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 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 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 olive2read as Sam and 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 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 Rhea314 posted Discredit & Sequel, a massively multivoice 30-minute Good Omens podfic for which I recorded a line or two at last October's podfication. Multivoice podfics are fun to listen to and you should give this a try!

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?

I also made these three Inception podfics for #itpe!

I also participated in the Podfication 2017 Live Performances event in October! The recording is a little less than two hours and my part is probably about seven minutes, to be honest it was really hard for me to stand up in front of everybody and I can't make myself listen now. But it was still a really cool evening and there is the link. There are a bunch of other cool performances too! The story I read was "The L Word", Luna Lovegood gen that I wrote for lgbtfest in 2009.

( Thoughts )

Ooh, I was just going to say I hope merlin_holidays runs again because I'd like to participate again, and it looks like signups open tomorrow! I need to think about what I want to request ack. Also gosh that deadline is going to come up quickly. But anyway yay Merlin!!!


Sign-ups for merlin_holidays begin Sept 22 at 10 am Eastern

I made a set of four podfics for amplificathon and for the current "Pick One Kink" mini-challenge at kink_bingo. The kink I picked is "spaces, scenes, and settings" and the scene/setting I picked is SPACE!

Details and mp3 downloads below. The set came out to 33 and a half minutes. Once it occurred to me I could not resist calling it "Rare ships were meant to fly", even though Doctor/River is not actually a rare ship. (That one also keeps it from being a set of four "space AUs but what are you gonna do, it's awesome.) All download links take you to MediaFire pages.

And here are two more pod_aware blurbs that I'm not up to metaing on right now, though I will say that I ♥ podfic fandom liek whoa:

• For many of us, podfic is more than just a fanwork, it's a community. We form friendships, support each other, discuss our shared passions and push each other to new forms and heights of creativity. To find out more information on podfic and podfic fandom, check out Pod Aware on DW, LJ or Tumblr.


• With the increasing number of podfics out there, it can sometimes be hard to navigate to find the ones that best suit you. Recs are great way to find podfics well-loved by others or share the gems you already know and love. To find out more information on podfic and podfic recs, check out Pod Aware on DW, LJ or Tumblr.
