic of the first chapter of a Brooklyn Nine-Nine high school AU. I play Charles!

Also We Made Filks OMG
- My teammates wrote and performed a filk about podficcing based on a song from the musical Bonnie and Clyde, and I did the editing! How 'Bout a Pod?

- My teammate took an old Tumblr post that talks about reading fic with lyrics inspired by "Let It Be" and made it into an awesome filk with lots of people singing: AO3.

- The same teammate organized and edited a Harry Potter filk based on the song "Cell Block Tango" from Chicago, with nine different voices: Spell Block Tango.

- AND she organized and edited a Mandalorian filk based on the song "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast with an incredible 23 different voices, many of them from different voiceteam teams: The Mando and the Kid.

- I sang a filk about shipping written by one of my teammates, based on the song "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid: Kiss the Girl.

FRIENDS, the Us podfic I posted last night is my 500th work on the AO3!!!!! Also last month was my 10-year anniversary of starting to post podfic, and my 15-year anniversary of starting to write fic and interact with people on LJ. I've known some of you for 15 years and I'm so grateful for you!!

Okay, first of all, [personal profile] 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 [community profile] samstevesmallgifts, a lovely low-key fanworks exchange with just one pairing but a lot of my favorite MCU people.
-[personal profile] 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 [profile] 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 [twitter.com profile] 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 [twitter.com profile] 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 [archiveofourown.org profile] olive2read, Stevie/Twyla, 13 minutes, explicit
-in the hack, written by [archiveofourown.org profile] thingswithwings, Alexis/Twyla, 19 minutes, general audiences
-warmest regards., written by [archiveofourown.org profile] helvetica_upstart, Stevie/David, 19 minutes, explicit.

Meanwhile [twitter.com profile] 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 [community profile] amplificathon!

Also the irrepressible [profile] 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 [profile] 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?
sophinisba: Wee Gwen admires wee Merlin's magic! (gwen merlin by el_jamon)
Oh my gosh [community profile] purimgifts 2020! I participated in this challenge way back in the first round in 2008! And again in 2009 and 2011! Then I had some years of writing less and then not writing at all, and then I came back and now this is also a podfic challenge! Hooray!

Thank you so much for signing up to write or podfic one of my fandoms! I am an easygoing fan and I will like what you make! I like gen and most kinds of ships, though for this challenge I would just as soon skip most m/m pairings. I like happy stories and sad stories, h/c, kink, and stories about identity, community, and belief. I enjoy canon and AUs, and if you would like to say "But what if they were Jewish?" about any of these characters I'd go with you there. For the most part I do not like torture in interrogation scenes or cheating in relationships.

fandoms: MCU, Spider-Verse, Rogue One, Little Women, Schitt's Creek, The Good Place )

Want to do some crossovers? Crossovers are also great. You can see some of the other fandoms I'm familiar with here in my journal tags or my AO3 account.

Have fun! I look forward to seeing/hearing what you do!

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 [community profile] 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 )
sophinisba: Hunith and Merlin at a campfire (hunith merlin by slightlytookish)
I was more fannish in 2017 than in 2016, though it was the first year since I got into fandom in 2005 that I didn't write any fic. Three significant things I did this year were:
  • finishing archiving my old podfics

  • attending [community profile] podfication

  • getting interested in Star Wars

2017 in review )

So! Fannish resolutions for 2018:
  • make ten Dreamwidth or Tumblr posts, of which
    • five are not fanworks posts, and

    • five are not in January or December

  • make ten fanworks, of which
    • one is a fic, and

    • one is a podfic of more than an hour

plans for 2018 )

Funny, I did a catch-up post in October for two podficlets I'd done in February and another one from August, but I forgot that I'd also made this other slightly longer one in August:

Traveling Companions cover

Title: Traveling Companions (text, download, and streaming links at the AO3)
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] saellys
Fandom: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Rating: NC-17
Ship(s): Bodhi/Cassian/Jyn
Size: 17 MB, 23:37 minutes
The author's summary for this one has too many paragraphs so I'm just gonna say it's a threesome on Hoth and it's awesome.
Notes: I really love the Rogue One characters you guys.

Then also I participated in the awesome new Podfic Broken Telephone, in which each person makes a podfic inspired by someone else's podfic and then we all get to observe the chains branching out in unexpected ways. [archiveofourown.org profile] Dark_Dreymer had made this great Kirk/Bones hatesex podfic so I decided I would also record some loveless smut from a space fandom... but with ladies! I loved making this! Also I decided to include music because DD had, and that was challenging but I was able to use things I'd learned at a panel about music in podfic at this year's Podfication, and that also made me happy.

Dear podficcer,

Thank you for making something for me! I am a person who used to be active in Merlin fandom and dabbled in a lot of others but has been quiet for a few years. I'm a little nervous to be trying out a challenge again but I love podfic and I've had great experiences with #itpe in the past. I love the mods and the podfic community.

Here is an excerpt from my 2012 #itpe letter which still applies:
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'm a multishipper and I like femslash, boyslash, het, gen, poly, and other kinds of stories. As I said in 2015, I'd just as soon skip white dude/white dude pairings, but that should be pretty easy given these fandoms. :D

fandoms )

Oh podficcer, I hope you have a great time!
