Fandoms (all are fine for both creating and receiving):


The Flash (2014 TV series) 
Arrow (TV Series)
DC's Legends of Tomorrow
Supergirl (TV Series)
Smallville
Marvel Cinematic Universe through Endgame
Harry Potter (series) minus Cursed Child, also saw the first Fantastic Beasts film once. I'm very anti-JKR and critical of a lot of aspects of the series that are flawed, but more especially am against financially supporting her or people still following her on twitter etc. I have been aware of her transphobic bigotry for years and have been firmly against her TERF views all along, and yet there is so much powerful fic out there that is trans affirming even and I have decided, similar to much of the Harry Potter and the Sacred Text podcast community, to not completely disavow the fandom but to still stay in the fandom with caveats and a critical eye and all of  that.

Also: A fanfic even in a fandom I don't know where asexuality or aromanticism is explored in a way I don't need to know the fandom to follow, I would really enjoy a lot as well. :) I already have received one gift like that for my birthday a couple years ago and it was wonderful!


Details about my specific requests within these fandoms are listed below, and then you'll see my really long lists of loves, and finally my long explanation of squicks (with content notes/trigger warnings before that "squicks" part so that you can skip just the last part of my letter if you need to)! I just rearranged my letter to be in this order to add in the content note section, hopefully the letter doesn't refer "back" to things that are "forward" too much but if it does that is why.

The tv shows after the tildes (~~~) are fandoms I have no specific comments on, anything at all in that fandom works for me as a podfic. 

I tried to limit my fandoms this year a bit from previous years, I swear. It is a shorter list with more of what I feel extra in the mood to give or receive.

I'd adore receiving something in any of these. I love fandoms that haven't been podficced before getting podfic'd. etc. These all are fandoms with enough fics that I think are worth podficcing?


Hey there, podficcer! ;) I'm excited to be participating in this exchange for the fourth time. I'm sorry for the long length of this letter. Please bear with me. ;) I just... figured more details might help rather than hurt? I will enjoy whatever you gift to me though! It's important to me that you LIKE the experience of making a podfic for me, so please remember to pick something you personally want to spend time and effort creating and that will be fun and feel worth it.Also please note that a lot of this letter was written in past years and I may have accidentally not updated certain parts? I hope I caught most of what needed updating.

For the past 3 years I've had so much fun with ITPE, and I made 9 total podfics those years, including some of the podfics I'm most proud of ever creating. I currently have created 24 podfics, and have a 25th one that's so close to being finished and posted, so I'll try to do that within the coming week or something. Both of the past two years ITPE has overlapped with unexpected deaths of people in my life and I've dealt with extreme grief and not really being myself... anyway hopefully this year will work out easier for me on a number of levels and I can just have fun these ITPE months.

Note that below I mention a few times that I also engage with fandom as a fanfic writer, and as a vidder. Vidding is the main way I do fandom, and because of that for each fandom I've linked to a playlist or a vid or something that is an example of me vidding it so that you can get more of a feel of me when it comes to that fandom. ;) That being said, if all I've vidded is 1 or 2 pairings that doesn't mean I want to restrict you to that pairing. In fact, I probably would be very happy especially for all the fandoms at the bottom with no specific details listed if you did remind me of the other aspects of the TV show that I also love. So podfic a fic about whatever inspires you! If I was picky I would've told you!! I truly want any possible podfic in those fandoms.

So about my fave characters & ships, and other preferences, within fandoms!

The Flash - I've only seen seasons 1-3 plus the first few eps of season 4 plus select scenes from fanvideos, I'm not worried about spoilers but would like to be able to follow the story you choose for me so if it's based heavily on plot points from seasons I haven't seen, I might get confused is all.

Arrow - I've only seen seasons 1-5 plus the first few eps of season 6 plus select scenes from fanvideos, I'm not worried about spoilers but would like to be able to follow the story you choose for me so if it's based heavily on plot points from seasons I haven't seen, I might get confused is all.

Supergirl - I've only seen seasons 1-2 plus the first few eps of season 3 plus select scenes from fanvideos, I'm not worried about spoilers but would like to be able to follow the story you choose for me so if it's based heavily on plot points from seasons I haven't seen, I might get confused is all.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow - I've only seen seasons 1-2 plus the first few eps of season 3 plus select scenes from fanvideos, I'm not worried about spoilers but would like to be able to follow the story you choose for me so if it's based heavily on plot points from seasons I haven't seen, I might get confused is all.

The Hunger Games - I finally read the books and watched the films in summer 2018, strongly prefer the books to the films, I adore the whole fandom and ship Peeta/Katniss hard, but I kinda headcanon Katniss as aroace, and too much kissing or sex for her especially will kinda squick me because of my headcanons, even if most fic doesn't write her with my headcanon. I love the idea of a podfic exploring any character or rare ship and if you were gonna do sex or kissing for Katniss or really any characters my vote would be my crack AU OTP of Madge/Katniss as femslash for sure. I love the thought of them in any kind of more shippy way including 100% unrequited, including grief over Madge's death, all sorts of potential there. I haven't even checked to see if fics exist for that ship but it's just a thought. I also just love Finnick a lot as a character. For pod-together that year I then wrote Haymitch and Peeta gen that I'm pretty proud of. I really have barely dipped my toes into all that fanfiction in this fandom has to offer, for any character or ship, but I'd love a gift that surprised me and showed me what I'm missing out on. Podfic in this fandom would certainly be special.

Harry Potter - see my note above about JKR and my complicated feelings about still participating in this fandom. As for interests, lately I've been really interested in seeing an exploration of Luna & Harry as friends or as queerplatonic partners, but maybe I might like a cute shipping fic too for them. I love a pretty wide variety in this fandom but I'm mainly into Maurauders or maybe next-gen, or canon-fill in the blanks, or canon compliant but immediately after the war/after the books. Anything Harry is a good thing - adult Harry always makes me happy but I feel for him at any age. I'm NOT a fan of Snape, especially in ships, haven't really given fics featuring him enough of a chance perhaps though so if you want to convince me with a gift... I prefer gen the most and but I do like Remus/Sirius (Wolfstar) and Draco/Harry as ships. Also like Sirius & Remus gen though! It was finally experiencing them through podfic helped get me into those ships actually. I also do ship Harry/Ginny somewhat, also like the idea of aromantic and/or asexual Harry, half see Ginny/Harry more platonically as great friends (or exes who still like each other as people) or as a comfortable marriage but I'd be squicked out by sex here, by any Harry sex really although I'm almost used to it happening in Drarry podfics now. I like fics exploring aromantic and/or asexual Luna too or otherwise queer Luna (any orientation besides straight works for me for her), queer next-gen characters... I've read bi Lily Evans too which can be fun... Generally pretty happy with queering any women in HP to not even be attracted to men at all or to be bi or pan... Like I said before I could ship Harry/Luna but in my head they're both possibly ace so them being into each other sexually as the heart of the story probably would not be my thing. Anything dealing with the Dursleys would be great as long as it's ANTI the abuse. I related to Harry as an abused child and love. Maybe Dobby or Winky explorations?? I'm pretty open here so... surprise me? Oh and Fred and George stuff, all the Weasleys have a special place in my heart so much of the time... And McGonagall, femslash or gen or anything would make me happy with her... idk I'm really all over the place with this fandom. I like Cho, I like all the Triwizard competitors... I like a lot of the characters. (Not familiar with Cursed Child nor Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.) I love stories that go really dark into grief and/or other trauma. Lupin is one of my favorite characters too and he went through so much.

Grey's Anatomy & Private Practice - So I added this to my ITPE list in 2018 but this is COMPICATED for me to narrow down, um. Per my squicks, I... um... for this fandom I don't want to listen to podfics about sexual stuff. The show is very full of sex-motivated characters and I can deal if a story talks briefly about how one character finds another distractingly gorgeous but for a gift for me I don't want the fic to be focused much on sexual feelings. I think I can handle a lot more in canon or even fanvideos than the fanfiction, if that makes any sense. I have a bunch of OTPs that are ripping each other's clothes off in canon and yet yes I still adore them in canon. They love each other in ways I can somehow relate to. I feel so much empathy/ I can live vicariously through them. I love the other aspects of who they are and appreciate the sexuality as part of who they clearly are in canon too but when I go to fanfic or podfics to escape to my happy fandom place I want a place where my sex-averse self isn't ignored as a possibility for human interactions. There are SO many places the fics could go. Find one that fits my tastes and doesn't meet too many of my squicks in fic stuff generally and I'll be really appreciative. There's a reason I haven't read as much GA and PrP fic as I'd like. So okay I love... almost everyone. My NOTPs include kinda Mark/Lexie, I really don't love them when everyone goes, George/Izzie I hated, I'm very upset with Alex getting back together with Izzie in season 16 canon so while I used to like them I hate that with a passion (a fix-it fic that's better to us Jo/Alex fans would be such a great gift)... I hate Owen/Teddy. Those are some of the ships I dislike. But my ships and OTPs on this show are almost every other pairing, even rare pairings are interesting to see explored. I also would love gen podfics. You could go back to fics written many many seasons ago and still find really good stuff about complicated non-biological parenting stuff, as there are so many plots. Or about finding/reconnecting with biological family later as an adult? I would love to see explorations of survivor's guilt in characters, extreme life/death stakes for beloved characters, all sorts of fics like that. I'm not gonna list favorite ships or characters because truly I love almost everyone. Even characters people tend to hate. Just throw it all at me with toned down sex and I'm totally in. Fun and light would be enjoyed as well. Or go as dark and intense as you want. Private Practice I might rewatch the whole show sometime too. Oh I've vidded that show too...  see this playlist. And for Grey's Anatomy I have a whole playlist too.

Gilmore Girls - Please give me anything at all in this fandom. Seriously. I'd probably prefer Rory stuff over Lorelai stuff, but still, there is nothing in this fandom, as long as you avoid my general squicks above, that I won't be really excited to see podficced. It's sorely underpodficced and with the revival that came out last year I've been in such a mood for this fandom.  I am happy I've gotten a small amount of Gilmore Girls stuff in ITPE in the past!! :) Don't worry, btw, about a "set in the future" Gilmore Girls fic that was written pre-revival being contradicted, understandably, by the new canon future in the revivial. I don't expect it to be rivival-compatible. XD On the other hand... i haven't read much revival based fic yet, I mainly stuck to fanvideos, so a revival based podfic for me would be so much fun. I love a lot of things in this fandom. If you want to know, my #1 OTP of all time, out of all of my fandoms, is Rory/Jess. I really adore them. I also like Lorelai/Christopher a LOT, not in the endgame sense but in the exploration of what they were and are?? I guess. I feel they are really great together overall, in many ways, and also similarly flawed people who fundamentally "Get" each other a lot of the time?? XD I support endgame Lorelai/Luke - and Luke/Lorelai fics I never read enough of, since I was always in the vidding side of fandom and when I did read Gilmore Girls fanfic it was almost always Rory/Jess lol. I also love Paris and Lane and any ship you want to give either girl, het or femslash. I don't mind other canon Rory or Lorelai ships explored in fic form. Any Gilmore Girls podfic would be wonderful even if it's anti-my ship or whatever...  or original characters explored with Rory either. Jess character studies or exploration of his family relationships is everything to me.  Jess & Luke people!! Rory & Lorelai as daughter & mother!! So much good gen potential. No incest, duh, but there is so much good stuff you could do for me. This fandom means so much to me and I doubt I'll match with anyone on it but yeah. I figured I'd list my preferences just in case. MissGoalie75, btw, is one of my favorite Gilmore Girls authors ever, actually authors for any fandom I have in common with her... she's on FFN, AO3, and tumblr (maybe more places?) and idk if she'll let you podfic her stuff but her taste in writing, especially for Gilmore Girls, is really in line with mine. Even her bookmarks/faves are a good place to look. I found some of my other favorite authors that way. XD Gilmore Girls is in many ways my first fandom and still kinda a main fandom. You may have noticed I once wrote an epistolary fic for pod-together in this fandom about Lorelai(/Chris,&unborn Rory), Jess(&kinda Liz), Paris(& her nanny, mentions of Rory), and Lane(/Dave, mentions of Henry and Rory and Mrs. Kim). I've also written quite a bit of other Gilmore Girls fanfiction stuff years ago, and I have blanket permission for people to podfic any of my own fics, so I'd love receiving that as a gift too. ;) With A Year In The Life, I don't feel the shipping of Rory/Jess as simply anymore. I prefer a really really slow burn towards their romance rekindling if AYITL is included as background. I possibly fell more for Logan/Rory in the revival even. I have a lot of complicated upset feelings about the revival that have slowly thawed over the past 2 years I've had to recover from the frustration and disappointment. I relate to Rory's personality a lot, as much as ever... Um... Idk. It's just messy and huge. I feel the same way about all this now as I did back last year...

Criminal Minds - At one point, I got part way through watching the series through for literally the third time. I'm still intending to vid it more ... um... eventually. I've been writing an ace!Reid fic I never finished mainly about grief and stuff over Maeve and idk. I need to finish writing that. I honestly love every season, every character, idk. You name it? I probably see something positive about it. I don't mind if you record a fic written back when season 1 or 2 was airing. I'm happy with a fic about the later seasons as well, even with the whole cast shake-up. Sexual stuff in this fandom squicks me out a little more than in other fandoms, because I'm so not used to it, ESPECIALLY for non-canonical orientations for the characters? Honestly even het sex will probably squick me out a lot in this fandom. Femslash sex might be the option I'm personally least averse to. Generally speaking, I love how asexual and/or platonic this fandom is in canon, The fact that the characters are interested in sex is such subtext or not really the point most episodes, so as an ace fan I can just ignore that side to these characters a lot of the time, and kind of let myself forget that sexual attraction exists? XD I think of Emily, Garcia, Rossi, and Morgan as explicitly into sex and the rest I kind of pretend don't have sex lives. I'm torn on my feelings for Garcia/Morgan but i think Morgan doesn't reciprocate sexual attraction for Garcia so that's why it makes me uncomfortable if a fic assumes he does without any buildup.  I think they have a wonderful queerplatonic level bond though. Favorite CM fanfics are the ones explores gen (meaning non-romance), or explores PG-romances. I mean, the show is very violent and rated TV-14 most of the time -- the fic you choose to podfic can be similarly extreme in terms of that kind of thing, or possibly worse -- feel free to podfic something rated R or rated MA for violence/gore and I'll be fine. I love Reid finding love, with original characters or canon characters, but I especially don't want to hear a fic about his sex life in more than a vague way, since I am pretty attached to the common headcanon that he is asexual. Other characters I accept as more sexual lol... I'll live with some sex... and I like all of the characters, ALL of them, including the single-season characters. I love this whole show. My main NOTPs that I really don't like as a ship despite their popularity are Reid/JJ and Garcia/Morgan. Reid/JJ I also have complicated feelings about but I  would be open to a slow burn explanation of them working, I just don't feel it when they are assumed. My favorite ships are Kevin/Penelope, Will/JJ, Reid/Maeve, Reid/Lila, Hotch/Beth, Rossi/Blake, Reid/Ashley Seaver,  JJ/Hotch, Reid/his new girlfriend at end of show (I'm blanking on her name), Alvez/Garcia... and also femslash between any of the main women, literally any combination. JJ/Emily is probably the easiest femslash-wise to find fics on. And I do enjoy Morgan/Reid and Hotch/Rossi. I prefer Morgan&Reid and Hotch&Rossi as almost queerplatonic-partner-level best friends, maybe JJ&Emily that way too, but that's harder to find in fic than just shippiness so I'll live if it's pretty shippy. Just remember my 15% sex-related part general guideline if possible. Finally I have a ton of love for Ashley Seaver, Alex Blake, Maeve... Even Kate... these often forgotten women. 

Glee - I'm very open to many things in this fandom. They haven't changed since past years. Except with Naya Rivera's death anything with Santana will hit differently and I'd also love to see an exploration of Santana dying in a story if anyone has written that... more in the sense of the grief of the surviving characters. I really don't like Finn as gay or bi, is maybe the main squick I have. Puck, Will, Mercedes, Tina... I also don't really see at all as non-straight. Yes to minor characters being explored in well-written things that feel in character. Yes as well to main characters being explored in that way too. I'm not averse to heavy angst or grief stuff, OR on the other hand the crack! fics and crazy silliness. This fandom can go in so many different directions so well, I've realized over the years. It used to be one of my main fandoms for writing in, reading in, podficcing in, consuming podfic in, etc. I haven't actually branched out as much when it comes to my own writing or podficcing as I could. I'd be happy branching out more. There are so many options, really... I would love to be exposed to some good post-season 6 explorations of Rachel/Sam as endgame or, alternately, how endgame Rachel/Jesse came to be. I adore Quinn/Puck as an OTP. I do ship Emma/Will, but I don't mind anti-Will sentiments either, in fact I really can enjoy super contradictory interpretations of a character like him that half the fandom despises and the other half adores. I kinda like it all, even the really negative interpretations. I like both Klaine and Kurtofsky and similarly also don't mind anti-Klaine stuff in Karofsky based fics or anti-Karofsky stuff in Klaine fics, even if I aand Marley/Jake, but don't mind Marley/Ryder either. Marley/Kitty I'm not super familiar with but probably could grow to love especially if it's only 15% or less sex scenes. XD I love Beiste in every form, including definitely fics from pre-season 6 and him transitioning to male. I kind of don't like that he was made trans, from a writing perspective, because for 4 seasons Shannon Beiste was a non-gender conforming woman who was comfortable with her gender presentation and just had other issues when it came to things like her love life. I loved that character. The twist didn't feel right to me, especially compared to her line "Deep down inside, I'm just a girl" in season 2. If you record a Beiste fic with female pronouns I will enjoy it. Nothing transphobic, just that she's a gender-nonconforming cis woman in that fic. Rachel mourning Finn really gets to me (in a really good way! I love it), and I like Finchel and Brittana and most of the canon ships. Exploring what Finn/Quinn actually were is fun, even when Quinn is shown in a somewhat harsh light I like it, actually all the characters I don't mind some criticism of. XD They are not perfect people. Hummel-Hudson family fics or fics including Burt and/or Carole are my weakness. I adore them so much. I like to interpret Quinn as heteroromantic bisexual OR as more broadly bi/pan since she did like sex with Santana enough to want to try again!! XD and Santana as homoromantic bisexual, or maybe demiromantic but bi. :P To clarify, this means Santana/male ships are actually pretty okay with me as long as it's clear in the story that she's bi. I know in canon she's a lesbian so it's complicated but just... she seemed to actually like sex with men enough in my interpretation of season 1 canon that I like going in this direction with her. I don't mind the idea of bisexual Blaine either. It was almost canon in season 2, anyway. I like to interpret Marley and Beiste as asexual, and Kurt and Emma as demisexuals or gray-asexuals. None of these interpretations are required -- they're pretty rare lol. But I'm not the only one to interpret a lot of the characters this way. OH! and I also have read and adored every single Karofsky & Santana or Karofsky/Santana fic in existence, at least on AO3 and FFN as of a few years ago when fics about them were more commonly written and I was going through my own internalized acephobia/trying to be straight/wishing I was straight. I adore these fics, and in a way "ship" this couple hard. They are canon beards and the fics respect that they are a gay man and a lesbian character who aren't actually attracted to each other, generally speaking. The point is the complexity of what them "dating" really might mean gets to be explored!! The point is angst and character study and internalized homophobia and overt homophobia from families and pining over Kurt and Brittany and all of it. The point is unexpectedly finding a friendship sometimes. :P

Sherlock (BBC) - Got into this fandom years late, in 2016. Have received podfic for ITPE in this fandom before and really loved it!  Around then had been reading TJLC meta like crazy haha. Not that I actually truly bought The Johnlock Conspiracy. But it was always fascinating.  Since catching up on all 10 episodes that existed, I binge watched Johnlock fanvideos mainly, and started getting into some not overly explicit, Johnlock and sometimes gen or other ship fics and podfics. Many of them have made me so happy. And now I've seen and enjoyed series 4 as well, everyone hated it and I was so far behind and thoroughly prepared for it being bad so by the time I saw it I was pleasantly surprised by the stuff in there for me to still love, I don't even know. I love John, and I love Sherlock, each of them as characters so much, that I guess I forgive a lot when it comes to this show. I've always been a sucker for grief or  non-traditional parenting situations so s4 would give plenty of fodder there... You definitely do not have to be British to perform in this fandom, I've seen some ridiculous sentiments around, but as an American myself who might record in this fandom, like... come on people. Obviously any accent is gonna have to be fine because this is a podfic exchange and regardless of what country you're from, you're stuck with me? But I want to make it especially clear that I really don't care about accents, and if it's between this fandom and another one, don't let accent be a deciding factor! Just let it be what you'll have the most fun with. Johnlock is essentially my OTP, although I have trouble categorizing if I actually ship them or not. I mainly prefer the interpretation that John is maybe bi, maybe straight, whatever... but Sherlock is ace, romantic orientation not really important, maybe aro, and that they love each other as more queerplatonic partners than anything. That being said I don't know if there are very many fics like that out there. i listened to every Sherlock as asexual podfic I could find   on AO3 tagged with both asexuality and podfic (asexual character etc falls under the parent tag asexuality for search purposes) but not one podfic of that type included the word queerplatonic lol... I love the idea of hearing a new podfic about Sherlock being gay but John being straight so, aw, incompatible orientations, or John being bi and wanting Sherlock but Sherlock being aroace so again, incompatible.  I've heard stories like that where Sherlock us very much gay romantically and they still are compatible and bi John is happy with ace Sherlock. But I'd prefer one where the most they can be is what they are in canon, which is like... the most important person in each other's lives, canonically loving each other whether that love is platonic or romantic or has any sexual tinges to it or not doesn't really matter?  no kissing? My head canon... Yeah I need to write a fic. I like established romantic-together-Johnlock in the background of another plot because it is less likely to be overly sexual and hit my squick sensors too often. I like so many possible things in this fandom too, just thinking about it, character study for anyone really could be cool, a fic about families, a fic about Sherlock's self-destructive behaviors and addictions, a fic about John's depression or traumas... I kinda like the idea of Greg Lestrade/Molly but haven't read any fics yet. I actually really love Molly's character and would love an exploration of her - or Mrs. Hudson perhaps? There's so many directions you could go with this fandom and making something for me.  See this little playlist of collab parts and multifandoms that include the show. I especially recommend my "Shout" vid about my queerplatonic relationship and my video essay on celibacy & nonamory in TV... I think those are the most I've ever vidded Johnlock...

White Collar - At one point I'd exhausted listening to every single Gen White Collar fic on the audiofic archive... which makes me sad! More White Collar gen would be the best!! Lol. I adore Peter&Neal as much as anyone and if it has to be slash rather than gen I probably can enjoy it too. I also didn't realize till my most recent rewatch just how much I really love Mozzie and the extremely deep bond Mozzie&Neal have? Honestly I think the true QPPs of this show are not, as many of my ace friends might like to think, Neal&Peter. Neal/Peter are close friends and partners in work, sure. They are the heart of the series and own my soul, always will. Maybe they're queerplatonic level friendship emotionally. But the platonic partners in life? The queerplatonic in terms of practical measurements/in term of committment?? Mozzie&Neal. Also Mozzie is not conventionally attractive (and I am not, either) and in hindsight that makes me want to pay more attention to him from a fannish perspective. I've also noticed Mozzie is somewhat desexualized/not allowed enough of a love life in canon so anything that explores him more, gives him more fair treatment in the love life department, etc is likely to be something I'd enjoy. In addition, I really like Dianna, Jones, June, Elizabeth, all the characters, I know people OT3 Elizabeth/Neal/Peter and that's not my biggest thing but I could enjoy a fic about them, etc, etc. I'm pretty flexible with this fandom for sure. Canon ship wise my OTP is actually Alex/Neal. I liked Sara/Neal, I don't ship Rebecca/Neal after the reveal of who she is. I never really cared about Kate/Neal that much but I love exploring his grief. Alex is such a great character though?? XD Idk. I just FEEL things for them. I prefer the headcanon that Peter/Elizabeth were happily and purposefully childfree so I didn't like the twist that they had a baby in the season 6, that they were happy and excited to be pregnant?? (And don't get me started on that baby's name, lmao?) And oh, yeah, I didn't actually like the series finale at all? XD My heart is broken. But if you record a fix-it fic about the finale and stuff for me I would eat that up so quickly.

Pretty Little Liars - Oh gosh, this show. I binge watched seasons 1-6a in 2015, just in time for ITPE and then watched seasons 6b-7a before 2016's ITPE. I waited till season 7 was airing before I finally caught up on 6b. After that I was pretty good at keeping up with it as it aired till it ended. Overall, on average, I watched it at a record pace lol. I kept up with vidding it for a couple years there in my recent fandom memory. My absolute OTPs that I was hoping would be endgame are Alison/Emily (yay that they did, and yes it's complicated that I see Alison as abusive and manipulative and possibly with the same mental illnesses as my abusive mom but I still loved my OTP), Spencer/Caleb (sadly they did not work out), and Jason/Aria (sorta, if I had to pick an Aria ship). I know Spaleb is hated but oh my gosh I adored them so much. I also will always love Toby/Spencer but... I also kind of liked the idea of them breaking up for a reasonable, realistic reason and them growing into their new respective romances? XD But I was also happy they were endgame. Toby is the sweetest person and I loved his characterization until the end and hated SO much that the series finale did more horrible stuff to Toby... This is what I wrote up two years ago, and it all still applies: I would probably enjoy hearing a podfic about anybody at all. This fandom has no podfic and so many awesome ladies and so many amazing characters that I don't even know how they do it. I mean how can they have THAT MANY well developed characters who I'm invested in? My absolute faves are Spencer, and Emily... and Toby, and Alison, and Caleb, and Mike. Yes Mike, I don't care how rare that is to be a fave... Oh yeah, and I totally adore Jason and like Wren a lot too... and find Cece kind of fascinating... I love those characters all so much and anything including them in some capacity would be fun. Crack ships that are het or femslash would make me thrilled as well in this fandom... anything "out there" would be fun. Maybe male slash Caleb/Toby lol. But also you know me, filling in the blanks of canon is also my jam, like one of my favorite things ever. :P I am not super anti- any ships. I don't really ship Aria/Ezra though. So happy endings for them don't do much for me. It's fine if they're part of a larger story or a multi-ship story or a sub-part of some good gen... but if the whole focus is gonna be on just 1 ship, I'd rather you do any other ship. Anyway I have so many feels about this fandom and it has more fic on fanfiction.net btw than AO3, definitely consider looking there?? XD Any podfic at all, even for ships I don't care much about, would be amazing to receive in this fandom though.

Shameless (US Version) - anything would make me happy in this fandom. I finally caught up through season 9 and I'm hoping to watch season 10 soon - I don't know if I really will, but if you find a newer fic to podfic that's fine. My favorite characters are Lip and Fiona and Ian all tied in first place, followed closely by Debbie, then Carl. I love the Gallagher family so much. I know Ian/Mickey is the most popular thing by far. I would enjoy a podfic about them, for sure. I tend to like the less popular things slightly more, however. My #1 OTP used to be Lip/Karen and that got usurped probably by Lip/Sierra... and now I like Lip/Tami even more. They are great. I REALLY love Ian/Trevor, that relationship means a lot to me... I second guess it as one of my OTPs because I see no one else shipping them but I have a massive squish on the actor who plays Trevor and think Ian/Trevor were great... and my crack OTP that I adore the idea of is Mandy/Karen. Seriously though I have the biggest crush-like-feeling (which is super rare for my aro-spec ace self) on Elliot Fletcher in everything he does so Trevor in any Shameless fic would be such an amazing thing to be introduced to. I enjoy all of Fiona's 4 main canon ships in their own ways but I mainly love her character best in moments relating to her family, including her angst with her parents - or just character study for her? I would be thrilled if you recorded anything in this fandom for me, and don't forget about the option of doing Gen. But I really do like it all. I also have a lot of feels of relating to a lot of the Gallaghers' feelings toward their mother Monica and after the end of season 6 there might've been more interesting fics written that I haven't come across that explore that fraught dynamic and set of emotions the children have. Shameless is one of the most accurate portrayals I've seen in almost anything of what it's like to grow up with a mentally ill mother who didn't get treatment and failed at her job of being a mother and I appreciate that and would love to hear a podfic about it. 

The Fosters & Good Trouble - These fandom are favorite super high up there material. When I was dating someone in 2019-2020 and I had to pick just one show I love to show them, I picked The Fosters. I have so many feels around this series and when I finally got around to watching Good Trouble, it REALLY impressed me with its progressive politics plus various things they chose to include that they never included in The Fosters - a Former Foster Youth character in Malika, good bi representation with Gael, a trans woman featured regularly, etc etc. I love both shows so much. Seriously I know The Fosters, especially, inside out, I've rewatched a lot of the episodes, some many times. I really know it very well. Anything NOT Brandon/Callie would make me happiest in this fandom. I just simply don't ship them. I love all of the other canon ships... and the family bonds and friendships... I also don't mind Callie & Brandon as friends. I've been keeping up with everything and I now feel the show was actually in many ways quite ableist, especially after reading these reviews: http://toniasays.blogspot.com/search/label/ableism (first posted to tumblr too, let me know if you want the link) and I would love to hear a fic that didn't endorse ableist tendencies toward anyone including Jesus. I... am not the biggest fan of Jude's characterization since he started smoking pot essentially. I feel like they changed him too much. But in the 3 part series finale I liked what they did with Jude's character and for pod-together this year I am really glad a Jude fic is one of the two fics I collaborated on. As I just mentioned in the Shameless part directly above like... I love Aaron so much as a character in this show. I mainly like Gen on this show but I also would like explorations of most of the canon ships... OH and um. So like I also mention below with One Tree Hill, basically after the traumatic life event that happened to me last November I would love to see more explorations of the messiness of Nick as a character AFTER the plots where he seems on the edge of shooting a gun in, um, a few different contexts. Jesus and Mariana both know him well and the show kinda glosses over a lot of what these characters might be going through and I have NOT read enough fic to know if any fics containing Nick at ALL exist but if they do think about doing a podfic for it. I welcome diving into angst or inner conflict for any character POV and about anything on this show but also like. I have a lot of feelings regarding Nick. It actually seemed like more ableism stuff with the way they decided to hint at schizophrenia even for a second or two of that plot and idk. Theoretically I can imagine fics going a lot of possible directions there. 

Smallville - Like I said for past years in ITPE... anything EXCEPT sexual/slashy Clex would be good. That's my one veto, if possible? Friendship Clark&Lex being fine. I know the show very well and appreciate every single canon ship, and if you want to do an AU ship, as long as it's not the very popular Clex I'll be happy. :P  I host a Smallville collab group over on YouTube and I have vidded Clana the most but really do know the entire show really well, and I have enjoyed fanfiction for Chlark, Clois, Lexana. I haven't read very much at all in this fandom though so... surprise me. You can do minor characters, less popular ships, whatever... AUs... I know this show's canon inside and out but know nothing of the fanon really. (I mainly am used to vidding fandom which is almost entirely het so sometimes it's shocking to me how Clex-heavy other parts of Smallville fandom are, like the podfic side.) And then in ITPE 2017 I was paired with someone who LOVES Clex, lol see my notes about this whole situation here in a short podfic I dedicated to dancinbutterfly for ITPE as NOT my main gift but a side gift... http://archiveofourown.org/works/9165361XD I did start a longer podfic of Clark/Lex in a non-sexual romance?? Unless it was queerplatonic? the year before that and that is one podfic I hope to finish editing eventually... Anyway I would prefer het or gen and would love exploration of female characters or something, but really just anything would be fine.

Good Omens - I'd prefer asexual Aziraphale, he's my favorite and I'm most attached to him ideally being ace. I loved the miniseries. Haven't read the book. I love all the characters and alsor especially loved Anaethema actually (and not only because the actress is really pretty... But... Also she is. ;) ). I haven't really properly dipped my toe fully into this fandom yet despite how much people adore it in the ace and aro communities And think of it as canon queerplatonic rep and all of it. Honestly I don't think I loved the miniseries as much as I was hoping to after all the hype but I definitely liked it a lot. I'm a blank slate pretty much fandom wise so pick any story you love and I'll enjoy it a ton I'm sure. 

9-1-1 & 9-1-1: Lonestar: I definitely am rooting for Buck/Eddie in maybe a romantic way. I feel like they hinted at Buck canonically having a chance of being bi and got so excited. I love Eddie & Christopher's adorable father&son dynamic. I love T.K. the most probably on the other show, or his father (Rob Lowe is amazing) and together they also are everything to me. I hated how rushed the storyline with T.K. being shot was. I really love Maddie/Chimney a lot too, and Michael Grant is one of my super underratedfaves...i would enjoy literally any character or ship in a podfic but sex stuff would probably squick me out is all. I love the original show so much and the spinoff is growing on me. 

~~~

For all of the rest of my fandoms above: I'm not picky. ;) I usually sure have my own OTPs but it doesn't matter. Just give me whatever inspires YOU. I don't really have NOTPs in these, at least not for PODFIC as a medium. I just really want something, ANYTHING, from these fandoms with very very few podfics. My general guidelines above about squicks vs. what I love still apply, but if you want to record something that deals with one of my squicks in any of the below fandoms I'll still be happy because the fandom is rarely podficced and because I generally like the whole fandom.


~~~


Some of the MANY things I really love in podfics:

Incorporating music/special sound effects into podfics? Very fun. XD Including an audio clip from canon or something? Anything like that is extra and therefore of course not expected, but I generally really love it. 

META! Meta about any of these fandoms being recorded or being incorporated as part of a fanfic is a huge thing I'd love. I really love podcasts in general, analysis of fandom from a more non-fiction or literary analysis POV, thoughts on characters, continuity, shipping, and so much more. You may notice one of my Criminal Minds podfics is a "metafiction" story? These kinds of things that kinda break the fourth wall? I really love them.

Crossovers between multiple fandoms I know well, like especially the ones here on this list? XD I also know everything in this google doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VwTwS86mDSYBvo3m84Qs786bA6PClX6ehETUf37ciBU/edit?usp=sharing so anything that creatively combines fandoms I know would probably be fun.

I love canon-based fics, filling in the blanks of canon, giving us scenes we never got on the show but should've, giving us scenes we did get but from inside a different point of view, etc, etc.

Subset of that: Exploring a possible future down the line for all the characters (or a select one character, whatever) that is consistent with canon! XD

Another subset of that: Exploring canon-compliant backstory, jumping back to a time prior to the canon essentially. ;) So much fun!

I love extreme angst and drama. I'm not afraid of a non-happy ending, a major character death even if non-canonical, a fic all about grief, about sexual assault or about some other kind of extreme trauma if dealt with as appropriately serious and in a realistic way. 

I also love cute fluffiness. Honestly I'm pretty easy to please. :P Happy endings make me happy too. Etc. I don't desperately need them, but I can 100% adore them. I can squee over the happy feels like the best fangirls, I swear.

I love fics dealing with child abuse and/or being a survivor of it because I myself am a survivor of my mother's abuse and even if I can't relate exactly to creation stories about fathers or whoever being abusive I can often relate to parts of it and I really love that experience, it's cathartic and I love different people's take on it in fanfiction. 

Medical shows in general are my jam, or at least used to be and I still enjoy them regularly enough, and those often are heavy on the canon illness related angst. I tend to enjoy anything dealing with disabililty, illness, or even terminal diagnosis. My very first fanfic I ever wrote (a decade ago) explored a beloved character having a stroke (surviving it but realistically disabled).

I don't shy away from suicidal thoughts/depression either in fics. Those fics can be amazing. Lots of my favorite characters struggle in that way. 

I like fics about grief and loss including any of the hardest types of deaths to talk about.

I love fics that explore coming out or understanding/figuring out a character's own queerness, or the process of questioning, coming to terms with it, embracing it, etc etc. Any form of queerness. Including of course asexuality, or ace-spectrum stuff, or aromantic-spectrum stuff, as those things are super personal to me... I really adore them... but also any other form of queerness, like being gay or bi or trans etc... :P I actually really love these stories for any identity.

I like hurt/comfort when well written, if it seems in character. I often seek it out because I love the trope and then am disappointed by characterization? I want the characters to still be the characters I recognize. But taking care of someone when ill or injured or psychologically traumatized is definitely something I enjoy a lot.

I LOVE adoption or fostering in fics. I hope to become a foster parent and later an adoptive parent someday. Kids' POV, parent's POV, whatever, I love these stories.

Pregnancy in an anatomically realistic way (so no m!preg) is something I tend to really really love fics about. This includes the really angsty or at least complicated/nuanced stuff authors can play with: miscarriage, deciding to place a baby for adoption, abortion, the physical pain of childbirth, etc - or it can just be happy. Whatever. I have generally positive reactions to pregnancy in fics, however it plays out, and I've mostly avoided reading m!preg. 

Gender swap stuff or anything that really explores gender in a unique way within a story is wonderful. That inlcudes if a canonically male character is swapped or written as afab in a way that would mean writing pregnancy with them is not m!preg. Trans men being pregnant is not something I was ever objecting to with my "no m!preg" statements up above. But also... there are so so many really interesting little Gender Swap stories and gender exploration fics and the vast majority have zero pregnancy... I would love somehting like that. I just wanted to mention that after my pregnancy thing above.

I like disabilities/mental illnesses/etc explored in fics, especially headcanons that a character could really have it in canon as a reasonable interpretation. Those can be so amazing. Also AUs of "what if a character had this disability" even if they're completely canon-divergent can work great. Another version of this I can enjoy: exploring canonical disabiltiies on the fandoms of mine that have them, like the characters actually in wheelchairs on Glee, Joan of Arcadia, Friday Night Lights, Felicity's time paralyzed on Arrow, etc, or all sorts of other disabilities explored more like all the Deaf characters on Switched at Birth or Auggie being blind on Covert Affairs, etc etc. The canonically disabled characters often are underwritten about, but when I find a fic about that character I tend to love it. 

I might enjoy non-sexual kink explored because I'm curious to see more examples of it. I feel kinda weird about kink and like I myself am not at all kinky, but I'd enjoy a podfic that helps me broaden my understanding.

Eye glasses related moments? As someone who has never worn contacts (but lived with people who do) but instead wears glasses every waking moment (you know, just not when I'm sleeping) and have since 4th grade, it kinda makes me squee when a story addresses eyeglasses related things? XD I know that's silly.

I especially love podfics for underrated/often forgotten about characters. ;)

I especially love Gen fics, meaning family/friendship, OR character study focused - with preferably canon background ships, I'll live if it's fanon or other background ships though. :P Canon background ships are much jess jarring to hear casually come up in a story. Meanwhile fanon ones can sometimes throw me out of it. The fandoms I listed aren't generally too bad with this except for Harry Potter!! Be careful with that one. Background ships would be distracting for be there. Also fandoms I didn't include here like Teen Wolf have this issue pretty often. But like... I will probably notice if in a Glee fic Rachel/Quinn are just dating in the background, but of all the fanon background ships, that's actually not as much of a dealbreaker as most. I low-key ship Faberry after all. A BBC Sherlock fic doing this with maybe Mycroft and another main character being treated as obviously dating might bother me, that kind of thing, I guess? XD. I'd rather see (or, err, HEAR, hehe) the build up for any non-canon ship. 

Of course I'll also enjoy a LOT of non-gen stuff. It's just that I particularly love Gen. 

I tend to like, in order from most to least:

Gen best,
then all canon ships, doesn't matter if they're het or slash or femslash I love canon
then AU ships with characters' canonical sexual orientations in tact, this includes queerplatonic partnerships as an option btw and that can be between people of any genders and any sexual orientations, one straight one gay, both straight, etc etc
then AU femslash ships between canonically straight characters,
and finally AU male slash ships between canonically straight characters.

I am aro-spectrum and ace so for a character whose orientation is unknown, I do not necessarily find them more likely to be straight nor necessarily consider then canonically straight. I'm talking more about the characters we've seen for 4 seasons dating people of the opposite gender for most of them and never once seeming sexually attracted to the same gender? Yeah those people are "Canonically straight" to me, sorry.

Fics that remember bisexuality (or pansexuality) is a thing, especially when dealing with shifting orientations from canon for the sake of AU slash/femslash, make me happy, whether it's just engaging with the possibility of being bi/pan before deciding it's inaccurate, or letting the character actually be bi/pan.

So yeah, I like femslash more than male slash... but I do like all of it. And I'm mainly a canon fan, but a good fic can get me in the mindset to enjoy almost any ship.

(People don't tend to do AU het ships between canonically gay characters, usually that's considered offensive in fandom as a whole. I probably wouldn't enjoy a lot of cases of it, mainly since I already have some trouble re-interpreting a character's sexual orientation, but if an author interprets a character as bi instead of gay, or wants to explore a character being straight with a stereotypically gay gender presentation, that kind of thing it could work in some cases in a fun and non-offensive way. I'd like to at least feel like the author accepts that homosexuality is okay as a whole, I guess? But if you want to podfic something like that go for it and I'll be intrigued.)

I also enjoy:

Fandom Meta.
Generally, about anything fandom is always a fandom space I hang out in if it's generalized/multi-fandom in some way... (Yes I admit I'm adding this because I know someone else added podfic meta to a list.)

Literally Anything with significant amounts of Asexuality, or significant amounts of Aromanticism
Can be just one orientation and not the other, I do like stories about allosexual aros and everything!! I recently really enjoyed reading half of the BDSM adult novel Syncopation by Anna Zabo that includes canonical aromanticism and have... gotten distracted but fully intend to finish reading it. Like. Obviously a podficced story can deal with both aro and ace identities at once as well. I like all the possibilities. For fandoms I'm not in, if the fic you want to record for me has a big asexuality or aromanticism related arc you might be able to sway me into joining the fandom as whole, lmao, and at the very least I'll probably enjoy the story anyway so that would totally count as another fandom I'm generally in, the "it's got asexuality in it" fandom and also the "oo aromantic rep" fandom - especially a fic where I could probably appreciate it while not knowing that much about the fandom, maybe a random RPF fic where I can get enough of the gist just from the people's careers and the characterization is mainly in-story... etc etc. In podfic form I'll give nearly anything a chance if I know it's aro or ace rep, and that's why it's on my list. I'd be delighted to be gifted something like that. See also: this playlist of asexuality related vidding I've done... I've done a lot less with aromanticism but some of that sneaked into the playlist. 

If in doubt, it's probably fine. I enjoy being challenged/dared to consume new things. Often I enjoy the experience a lot. If I didn't mention it in my squicks (below) then don't worry about it. It's probably fine. That even includes some kinky stuff! Really don't worry too much. I listed all this as guidelines but ultimately it's really about you having fun making something. ;) I am not actually as picky as this list might make me seem. This stuff i don't like was all just yellow lights and not red so you can even do them and I'll still probably love the story. :)

Squicks, all of which are more "yellow light" than necessarily a "red light" :

Content Note for the following section until the end of the letter, for stuff such as suicide, murder, mental illness, addiction, child abuse/parental abuse, and maybe other heavy topics. Please respect your own triggers and stop reading here if it would be wise for you to.

Pro-religion/faith fics -- or anything demonizing non-belief. (It's fine if the character is religious and it's explored or mentioned in a fic that they believe, especially if their religiousness is canon. I just don't like feeling preached to. I'm an atheist. I've written about characters praying and believing though. It's just the evangelizing to the "reader" (listener) in fic form that upsets me.)

Anti-Abortion or Pro-Life fics - same kind of thing.

Fics that promote corporal punishment as a valid way for parents to discipline children or older siblings to discipline younger ones (I have gotten uncomfortable reading multiple "gen" fics like these in the past, believe it or not - and it's not due to any personal trauma... The stories about good familial loved ones doing this just are against my beliefs about the method of discipline, I guess).

Non-canonical incest in almost all cases. The canon examples where kissing actually happened I'd be 100% fine with you podficcing a well written fic about it, so don't worry too much about that. Just try to avoid incestuous ships most of the time and that'll help me out.

Fics with huge age differences in non-canonical ships, like parent or teacher characters being paired with high schoolers, even if the high schooler is all grown up in the fic. :P The feeling I can't shake about their power dynamics often creep me out in those cases. If the canon is borderline "they're like a parent to me" I'd much rather read Gen in that direction? If the characters met when the younger one was 25 or older it's a little less creepy, or if it's a one-sided crush from the younger to the older it might be okay, I have complicated feels on kind of a fandom-by-fandom basis about this stuff... Generally speaking, to be safe though, I don't want to listen to a story about huge age gaps for ships that are non-canonical. However, if someone's written about a student who really dated her teacher in the TV show's canon, or something like that, that's different, because it's canon. I can listen to that. I have even vidded it. ;) In PLL that's not my favorite ship, the teacher/student, but I'd listen to it lol.

Podfics where over 15% of it is smut/sexy stuff. (I'm asexual and somewhat sex-averse, although I can listen to sex scenes sometimes, especially if it's part of a larger plot. I can also enjoy it a lot more if the sex is more about the emotions of the characters than about the sex itself, if it's cute or awkward or even angsty it's better than if it's simply "hot".) I consider scenes of a character masturbating or dreaming to usually count in this category. Don't be afraid to do rated M or E stories, don't be too afraid of a really hot erotic chapter or paragraph or whatever depending on how long the thing you plan to podfic for me is, just try to make it as close to 15% or less of what I'm receiving from you as possible.

Alcohol and Drug Abuse as too huge a part of the plot or unrealistically not-a-big-deal, especially in humor. I don't actually find people being high or drunk hilarious, or a character who says every other sentence "I need a drink". Unless the whole fic is an addiction angst fest that deals with it head on, then I can love that completely. It's more about if it's treated as harmless (my squick) vs. harmful (a trope I really like).

Fics that promote an "Everyone is sexual"/"being asexual is impossible" agenda or even more nuanced things like "everyone masturbates, even aces"... I don't want to feel personally attacked while listening to my gift. (Also a relevant part of my journey can be found here.) (Yes many asexuals masturbate. Just notice if they are saying literally every person on the planet does because that kinda is a super sore spot for me.)

Female villains or "evil" women being written as good at mothering, or the trope that all mothers are essentially angels or that motherhood inherently changes women in a positive way. That will really bother me. (But a single character being a great mother is great if she's not evil in canon, don't get me wrong.)

Details about my specific requests within these fandoms are listed below, after my really long list of squicks vs loves! The 33 tv shows after the tildes (~~~) are fandoms I have no specific comments on, anything at all in that fandom works for me as a podfic. Those are listed in alphabetical order. It's only the first 21 tv shows for which I have chosen to express some preferences. For movies, for the first 3 I have comments about my preferences. The other 2 I don't. For books I also list my preferences only for Harry Potter so.. .surprise me if you do anything relating to Thirteen Reasons Why. For better or worse, I know both the 13RW TV show and the book now. :P  (I would've listed more books but most I like have no fanfiction in existence lol.)

See below!! Also note for currently airing TV shows I may update my preferences/dislikes if something happens in the coming weeks that changes my opinion on anything but I doubt my opinions will change significantly enough for it to matter. Just if you're curious, feel free to look back here and see if I've updated or not.

I actually know, have vidded, have written fanfic for, more TV series than this and listen to podfics in larger fandoms sometimes too but I would really love for this exchange to only receive/only record within one of these 54 shows, 2 books, or the 5 movie fandoms.

Apologies to the mods for listing so freaking many!! I figure more fandoms might make matching me EASIER, not harder? I mean I'm more likely to have a couple fandoms in common with someone if I list a million choices? BUT... I can trim down the list if needed!

I'd adore receiving something in any of these. I love fandoms that haven't been podficced before getting podfic'd. etc. These all are fandoms with enough fics that getting podfic would definitely be nice in any of them.


Hey there, podficcer! ;) I'm excited to be participating in this exchange for the third time. I'm sorry for the long length of this letter. Please bear with me. ;) I just... figured more details might help rather than hurt? I will enjoy whatever you gift to me though! It's important to me that you LIKE the experience of making a podfic for me, so please remember to pick something you personally want to spend time and effort creating and that will be fun and feel worth it.

For the past 2 years I've had so much fun with ITPE, and I made 7 total podfics those years, including some of the podfics I'm most proud of ever creating. I currently have created 21 podfics, and have a 22nd one that's unfinished but close.. maybe I'll actually finish it before ITPE ends lol. Oh and one of the 21 is not public yet because it's for the Podfic Broken Telephone challenge. I should finally add the 20th to my AO3 any day now but it's a Harry Potter one...

Note that below I mention a few times that I also engage with fandom as a fanfic writer and as a vidder. Vidding is the main way I do fandom, and because of that for each fandom I've linked to a playlist or a vid or something that is an example of me vidding it so that you can get more of a feel of me when it comes to that fandom. ;) That being said, if all I've vidded is 1 or 2 pairings that doesn't mean I want to restrict you to that pairing. In fact I probably would be very happy especially for all the fandoms at the bottom with no specific details listed if you did remind me of the other aspects of the TV show that I also love. So podfic a fic about whatever inspires you!

Squicks, all of which are more "yellow light" than necessarily a "red light" :

Pro-religion/faith fics -- or anything demonizing non-belief. (It's fine if the character is religious and it's explored or mentioned in a fic that they believe, especially if their religiousness is canon. I just don't like feeling preached to. I'm an atheist. I've written about characters praying and believing though. It's just the evangelizing to the "reader" (listener) in fic form that upsets me.)

Anti-Abortion/Pro-Life fics - same kind of thing.

Fics that promote corporal punishment as a valid way for parents to discipline children or older siblings to discipline younger ones (I have gotten uncomfortable reading multiple "gen" fics like these in the past, believe it or not - and it's not due to any personal trauma, the stories about good familial loved ones doing this just are against my beliefs about the method of discipline I guess).

Non-canonical incest in almost all cases. The canon examples where kissing actually happened I'd be 100% fine with you podficcing a well written fic about it, so don't worry too much about that. Just try to avoid incestuous ships most of the time and that'll help me out.

Fics with huge age differences in non-canonical ships, like parent or teacher characters being paired with high schoolers, even if the high schooler is all grown up in the fic. :P The power dynamics creep me out in general. If the canon is borderline "they're like a parent to me" I'd much rather read Gen in that direction? If the characters met when the younger one was 25 or older it's a little less creepy, or if it's a one-sided crush from the younger to the older it might be okay, I have complicated feels on kind of a fandom-by-fandom basis about this stuff... Generally speaking, to be safe though, I don't want to listen to a story about huge age gaps for ships that are non-canonical. However, if someone's written about a student who really dated her teacher in the TV show's canon, or something like that, that's different, because it's canon. I can listen to that. I may have even vidded it...? ;)

Podfics where over 15% of it is smut/sexy stuff. (I'm asexual and somewhat sex-averse, although I can listen to sex scenes sometimes, especially if it's part of a larger plot. I can also enjoy it a lot more if the sex is more about the emotions of the characters than about the sex itself, if it's cute or awkward or even angsty it's better than if it's simply "hot".) I consider scenes of a character masturbating or dreaming to usually count in this category. Don't be afraid to do rated M or E stories, don't be too afraid of a really hot erotic chapter or paragraph or whatever depending on how long the thing you plan to podfic for me is, just try to make it as close to 15% or less of what I'm receiving from you as possible.

Alcohol and Drug Abuse as too huge a part of the plot or unrealistically not-a-big-deal, especially in humor. I don't actually find people being high or drunk hilarious, or a character who says every other sentence "I need a drink". Unless the whole fic is an addiction angst fest that deals with it head on, then I can love that completely. It's more about if it's treated as harmless (my squick) vs. harmful (a trope I really like).

Fics that promote an "Everyone is sexual"/"being asexual is impossible" agenda or even more nuanced things like "everyone masturbates, even aces"... I don't want to feel personally attacked while listening to my gift. (Also a relevant part of my journey can be found here.)

Very AU scenarios, especially for the most realistic (i.e. non-fantasy/non-sci fi) fandoms, are generally not my cup of tea, unless done exceptionally well. This includes everything from slave!fic to m!preg to zombie apocalypse? But ultimately it is up to you.

Female villains or evil women being magically good at mothering, or the trope that all mothers are essentially angels or that motherhood inherently changes women in a positive way. That will really bother me.

Note: I have no PTSD-style triggers. I can deal with really extreme things in fics, but just for the record I do have personal experience with:

• an older family member's suicide (via jumping/falling, specifically),
• an abusive mother who I've cut out of my life. She was diagnosed with things such as alcohol abuse/borderline personality disorder etc.
• a difficult journey to finally, at age 23, accepting & figuring out my own sexual orientation (asexual) - I honestly relate pretty hard to many internalized homophobia plots since I too tried to be and wished I was straight for a ridiculous amount of time.

I'd love these things when handled in a fic as serious and if they seem powerful and realistic as details. I don't love these things used as details only for the sake of throw-away jokes. One little mention of them in a throwaway comment I'll live with if it's really only one sentence out of a fic, but just so you know, these things can add up to really frustrate/bother me if handled in a way that contradicts my personal experiences.


Some of the MANY things I really love in podfics:

Incorporating music/special sound effects into podfics? Very fun. XD Including an audio clip from canon or something? Anything like that is extra and therefore of course not expected, but I generally really love it.

META! Meta about any of these fandoms being recorded or being incorporated as part of a fanfic is a huge thing I'd love. I really love podcasts in general, analysis of fandom from a more non-fiction or literary analysis POV, thoughts on characters, continuity, shipping, and so much more. You may notice one of my Criminal Minds podfics is a "metafiction" story? These kinds of things that kinda break the fourth wall? I really love them.

Crossovers between multiple fandoms I know well, like especially the ones here on this list? XD I also know Teen Wolf, the MCU films only, most big hospital show fandoms, etc - check my YouTube channel for fandoms I've vidded to get a better idea of which fandoms I might be attuned to hearing included in a a crossover podfic.

I love canon-based fics, filling in the blanks of canon, giving us scenes we never got on the show but should've, giving us scenes we did get but from inside a different point of view, etc, etc.

Subset of that: Exploring a possible future down the line for all the characters (or a select one character, whatever) that is consistent with canon! XD

Another subset of that: Exploring canon-compliant backstory, jumping back to a time prior to the canon essentially. ;) So much fun!

I love extreme angst and drama. I'm not afraid of a non-happy ending, a major character death even if non-canonical, a fic all about grief, about sexual assault or about some other kind of extreme trauma if dealt with as appropriately serious and in a realistic way.

I love fics dealing with child abuse and/or being a survivor of it because I myself am a survivor of my mother's abuse and even if I can't relate exactly I can often relate to parts of it and I really love that experience, it's cathartic and I love different people's take on it in fanfiction.

I like stories about cancer and terminal illnesses etc -- medical shows in general are my jam and I listed a few here in my sign ups for a reason, and those often are heavy on the canon illness related angst.

I don't shy away from suicidal thoughts/suicides/grief either. Those fics can be amazing.

I also love cute fluffiness. Honestly I'm pretty easy to please. :P Happy endings make me happy too, of course. Etc. I don't desperately need them, but I can 100% adore them. I can squee over the happy feels like the best fangirls, I swear.

I love fics that explore coming out or understanding/figuring out a character's own queerness, or the process of questioning, coming to terms with it, embracing it, etc etc. Any form of queerness. Including of course asexuality, or ace-spectrum stuff, or aromantic-spectrum stuff, as those things are super personal to me... I really adore them... but also any other form of queerness, like being gay or bi or trans etc... :P I actually really love these stories for any identity.

I like hurt/comfort when well written, if it seems in character. I often seek it out because I love the trope and then am disappointed by characterization? I want the characters to still be the characters I recognize. But taking care of someone when ill or injured or psychologically traumatized is definitely something I enjoy a lot.

I LOVE adoption or fostering in fics. I hope to become a foster parent and later an adoptive parent someday. Kids' POV, parent's POV, whatever, I love these stories.

Pregnancy in an anatomically realistic way (so no m!preg in most cases, generally female pregnancy) is something I tend to really really love fics about. This includes the really angsty stuff authors can play with: abortion, having to give up a baby for adoption, the pain of childbirth, miscarriages, etc - or it can just be happy. Whatever. I have generally positive reactions to pregnancy in fics, however it plays out, as long as we're not focusing on an m!preg. 

I like disabilities/mental illnesses/etc explored in fics, especially headcanons that a character could really have it in canon as a reasonable interpretation. Those can be so amazing. Also AUs of "what if a character had this disability" even if they're completely canon-divergent can work great. Another version of this I can enjoy: exploring canonical disabiltiies on the fandoms of mine that have them, like the characters actually in wheelchairs on Glee, Joan of Arcadia, Friday Night Lights, Felicity's time paralyzed on Arrow, etc, or all sorts of other disabilities explored more like all the Deaf plots on Switched at Birth or Auggie being blind on Covert Affairs, etc etc. The canonically disabled characters often are underwritten about, but when I find a fic about that character I tend to love it.

Eye glasses related moments? As someone who has never worn contacts (but lived with people who do) but instead wears glasses every waking moment (you know, just not when I'm sleeping) and have since 4th grade, it kinda makes me squee when a story addresses eyeglasses related things? XD

I especially love podfics for underrated/often forgotten about characters. ;)

Gender swap stuff or anything that really explores gender in a unique way within a story is wonderful.

I especially love Gen fics, meaning family/friendship, OR character study focused - with preferably canon background ships, I'll live if it's fanon or other background ships though. :P Canon background ships are much jess jarring to hear casually come up in a story. Meanwhile fanon ones can sometimes throw me out of it. The fandoms I listed aren't generally too bad with this except for Harry Potter!! Be careful with that one. Background ships would be distracting for be there.  also fanfics I didn't include here like Teen Wolf have this issue pretty often. But like... I will probably notice if in a Glee fic Rachel/Quinn are just dating in the background, but of all the fanon background ships, that's actually not as much of a dealbreaker as most. I low-key ship Faberry after all. A BBC Sherlock fic doing this with maybe Mycroft and another main character being treated as obviously dating might bother me, that kind of thing, I guess? XD. I'd rather see (or, err, HEAR, hehe) the build up for any non-canon ship.

Of course I'll also enjoy a LOT of non-gen stuff. It's just that I particularly love Gen.

I tend to like, in order from most to least:

Gen best,
then all canon ships, doesn't matter if they're het or slash or femslash I love canon
then AU ships with characters' canonical sexual orientations in tact, this includes queerplatonic partnerships as an option btw and that can be between people of any genders and any sexual orientations, one straight one gay, both straight, etc etc
then AU femslash ships between canonically straight characters,
and finally AU male slash ships between canonically straight characters.

I am aro-spectrum and ace so for a character whose orientation is unknown, I do not necessarily find them more likely to be straight nor necessarily consider then canonically straight. I'm talking more about the characters we've seen for 4 seasons dating people of the opposite gender for most of them and never once seeming sexually attracted to the same gender? Yeah those people are "Canonically straight" to me, sorry.

Fics that remember bisexuality is a thing, especially when dealing with shifting orientations from canon somewhat, make me happy, whether it's just engaging with the possibility of being bi before deciding it's inaccurate, or letting the character actually be bi.

So yeah, I like femslash more than male slash... but I do like all of it. And I'm mainly a canon fan, but a good fic can get me in the mindset to enjoy almost any ship.

(People don't tend to do AU het ships between canonically gay characters, usually that's considered offensive in fandom as a whole. I probably wouldn't enjoy a lot of cases of it, mainly since I already have some trouble re-interpreting a character's sexual orientation, but if an author interprets a character as bi instead of gay, or wants to explore a character being straight with a stereotypically gay gender presentation, that kind of thing it could work in some cases in a fun and non-offensive way. I'd like to at least feel like the author accepts that homosexuality is okay as a whole, I guess? But if you want to podfic something like that go for it and I'll be intrigued.)


If in doubt, it's probably fine. I enjoy being challenged/dared to consume new things. Often I enjoy the experience a lot. If I didn't mention it in my squicks then don't worry about it. It's probably fine. That even includes some kinky stuff! Really don't worry too much. I listed all this as guidelines but ultimately it's really about you having fun making something. ;) I am not actually as picky as this list might make me seem.



So about my fave characters & ships, and other preferences, within fandoms!

Harry Potter - I love a pretty wide variety these days in this fandom but I'm still mainly into Maurauders or maybe next-gen, or canon-fill in the blanks, or canon compliant but immediately after the war/after the books. Anything Harry is a good thing - adult Harry always makes me happy but I feel for him at any age. I'm NOT a fan of Snape, especially in ships, haven't really given fics featuring him enough of a chance perhaps though so if you want to convince me with a gift... I prefer gen the most and but I do like Remus/Sirius (Wolfstar) and Draco/Harry as ships. It was finally experiencingthem through podfic helped get me into those ships actually. I also do ship Harry/Ginny somewhat, also like the idea of aromantic and/or asexual Harry,  half see Ginny/Harry more platonically as great friends or as a comfortable marriage but I'd be squicked out by sex here, by any Harry sex really although I'm almost used to it happening in Drarry podfics now. I like fics exploring aromantic and/or asexual Luna too or otherwise queer Luna, queer next-gen characters... I've read bi Lily Evans too which can be fun... Generally pretty happy with queering any women in HP to not even be attracted to men at all or to be bi... I could ship Harry/Luna but in my head they're both possibly ace so them being into each other sexually as the heart of the story probably would not be my thing. Anything dealing with the Dursleys, especially Mauraders, Lily, or Harry and their interactions with them and a focus on those lovable characters' POVs would be great. I'm pretty open here so... surprise me? Oh and Fred and George stuff, all the Weasleys have a special place in my heart so much of the time... And McGonagall, femslash or gen or anything would make me happy with her... idk I'm really all over the place with this fandom. I like Cho, I like all the Triwizard competitors... I like a lot of the characters. (Not familiar with Cursed Child nor Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.)

Star Wars - I wanted to restrict my sign ups to the prequels. For some reason they're my faves, despite myself. XD I know they're often the least popular... I even kinda agree that the writing is somewhat worse in these, but hey! That's what fanfiction is for, right? :P FYI I don't know anything other than the core 7 films, when it comes to this fandom, and I'm the worst and still haven't even seen Rogue One, but if you must include small references to The Clone Wars animated series or something else I probably will live, I even don't mind spoilers lol, I hope I can follow the plot is all. I'm only a casual Star Wars fan and literally only saw the films once - for the first time within the past 2 years - and I made a couple Star Wars collab parts which was my first time dipping my toes into vidding the fandom? (I've vidded every single fandom on this list at some point I believe. Well, except Motive, Monsters Inc, Arrested Development, The Night Shift, and Back to the Future? But maybe someday for all 5 of those too. I vid every TV show or film I love. It's a problem.) I definitely don't mind the other movies being heavily featured, it's just my favorite characters and ones I most want to hear podfic about are all the characters in the prequels. If the fic you record is at least 50% based on a character or ship or setting or something from the prequels, that's fine. Please no incestuous stuff (for instance not Anakin shipped with Luke, Leia, or Kylo) but other than that gen, slash, het, even femslash is cool. I tend to like the Star Wars heroes more than the villains. I consider Anakin & Padme's romance to not really make much sense so I don't exactly ship them but I do love each of their characters and an exploration or expansion or AU changing of that ship probably would make me so happy. they might be my favorite canon based  ship, because I like their characters and Idk they just are the only canon one in the prequels and iI like the prequels that much? Oh and idk if there are any ace or aromantic interpretations of characters in prequel heavy fics but that is always my 100% favorite thing... XD  One last thing I'll note is... maybe because of the magic/fantasy of this space opera fandom? Well, I don't mind de-aging or aging up as much as in other fandoms. That doesn't sound too bad when it comes to Star Wars. I also think I am not too worried about power dynamic creepiness with ships in this fandom. Feel free to record whatever ship floats your boat regardless of who mentored who and I'll probably be pretty happy!

Gilmore Girls - Please give me anything at all in this fandom. Seriously. There is nothing in this fandom, as long as you avoid my general squicks above, that I won't be really excited to see podficced. It's sorely underpodficced and with the revival that came out last year I've been in such a mood for this fandom.  Don't worry, btw, about a "set in the future" Gilmore Girls fic that was written pre-revival being contradicted, understandably, by the new canon future in the revivial. I don't expect it to be rivival-compatible. XD On the other hand... i haven't read much revival based fic yet, I mainly stuck to fanvideos, so a revival based podfic for me would be so much fun. I love a lot of things in this fandom. If you want to know, my #1 OTP of all time, out of all of my fandoms, is Rory/Jess. I really adore them. I also like Lorelai/Christopher a LOT, not in the endgame sense but in the exploration of what they were and are?? I guess. I feel they are really great together overall, in many ways, and also similarly flawed people who fundamentally "Get" each other a lot of the time?? XD I support endgame Lorelai/Luke - and Luke/Lorelai fics I never read enough of, since I was always in the vidding side of fandom and when I did read Gilmore Girls fanfic it was almost always Rory/Jess lol. I also love Paris and Lane and any ship you want to give either girl, het or femslash. I don't mind other canon Rory or Lorelai ships explored in fic form. Any Gilmore Girls podfic would be wonderful even if it's anti-my ship or whatever...  or original characters explored with Rory either. Jess character studies or exploration of his family relationships is everything to me.  Jess & Luke people!! Rory & Lorelai as daughter & mother!! So much good gen potential. No incest, duh, but there is so much good stuff you could do for me. This fandom means so much to me and I doubt I'll match with anyone on it but yeah. I figured I'd list my preferences just in case. MissGoalie75, btw, is one of my favorite Gilmore Girls authors ever, actually authors for any fandom I have in common with her... she's on FFN, AO3, and tumblr (maybe more places?) and idk if she'll let you podfic her stuff but her taste in writing, especially for Gilmore Girls, is really in line with mine. Even her bookmarks/faves are a good place to look. I found some of my other favorite authors that way. XD Gilmore Girls is in many ways my first fandom and still kinda a main fandom. You may have noticed I once wrote an epistolary fic for pod-together in this fandom about Lorelai(/Chris,&unborn Rory), Jess(&kinda Liz), Paris(& her nanny, mentions of Rory), and Lane(/Dave, mentions of Henry and Rory and Mrs. Kim). I've also written quite a bit of other Gilmore Girls fanfiction stuff years ago, and I have blanket permission for people to podfic any of my own fics, so I'd love receiving that as a gift too. ;) With A Year In The Life, I don't feel the shipping of Rory/Jess as simply anymore. I prefer a really really slow burn towards their romance rekindling if AYITL is included as background. I possibly fell more for Logan/Rory in the revival even. I have a lot of complicated upset feelings about the revival that have slowly thawed over the past year I've had to recover from the frustration and disappointment. I relate to Rory's personality a lot, as much as ever... Um... Idk. It's just messy and huge.

Criminal Minds - I'm currently watching the series through for literally the third time. I'm intending to vid it a lot more once I get through it. this was true  last year for ITPE and it's... Been a proces sbut it's still happening. I'm choose now, in my rewatch off season 10 as I watch season 13 live. Probably when I'm finished I'll write a Hotch-related fanfic too, actually, which I've been planning for years? I honestly love every season, every character, idk. You name it? I probably see something positive about it. I don't mind if you record a fic written back when season 1 or 2 was airing. I'm happy with a season 12 or 13 based podfic too, as I am keeping up with all the new episodes, even with the whole cast shake-up. Sexual stuff in this fandom squicks me out a little more than in other fandoms, because I'm so not used to it, ESPECIALLY for non-canonical orientations for the characters? Honestly even het sex will probably squick me out a lot in this fandom. Femslash sex might be the option I'm personally least averse to. Generally speaking, I love how asexual and/or platonic this fandom is in canon, The fact that the characters are interested in sex is such subtext or not really the point most episodes, so as an ace fan I can just ignore that side to these characters a lot of the time, and kind of let myself forget that sexual attraction exists? XD I think of Emily, Garcia, Rossi, and Morgan as explicitly into sex and the rest I kind of pretend don't have sex lives. I'm torn on my feelings for Garcia/Morgan but i think  Morgan doesn't reciprocate sexual attraction for Garcia so that's why it makes me uncomfortable if a fixc assumes he does without any buildup.  I think they have a wonderful queerplatonic level bond though. My favorite fanfiction stuff explores gen (meaning non-romance), or explores PG-romances. I mean, the show is very violent and rated TV-14 most of the time -- the fic you choose to podfic can be similarly extreme in terms of that kind of thing, or possibly worse -- feel free to podfic something rated R or rated MA for violence/gore and I'll be fine. I love Reid finding love, with original characters or canon characters, but I especially don't want to hear a fic about his sex life in more than a vague way, since I am pretty attached to the common headcanon that he is asexual. Other characters I accept as more sexual lol... I'll live with some sex... and I like all of the characters, ALL of them, including the single-season characters. I love this whole show. My main NOTPs that I really don't like as a ship despite their popularity are Reid/JJ and Garcia/Morgan. Reid/JJ I also have complicated feelings about but I  would be open to a slow burn explanation of them working, I just don't feel it when they are assumed. My favorite ships are Kevin/Penelope, Will/JJ, Reid/Maeve, Reid/Lila, Hotch/Beth, Rossi/Blake, Reid/Ashley Seaver,  JJ/Hotch... and also femslash between any of the main women, literally any combination. JJ/Emily is probably the easiest femslash-wise to find fics on. And I do enjoy Morgan/Reid and Hotch/Rossi. I prefer Morgan&Reid and Hotch&Rossi as almost queerplatonic-partner-level best friends, maybe JJ&Emily that way too, but that's harder to find in fic than just shippiness so I'll live if it's pretty shippy. Just remember my 15% sex-related part general guideline if possible. Finally I have a ton of love for Ashley Seaver, Alex Blake, Maeve... Even Kate... these often forgotten women. 

Glee - I'm very open with my interests in this fandom. I really don't like Finn as non-straight, is maybe the main squick I have. Puck, Will, Mercedes, Tina... I also don't really see at all as non-straight. Yes to minor characters being explored in well-written things that feel in character. Yes as well to main characters being explored in that way too. I'm not averse to heavy angst or grief stuff, OR on the other hand the crack! fics and crazy silliness. This fandom can go in so many different directions so well, I've realized over the years. It's one of my main fandoms for writing in, reading in, podficcing in, consuming podfic in, etc. I haven't actually branched out as much when it comes to my own writing or podficcing as I could. I'd be happy branching out more. There are so many options, really... Personally, I'm desperate to be exposed to some good post-season 6 explorations of Rachel/Sam as endgame or, alternately, how endgame Rachel/Jesse came to be. I adore Quinn/Puck as an OTP. I do ship Emma/Will, but I don't mind anti-Will sentiments either, in fact I really can enjoy super contradictory interpretations of a character like him that half the fandom despises and the other half adores. I kinda like it all, even the really negative interpretations. I like both Klaine and Kurtofsky and similarly also don't mind anti-Klaine stuff in Karofsky based fics or anti-Karofsky stuff in Klaine fics, even if I am personally a multi-shipper. (I guess my fave thing might be exploring why the other ship is so bad in a nuanced way rather than just hate without justification though. OR a fic where all the characters are cast in a fairly positive light is good too?) I like Artie and Sam a lot as characters, despite my OTP of Quinn/Puck I also ship Quinn/Sam enough that a fic about them could make me very happy... oh and Sam or Artie as gay or bi works okay for me too - and I also like Marley so much, and Marley/Jake, but don't mind Marley/Ryder either. Marley/Kitty I'm not super familiar with but probably could grow to love especially if it's only 15% or less sex scenes. XD I love Beiste in every form, including definitely fics from pre-season 6 and him transitioning to male. I kind of don't like that he was made trans, from a writing perspective, because for 4 seasons Shannon Beiste was a non-gender conforming woman who was comfortable with her gender presentation and just had other issues when it came to things like her love life. I loved that character. The twist didn't feel right to me, especially compared to her line "Deep down inside, I'm just a girl" in season 2. If you record a Beiste fic with female pronouns I will enjoy it. Nothing transphobic, just that she's a gender-nonconforming cis woman in that fic. Rachel mourning Finn really gets to me (in a really good way! I love it), and I like Finchel and Brittana and most of the canon ships. Exploring what Finn/Quinn actually were is fun, even when Quinn is shown in a somewhat harsh light I like it, actually all the characters I don't mind some criticism of. XD They are not perfect people. Hummel-Hudson family fics or fics including Burt and/or Carole are my weakness. I adore them so much. I like to interpret Quinn as heteroromantic bisexual OR as more broadly bi/pan since she did like sex with Santana enough to want to try again!! XD and Santana as homoromantic bisexual, or maybe demiromantic but bi. :P To clarify, this means Santana/male ships are actually pretty okay with me as long as it's clear in the story that she's bi. I know in canon she's a lesbian so it's complicated but just... she seemed to actually like sex with men enough in my interpretation of season 1 canon that I like going in this direction with her. I don't mind the idea of bisexual Blaine either. It was almost canon in season 2, anyway. I like to interpret Marley and Beiste as asexual, and Kurt and Emma as demisexuals or gray-asexuals. None of these interpretations are required -- they're pretty rare lol. But I'm not the only one to interpret a lot of the characters this way. OH! and I also have read and adored every single Karofsky & Santana or Karofsky/Santana fic in existence, at least on AO3 and FFN as of a few years ago when fics about them were more commonly written and I was going through my own internalized acephobia/trying to be straight/wishing I was straight. I adore these fics, and in a way "ship" this couple hard. They are canon beards and the fics respect that they are a gay man and a lesbian character who aren't actually attracted to each other, generally speaking. The point is the complexity of what them "dating" really might mean gets to be explored!! The point is angst and character study and internalized homophobia and overt homophobia from families and pining over Kurt and Brittany and all of it. The point is unexpectedly finding a friendship sometimes. :P

Sherlock (BBC) - this was my newest fandom back in 2016, last year's ITPE! Around then been reading TJLC meta like crazy lately haha. Not that I actually truly bought/buy The Johnlock Conspiracy, it's... complicated. But it's fascinating okay?  Since catching up on all 10 episodes that existed, I'd been binge watched Johnlock fanvideos mainly, and started getting into some not overly explicit, Johnlock and sometimes gen or other ship fics and podfics. Many of them have made me so happy. I'm still behind on series 4 but I'll see 4x02 in a week and 4x03 in November so I'll be caught up and emotional about Sherlock when ITPE 2017 ends. Something new created just with me in mind would be so appreciated. ;)  pre or post s4 stuff, either way. I've always been a sucker for grief or  non-traditional parenting situations so s4 would give plenty of fodder there... You definitely do not have to be British to perform in this fandom, I've seen some ridiculous sentiments around, but as an American myself who might record in this fandom, like... come on people. Obviously any accent is gonna have to be fine because this is a podfic exchange and regardless of what country you're from, you're stuck with me? But I want to make it especially clear that I really don't care about accents, and if it's between this fandom and another one, don't let accent be a deciding factor! Just let it be what you'll have the most fun with. Johnlock is essentially my OTP, although I haven't decided if I actually ship them or not. I mainly prefer the interpretation that John is maybe bi, maybe straight, whatever... but Sherlock is ace, romantic orientation not really important, maybe aro, and that they love each other as more queerplatonic partners than anything. That being said I don't know if there are very many fics like that out there. i listened to every Sherlock as asexual podfic I could find   on AO3 tagged with both asexuality and podfic (asexual character etc falls under the parent tag asexuality for search purposes) but not one podfic of that type included the word queerplatonic lol... I love the idea of hearing a podfic about Sherlock being gay but John being straight so, aw, incompatible orientations, or John being bi and wanting Sherlock but Sherlock being aroace so again, incompatible.  I've heard stories like that where Sherlock us very much gay romantically and they still are compatible and bi John is happy with ace Sherlock. But I'd prefer one where the most they can be is what they are in canon, which is like... the most important person in each other's lives, canonically loving each other whether that love is platonic or romantic or has any sexual tinges to it or not doesn't really matter?  no kissing? My head canon... Yeah I need to write a fic. I like established romantic-together-Johnlock in the background of another plot because it is less likely to be overly sexual and hit my squick sensors too often. I like so many possible things in this fandom too, just thinking about it, character study for anyone really could be cool, a fic about families, a fic about Sherlock's self-destructive behaviors and addictions, a fic about John's depression or traumas... I kinda like the idea of Greg Lestrade/Molly but haven't read any fics yet. I actually really love Molly's character and would love an exploration of her - or Mrs. Hudson perhaps? There's so many directions you could go with this fandom and making something for me. Btw, as I said above about Star Wars, I also made a couple Sherlock-as-a-series collab parts which was my first time dipping my toes into vidding the fandom? (I've vidded every single fandom on this list at some point I believe. Well, except Motive, Monsters Inc, Arrested Development, The Night Shift, and Back to the Future? But maybe someday for all 5 of those too. I vid every TV show or film I love. It's a problem.) I intend to vid some aspect of this show as soon as I can in a full length fanvideo. I really love it.  I need to at least see all of series 4 first though.

Supergirl (2015 TV series) - I know the entire Arrowverse! last year i said I was actually gonna try to write a Supergirl/The Flash crossover for the first time in November/December about Kara/Iris (for the Femslash Big Bang). that didn't end up happening. The big bang didn't pester me enough for starters. I might do it eventually though. I still love the idea. I really liked Barry&Kara interacting as friends but NOT as a ship. I loved so much how not-shippy they were in the s1 crossover ep and even again the next year in their musical crossover one in The Flash. Cute and perfect but not interested in each other in THAT WAY. I mainly like Gen stuff when it comes to this fandom, and don't really see Cat/Kara as romantic. I know they're super popular but please can we not? I think the age difference squicks me out and idk why but I'm just not a fan. Kara/Lucy femslash though, that I can get behind, and DEFINITELY Kara/Lena.  Supercorp is my OTP although I also love Maggie/Alex close behind, so  essentially I'm all femslash in this fandom. I really don't like Winn/Kara nor Mon-El/Kara as ships at all. I kind of was anti-Winn from the start. I fell for him a bit more in the latter half of season 1, but still don't like the ship. I love Superman in general and as you can see below, I also know all 10 seasons of Smallville so I mean... I'm open to a lot of possibilities when it comes to Clark in this universe. Tyler Hoechlin was so cute and great when we saw him as Clark. I like Alex&Kara as sisters and therefore see shipping them as incestuous and a no. I really like exploring Kara's time prior to the show, her years adjusting to Earth, her years on Krypton. I like the bright and happy stuff on this show but I also like the simple sadness of her life. I like the idea of exploring Clark&Kara on this show in a gen way, from any character's POV or in any context, AU, canon, past, future, whatever. I enjoy Alex&Hank as either just friends OR I'll admit before I knew Alex would be a lesbian as a ship; I don't see him in a fatherly role to her for some reason but more of an equal and Idk it worked for me. A reimagined Alex as bi I'd still be ok with if done well probably. I do lowkey ship James/Kara, yes. A shippy fic about them would probably make me happy. I also love all of James' stuff on this show, his friendships, him/Lucy, his friendship with Winn, whatever. AU shipping James/Cat works for me in a way that Kara/Cat doesn't, idk why... I don't feel male slash on this show though? maybe Clark/Winn after looking for fics about them for last year's itpe. i fell forthem then. I haven't read that much fic but feel free to surprise me. I have vidded the show a bit now so I know it pretty well. I especially feel familiar with Alex's journey. I like Mon-El enough but don't really believe their romantic-sexual feelings for each other, especially from Kara toward him. I preferred when she seemed not to reciprocate earlier in season 2. As friends they did work for me. And I did like Winn dating that blonde female alien.

The Flash (2014 TV Series) - for the record I have been loving The Flash the most out of all of the Arrowverse shows lately, vidding it more, like I said above I'm actually gonna try to write a Supergirl/The Flash crossover eventually. I really liked Barry&Kara interacting as friends but NOT as a ship. I loved so much how not-shippy they were in their crossover eps. Cute and perfect but not interested in each other in THAT WAY.  My OTPs on this show are Barry/Patty and Barry/Iris... Maybe Caitlin/Cisco although I'm torn because I think i like them better queerplatonic and comfortably.non sexual. but as QPPs yeah they are an OTP for me too. I think Cisco with his canon love interest and Caitlin/Julian are great too. I also just love Iris West and Patty Spivot as characters a lot, so any ship for either woman, including crossovers into Arrow or any other show really, either het or femslash, would probably make me happy. I also like Eddie/Barry slash, Barry/Cisco slash, I could probably enjoy being introduced to any Barry ship slash and enjoy it? I don't know. I'm in a pretty open mood when it comes to this fandom right now. Gen about Barry and either or both of his two dads (Henry or Joe) would make me so happy in a fic. Or just a fic about Henry character study, or a Henry romance, or a Henry friendship even, or Joe/whoever... including Joe's canon romance... I love those characters in their own right as well, Barry or not. I do love Caitlin herself, even if I don't really ship her with anyone on the show too strongly. I like her friendships a lot, especially with Felicity lol. Also Caitlin/Jay if explored in a canon ish way I could maybe get behind. they were best and complicated. I saw a fanvideo that got interested in Caitlin/Iris as potential femslash too. In.my 2016 letter I said I do not like Harrison Wells OR Harry OR Eobard centric ships? XD But maybe Harry etc has grown on me in the past year. I definitely liked H.R. And I think my  friend who's a huge Tom Cavanaugh fan might've converted me. I do not support Caitlin/Ronnie at all, they're my anti-ship of the canon. :P I liked Eddie a lot, I'm sad about him. Barry is my heart and soul and why I adore the fandom.  Btw if you want to see more of my leanings when it comes to this fandom, check out the Arrow/The Flash fic I wrote for pod-together in 2015. Chapter 2 is my The Flash chapter. I... love this whole show and hope to vid Cisco/Caitlin very soon.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow (2016 TV series) - This show is so happy and bright and I started watching for Sara, she was the only character from either Arrow or The Flash I really cared about when this spin-off launched, but I stuck around for everybody. This whole cast makes me happy. Polyamory could work for me in this fandom more than most, I find it easy enough to imagine all of these characters as not overly attached to convention, after all they left their entire lives behind to travel through time and space... XD I also don't really mind if you ship whoever with whoever. I was hoping for Kendra/Jax before Ray/Kendra became more canon but I was surprised by how much I liked Ray/Kendra. I don't love the fated soulmates of Kendra/Carter as much. I'm heartbroken over Leonard Snart and on behalf of Mick Rory especially. I shipped Captain Canary (Leonard/Sara) and I also ship Sara with Rip Hunter. Especially in season two I shipped them even more. I think Rip Hunter is one of the most interesting characters to explore his canon backstory or thoughts and feelings. I love how this show plays with morality and the philosophy of ethics and of reality etc. I love so much about this show. In season 2 I fell hard for Nate, and I enjoyed Amaya as a character as well and I thought they were a great canon romance. I also loved all the Nate friendships and how he vocalized that Sara was bi and I enjoyed Mick Rory more than ever this season as well as his special bond with Amaya... etc, etc. Oh I even found Martin Stein grew on me this season in some interesting ways, it's hard to describe... I'm looking forward to season 3. This show is Pure fun. All of them.
Btw, speaking of Sara... I kind of really love the idea of her with Tommy Merlyn from Arrow?  Not sure if any fics exist where they are together either pre-Gambit or, now that she can travel through time, sometime after she returns from the island and the craziness she is able to get to a world where Tommy is still alive? Idk. I never searched for fics. I've mainly considered vidding these two as an AU I guess. But if you found something along these lines I think I'd be in love. XD

Arrow (2012 TV Series) - uh... any AU femslash possibility, including crossovers of the female characters (Thea, Laurel, Helena, Sara, and Felicity mainly, maybe Sin (Cindy) too) with other arrowverse shows, might be super fun. I especially like the idea of Thea/Laurel now that I think about it... also GEN between these women, female friendships, especially Laurel and Thea both mourning together in the 5 years pre-show? XD Just a thought, not sure if any fics exist for you to podfic that. I like canon-based everything, Tommy is my favorite character, I love Oliver and Diggle a lot though, I love how complicated Moira is, I have found myself even enjoying Slade-centric fics and whatever a random person might surprise me with to ask me to beta. Yes that beta-ing a Slade fic thing happened to me. XD  I lowkey ship canon things like Olicity or even what Lauriver were, especially if the fic is closer to PG-13/PG about the sex parts of their relationships lol... but my OTPs of canon are definitely Walter/Moira (Walter is the best! That ship didn't get enough exploration in canon as far as I'm concerned) and, especially, Tommy/Laurel who I've vidded the most! XD Tommy/Laurel forever. I also like Quentin/Donna, Quentin as a dad in Gen. I really love Quentin. So glad even with his daughters both not on the show he's still around. I really respect when grieving parent characters are allowed to continue to be incorporated into plots. I like Curtis!! Great new character for sure. Big fan. Or Thea/Roy I do like as a ship, I liked them even more at the end of s1, as well as Thea/Tommy or Thea&Tommy because they're kinda canon... even incestuously as a ship they're sort of canon so that exploration could be something I could get into. Quentin/Dinah maybe. Quentin&Oliver I prefer as friendship/gen/interesting exploration of their dynamic without any sexual or slashy component? Oh and I actually adore Sara&Oliver in a weird way? I don't really ship them, but I think the fact that Sara chose to go on the Gambit with him is interesting and then their bond because of their shared island experiences and shared superhero experiences and shared experience of hurting Laurel and all of it is too much to not be fun to see explored sometimes. I just love them in a queerplatonic kinda way, knowing they're sexual but preferring viewing their bond as not necessarily romantic. Also I can ship them (Sara/Oliver) enough to love fanvideos about them and stuff. Idk. It's complicated. Btw if you want to see more of my leanings when it comes to this fandom, check out the Arrow/The Flash fic I wrote for pod-together in 2015. Like Sara being Laurel's (platonic) soulmate (but not vice versa). Two last things I'll mention are: now that Colton Haynes has come out, which btw I was not shocked by (I'd heard the rumors) but was quite happy about... I probably would be more in the mood for anything Roy-centric and even possibly Roy slashy (or het, or gen, whatever) than I might've in the past prior to that point in time. Also now that I like Legends of Tomorrow, I really like Ray's character more so even his time on Arrow would be fun to see explored. (And I'm frustrated that Ray and Roy have such similar names. It's confusing. LOL!) But yeah I didn't care about Ray at first on Arrow, but he and Felicity were not too bad, and then he was on Legends of Tomorrow and I finally fully fell for Ray Palmer, awesomely fun nerd. Donna (Felicity's mother) finally grew on me, like more on more with each season, and Felicity/Billy or something with Oliver's son Wiliam would be fascinating to see (hear) explored, too!! Oh and the new characters, Rory and Rene etc... I really love them all. And I do have a lot of feelings for the Tommy&Oliver friendship, maybe slash but mainly gen for them... they are so complex...

White Collar - At one point I'd exhausted listening to every single Gen White Collar fic on the audiofic archive... which makes me sad! More White Collar gen would be the best!! Lol. I adore Peter&Neal as much as anyone and if it has to be slash rather than gen I probably can enjoy it too. I also didn't realize till my most recent rewatch just how much I really love Mozzie and the extremely deep bond Mozzie&Neal have? Honestly I think the true QPPs of this show are not, as many of my ace friends might like to think, Neal&Peter. Neal/Peter are close friends and partners in work, sure. They are the heart of the series and own my soul, always will. Maybe they're queerplatonic level friendship emotionally. But the platonic partners in life? The queerplatonic in terms of practical measurements/in term of committment?? Mozzie&Neal. Also Mozzie is not conventionally attractive (and I am not, either) and in hindsight that makes me want to pay more attention to him from a fannish perspective. I've also noticed Mozzie is somewhat desexualized/not allowed enough of a love life in canon so anything that explores him more, gives him more fair treatment in the love life department, etc is likely to be something I'd enjoy. In addition, I really like Dianna, Jones, June, Elizabeth, all the characters, I know people OT3 Elizabeth/Neal/Peter and that's not my biggest thing but I could enjoy a fic about them, etc, etc. I'm pretty flexible with this fandom for sure. Canon ship wise my OTP is actually Alex/Neal. I liked Sara/Neal, I don't ship Rebecca/Neal after the reveal of who she is. I never really cared about Kate/Neal that much but I love exploring his grief. Alex is such a great character though?? XD Idk. I just FEEL things for them. I prefer the headcanon that Peter/Elizabeth were happily and purposefully childfree so I didn't like the twist that they had a baby in the season 6, that they were happy and excited to be pregnant?? (And don't get me started on that baby's name, lmao?) And oh, yeah, I didn't actually like the series finale at all? XD My heart is broken. But if you record a fix-it fic about the finale and stuff for me I would eat that up so quickly.

Psych - Not one of my biggest fandoms but it's very fun and I love it, especially Shawn-centric things, especially Shawn gen stuff (with Lassiter, with Gus, with his dad, with whoever, him alone, etc) or Shawn/Juliet. I always did ship Shules, not that passionately, but yeah. I also loved Juliet/Lassiter, as a ship or as friends. Lassiter stuff makes me happy, especially unrequited feelings for people. I did like his endgame ship on the show (Marlowe). I'll also still enjoy it if you want to record something Lassiter slashy for me. :P I'd probably prefer it over any slash in this fandom that doesn't include Lassiter. In 2015 for ITPE I beta'd this Shawn/Lassiter podfic that was heavy on Henry and I was completely falling in love with it even though it was 100% slash, like I was so totally on board with this story.  I loved it so much. I ended up not being finished in time but Dr_Fumbles_McStupid finished it eventually, posted it in January 2017, and it's now here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/9468458. I keep meaning to listen to the finished thing. Also yes Henry&Shawn is one of the best things about this show, that is for sure!! After hearing that in the beta stage, I ended up receiving this completely AMAZING and perfect Gen Lassiter&Shawn fic as a "Treat" and I could not have asked for a better gift, seriously, I was definitely grinning for a full hour the first time I was listening to this thing... http://archiveofourown.org/works/5609791 - this "treat" was by far the longest gift I received for ITPE last year so I kind of consider it my main gift, in a way. ;)

Pretty Little Liars - Oh gosh, this show. I binge watched seasons 1-6a in 2015, just in time for ITPE and then watched seasons 6b-7a before 2016's ITPE. I waited till season 7 was airing before I finally caught up on 6b. After that I was pretty good at keeping up with it as it aired till it ended. Overall, on average, I watched it at a record pace lol, so it's all very fresh for me, just as it was the past two years, especially since I kept up with vidding it most of this time. This is what I wrote up last year, and it all still applies: I would probably enjoy hearing a podfic about anybody at all. This fandom has no podfic and so many awesome ladies and so many amazing characters that I don't even know how they do it. I mean how can they have THAT MANY well developed characters who I'm invested in? My absolute faves are Spencer, and Emily... and Toby, and Alison, and Caleb, and Mike. Yes Mike, I don't care how rare that is to be a fave... Oh yeah, and I totally adore Jason and like Wren a lot too... and find Cece kind of fascinating... I love those characters all so much and anything including them in some capacity would be fun. Crack ships that are het or femslash would make me thrilled as well in this fandom... anything "out there" would be fun. Maybe male slash Caleb/Toby lol. But also you know me, filling in the blanks of canon is also my jam, like one of my favorite things ever. :P I am not super anti- any ships. I don't really ship Aria/Ezra though. So happy endings for them don't do much for me. It's fine if they're part of a larger story or a multi-ship story or a sub-part of some good gen... but if the whole focus is gonna be on just 1 ship, I'd rather you do any other ship. My absolute OTPs that I was hoping would be endgame as of recent are Alison/Emily (yes yay probably gonna happen!), Spencer/Caleb (okay fine I guess not), and Jason/Aria (seems even more unlikely than Spaleb). I know Spaleb is hated but oh my gosh I adored them so much. I also will always love Toby/Spencer but... I also kind of liked the idea of them breaking up for a reasonable, realistic reason and them growing into their new respective romances? XD Anyway I have so many feels about this fandom and it has more fic on fanfiction.net btw than AO3, definitely consider looking there?? XD Any podfic at all, even for ships I don't care much about, would be amazing to receive in this fandom though.

Shameless (US Version) - anything would make me happy in this fandom. I finally caught up through season 7. My favorite characters are Lip and Fiona and Ian all tied in first place, followed closely by Debbie, then Carl. I love the Gallagher family so much. I know Ian/Mickey is the most popular thing by far. I would enjoy a podfic about them, for sure. I tend to like the less popular things slightly more, however. My #1 OTP is Lip/Karen or his current romance I like a lot despite me forgetting his love interest's name at the moment, and also I REALLY love Ian/Trevor, that relationship means a lot to me... so 3 #1 OTPs now maybe... and my crack OTP that I adore the idea of is Mandy/Karen. I enjoy all of Fiona's 4 main canon ships in their own ways but I mainly love her character best in moments relating to her family, including her angst with her parents - or just character study for her? I would be thrilled if you recorded anything in this fandom for me, and don't forget about the option of doing Gen. But I really do like it all.

The Fosters - anything NOT Brandon/Callie would make me happy in this fandom. I just simply don't ship them. I love all of the other canon ships... and the family bonds and friendships... I also don't mind Callie & Brandon as friends. I've been keeping up with everything and I now feel the show is actually quite ableist, especially after reading these reviews: http://toniasays.blogspot.com/search/label/ableism (first posted to tumblr too, let me know if you want the link) and I would love to hear a fic that didn't endorse ableist tendencies toward anyone including Jesus. I... am not the biggest fan of Jude's characterization since he started smoking pot essentially. I feel like they changed him too much.

Smallville - Like I said last year... anything EXCEPT sexual/slashy Clex would be good. That's my one veto, if possible? Friendship Clark&Lex being fine. I know the show very well and appreciate every single canon ship, and if you want to do an AU ship, as long as it's not the very popular Clex I'll be happy. :P  I host a Smallville collab group over on YouTube and I have vidded Clana the most but really do know the entire show really well, and I have enjoyed fanfiction for Chlark, Clois, Lexana. I haven't read very much at all in this fandom though so... surprise me. You can do minor characters, less popular ships, whatever... AUs... I know this show's canon inside and out but know nothing of the fanon really. (I mainly am used to vidding fandom which is almost entirely het so sometimes it's shocking to me how Clex-heavy other parts of Smallville fandom are, like the podfic side.) And then last year I was paired with someone who LOVES Clex, lol see my notes about this whole situation here in a short podfic I dedicated to dancinbutterfly for ITPE last year as NOT my main gift but a side gift... http://archiveofourown.org/works/9165361 XD I did start a longer podfic of Clark/Lex in a non-sexual romance last year and this is the podfic I hope to maybe finish before ITPE reveals?? Idk we'll see...

One Tree Hill - Last year when I checked, there were only two podfics in existence for this fandom, one being literally 1 minute long and the other being a super multi fandom containing Brooke and Lucas which I haven't listened to yet. So literally anything would be good. That being said I am a little picky sometimes in this fandom. My favorite characters are Peyton and Nathan, and I really love Jeyton, Naley, and Clay/Sara as ships as well as Clay/Quinn, and I liked Leyton over Brucas. If I had to pick OTPs probably just Jeyton (meaning Jake/Peyton) and Naley (Nathan/Haley)? I do like all the canon ships somewhat though and I do feel for Brooke and like Brooke/Julian, I'm just not passionate about them. I'm also not super passionate about any of the parent-generations' ships, although Karen/Keith are nice. Also Mouth/Millie are a good ship, I always liked Mouth's ships, even in season 1 I actually shipped Mouth/Brooke I think. I wouldn't mind femslash with Brooke/Peyton, Brooke/Haley, Peyton/Anna, etc. Lots of OTH feels in general, I adore Jamie... and Dan Scott always gives me so many feels. Anything Dan Scott people!! XD Lots of options here, you can do anything you want even if it's not my faves... even if it's Brucas or whatever... I'll still enjoy it! I will. I just thought I'd let you know my feels when it comes to this fandom. For more feels check out: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLED3E296C4C65284D

Orphan Black - I have STILL not seen seasons 4 or 5 yet but I plan to... eventually? Soon, even? Anything in this severely under-podficced fandom would be fine, but I don't adore Cosima/Delphine the way a lot of people do, so while I like them a lot, if you wanted to do something that included another character (or a few) too or instead, I'd be especially thrilled. My OTPs are SoccerCop (Alison/Beth), LumberPunk (Cal/Sarah), and maybe Helena/Gracie or Mark/Gracie. My favorite characters are Sarah, Felix, Alison, Gracie, Beth, Cal, Siobhan, and Cosima. I don't mind Cosima being paired with other women instead of Delphine. I liked her and Shay that one season! I do like Donnie and Alison/Donnie somewhat. If you want to record Cophine for me I'll still be happy. They can be really cute. ;) When seeking out fics I've mainly read Sarah & Felix related gen or something lol. Idk. I also wrote a fic for pod-together lightning almost 3 years ago that was Orphan Black gen.

The Vampire Diaries & The Originals - I fell super behind on these shows, like multiple seasons, but like with Orphan Black I do want to catch up. I love them a lot. Obviously you can do one or the other, but as shows within the same universe you CAN do a crossover/both if you want. I am not passionate about most of the ships right now but I do really love Hayley/Klaus and Stefan/Caroline, maybe Damon/Bonnie as my OTPs of the moment. If I had to pick 1 I'm passionate about, it's Hayley/Klaus. ;) I also like Hayley/Jackson, Josh/Aiden, and Klaus/Cami, and I like both sides of the Stefan/Elena/Damon triangle and enjoyed Stefan/Katherine as well as Elijah/Katherine and Rebekah/Stefan...  I love Matt. And Liz. And Alaric. And Jeremy. Definitely Jeremy. Why don't enough people care about Jeremy?? And I adore Davina!! I am so sad with all the deaths on The Originals this past season, and I didn't ship Davina with anyone as much as just loving HER in general. ;) And loving the Davina/Josh friendship. Josh is a really great character in his own right too. I like Elijah & Hayley much better as a friendship than a ship. I love Elena's friendships, including with fellow orphan Aaron in, um, was that season 5? I forget which season is which sometimes.... I lowkey shipped Aaron/Elena actually. I have a lot of feelings about Katherine. I prefer Matt/Rebekah as an OTP over Rebekah anyone else, probably. I really liked them. Etc. (Note: I did record a Klaus/Caroline podfic once per someone's request but I don't actually ship them, not at all.) I've written an Elijah&Hayley&Klaus fic that was really well received, one of the most popular things I've ever written actually, if you wanted to podfic that... :P And I've written some TVD fics too that I'm less proud of but hey if you like them... XD

Heroes & Heroes Reborn (and I also know the 6 Heroes Reborn "Dark Matters" webisodes that go along with those) - anything is fine except the incestuous ships. Adoption still counts as family. Surprise me with whatever you want in this fandom, but my favorite characters are Peter Petrelli, Molly Walker, Matt Parkman, Mohinder Suresh, Emma Coolidge, Ando Masahashi, maybe Noah Bennet, and idk, I liked Niki best of the characters Ali Larter played and I did love so many others too like DL? And then people from Heroes Reborn!! I really loved Carlos, Jose, Tommy, Emily, Luke (Zac Levi's character), Quentin, and Taylor Kravid? I love the families on this show, I love pretty much everything canon, I interpret most things in a gen way so I prefer that rather than slashing but I'll enjoy it too if you want to gift me slash. I've vidded Heroes a ton. I ship the canon ships, especially Hiro/Charlie, Peter/Emma... Matt/Daphne, Mohinder/Eden & Mohinder/Maya... Tommy/Emily? Maybe Carlos/Farah. Etc. Idk. I also liked Claire/Gretchen or Claire/West or Claire/Alex (the guy with gills?) - I especially like Alex because I also love that actor's character on Jane the Virgin and on Everwood... XD I also just always like femslash so Claire/Gretchen, why not. :P

House (also known as House M.D.) - I would rather not hear a podfic about House and Wilson in a sexual relationship. I adore their friendship SO MUCH, and I also love the whole show and any of the canon ships would be fun to hear a fic about, or Gen? I love gen. Last year for ITPE I received an amazing treat/extra podfic gift that was House gen and I adored that. I really like the whole show, all seasons. I shipped House/Cameron when I was young but when I revisited the show I didn't really like them as much, I prefer them more as friends? House/Cuddy became my OTP when I binge-watched the entire series while recovering from surgery lol. Or really queerplatonic-ish House&Wilson is my true love when it comes to this show. But I do like Cameron/Chase, Foreman/Thirteen, other dynamics... really there's a lot that is great here. Some of the patients are so memorable and I could always rewatch an episode if a podfic I receive inspires me...

What To Expect When You're Expecting - the Marco/Rosie parts are my main jam, which is good since all the fanfiction I've seen is also about them lol? That's the part of the film that speaks to my soul, not really the other characters. I think most fandom folks agree. This film might not have been that memorable as a whole but this one subplot was so beautiful. See also that they got included as one of my top 50 OTPs in my birthday collab this year? Okay actually it's just 50 of my top OTPs but still!

Back to the Future trilogy - I've watched these films a lot in my lifetime. ;) All 3. Yes. And I've seen some of the actors in other things since then, most notably perhaps if you're thinking about cover art, Lea Thompson is on on Switched at Birth and I adore her character and think she's so pretty. ;) And Michael J. Fox in plenty of things of course!! I especially loved him being featured so prominently in The Good Wife so recently. I know I'd strongly prefer het or gen in this fandom, but slash is probably the most popular thing so if you're dying to do slash I'll live. For what it's worth a slow burn or slow exploration of friends to lovers would make me happier if you're slashing any of the characters than if it's jumping right into assumed slash...

~~~

For all of the rest/the following 33 fandoms (2 film, 31 television): I'm not picky. ;) I usually sure have my own OTPs but it doesn't matter. Just give me whatever inspires YOU. I don't really have NOTPs in these, at least not for PODFIC as a medium. I just really want something, ANYTHING, from these fandoms with very very few podfics. My general guidelines above about squicks vs. what I love still apply, but if you want to record something that deals with one of my squicks in any of the below fandoms I'll still be happy because the fandom is rarely podficced and because I generally like the whole fandom.

No matter what Kara does, she's not going to fit in on Earth. But so what?

So what if she slips up sometimes when trying to pass as a human? So what if she has not yet perfected the art of being a superhero the way her cousin has?

She can't be anything other than herself, so she supposes she might as well embrace it and declare that truth to the world. Everyone is gonna have to get used to it.

~~~~~

Yay I made a full length vid! ;) My first ever vid in this fandom. I love this show. I love Kara so much. This was made for Festivids, as a gift dedicated to Azar. http://fv-poster.dreamwidth.org/310564.html

Let me know if you have any questions!

(Only the first 9 episodes of the series are included in the vid.)



If you could please comment on the YouTube vid, (link above, directly under the vid...) I'd appreciate it!

Also if you want a download link, let me know asap and let me know what size & format you want it in. It's already rendered in 1080p .wmv which plays all wrong on my computer, doesn't even look 16:9 widescreen on my computer, but I'm still using an old Windows XP machine so that may be the problem. I can re-render it in my Sony Vegas a number of ways, just let me know, though.

~~~~~

Voiceovers:

Leslie Willis: It is time for my annual list of things I am not grateful for. And this year's list is only... one item: Supergirl!

Kara: It's my family's coat of arms.

Maxwell Lord: The world's most unreliable superhero!

Kara: I can't be in two places at once!

Alex: Why did you hesitate?

Cat: Do me a favor and take off your glasses.

Kara: I'm not Supergirl.

Cat: Every minute that you waste playing assistant in here is a minute that someone out there is not getting saved.

Hank Henshaw: You *cannot* lose control like that!

Cat: So the flying, the super strength, the freezy-breath thing...
Kara: I'm still working on that last one.
Cat: Oh.... So you're not up to his level yet.
[heat vision sound effect]
Kara: I wouldn't say that.

Hank Henshaw: I don't trust aliens.
Kara: I started this. You have to let me stop it.

Alex: Kara risks her life to protect other people, and she is a hero.

Kara: It's not *her* fault that I decided to become Supergirl.

Alura's hologram: There is no correct path in life.

Kara: That was *my* choice.

Alura's hologram: Be wise. Be strong. And always be true to yourself.

James: No hero can save everyone. But a real hero never stops trying.

James: You being killed is not going to help anybody!

Cat: What is she going to do when she has to face a real threat? Oh, I know! She'll call her cousin.

James: You don't even need powers... to be a hero.

Hey there, podficcer! ;) I'm excited to be participating in this exchange for the first time. I'm sorry for the long length of this letter. Please bear with me. ;)

Fandoms (all are fine for both sending and receiving) - all are TV fandoms: Glee, Gilmore Girls, Criminal Minds, The Flash (2014 TV Series), Psych, Veronica Mars, Pretty Little Liars, Shameless (US Version), Queer as Folk (US Version), Switched at Birth, The Fosters, Chasing Life, Greek, Kyle XY, Parenthood (2010 TV series), Orphan Black, Continuum, Being Erica, Saving Hope, Motive, Rookie Blue, Smallville, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Heroes and Heroes Reborn (and I also know the Heroes Reborn "Dark Matters" webseries that go along with those), Faking It (2014 TV series), Finding Carter, The 100, Covert Affairs, Friday Night Lights, Everwood, Blindspot (2015 TV series), Joan of Arcadia, and House (also known as House M.D.).


I know way more TV series/movies than this and listen to podfics in larger ones sometimes too but I would really love for this exchange to only receive/only work within one of these 34 fandoms. ;)


I don't have any actual triggers. At least not the PTSD kind. I was traumatized by my abusive mother so her name and a few other things might sort of trigger me -- like a grief trigger kind of way -- but I'll live if it's in a fic. :P


Things I probably will have trouble enjoying if you record a fic including them:

Pro-religion/faith fics -- or anything demonizing non-belief. It's fine if the character is religious and it's explored or mentioned in a fic that they believe, especially if their religiousness is canon. I just don't like feeling preached to. I'm an atheist. I've written about characters praying and believing though. It's just the evangelizing to the "reader" (listener) in fic form that upsets me.

Fics that promote corporal punishment as a valid way for parents to discipline children (I have gotten uncomfortable reading fics like these in the past, believe it or not).

Fics with non-canonical huge age differences in ships, like parent or teacher characters being paired with high schoolers, even if the high schooler is all grown up in the fic. :P So basically, I don't want to listen to a story about huge age gaps for ships that are non-canonical. However, if someone's written about a student who really dated her teacher in the TV show, or something like that, that's different, because it's canon. I can listen to a that.

Non-canonical incest in most cases.

Podfics where over 15% of it is porn. (I'm asexual and somewhat sex-averse, although I can listen to sex scenes sometimes, especially if it's part of a larger plot. I can also enjoy it a lot more if the oneshot is a "cute" kind of sex scene, like with giggling and awkwardness stuff in it, FYI!)

Fics that erase asexuality as an identity or "cure" it or anything offensive to an asexual person like me... :P A line in a character's dialogue or their POV narration about how "everyone is sexual" I can live with, a line from an author/omniscient narrator might hurt a bit more... :P But the main problem is if the entire story, or a whole section of it (more than just a line) is anti-aces. Of course, I also don't want to hear biphobic or transphobic fics, I'm a strong ally of all LGBTQPIA+ identities.

Some of the MANY things I really love in fics:

I especially love Gen fics, meaning family or friendship or character study focused with preferably canon background ships, I'll live if it's fanon or other background ships though. :P I mean I'll also enjoy a LOT of non-gen stuff. It's just that I particularly love Gen.

I love canon-based fics, filling in the blanks of canon, giving us scenes we never got on the show but should've, giving us scenes we did get but from inside a character's head, etc, etc.

I love extreme angst and drama. I'm not afraid of a non-happy ending, a major character death even if non-canonical, a fic all about grief, about rape or about some other kind of extreme trauma if dealt with as appropriately serious and in a realistic way. I love fics dealing with child abuse and/or being a survivor of it because I myself am a survivor of my mother's abuse and even if I can't relate exactly I can often relate to parts of it and I really love that experience, it's cathartic and I love different people's take on it in fanfiction. I like stories about cancer and terminal illnesses etc -- medical shows in general are my jam and so was Chasing Life (sucks that it was just canceled). I don't shy away from suicidal thoughts/suicides/grief either. Those fics can be amazing.

I also love cute fluffiness. Honestly I'm pretty easy to please. :P Happy endings make me happy too, of course. Etc.

I love fics that explore coming out or understanding/figuring out a character's own queerness, or the process of questioning, coming to terms with it, embracing it, etc etc. Any form of queerness. Including of course asexuality, or ace-spectrum stuff, or aromantic-spectrum stuff, but also any other form of queerness, like being gay or bi or trans etc... :P

I like hurt/comfort of any variety, silly to really extreme.

I LOVE adoption or fostering in fics, and also have a thing for female pregnancy -- even when cliche like with Teen pregnancy or whatever.

I like disabilities/mental illnesses/etc explored in fics, especially headcanons that a character could really have it in canon as a reasonable interpretation. Those can be so amazing. Also AU of what if a character had this disability can work great or exploring canonical disabiltiies on fandoms of mine that have them.

I especially love podfics for underrated/often forgotten about characters. ;)

I tend to like, in order from most to least, Gen best, then all canon ships, doesn't matter if they're het or slash or femslash, then AU ships with characters' canonical sexual orientations in tact, then AU femslash ships between canonically straight characters, and finally AU male slash ships between canonically straight characters. So yeah, I like femslash more than male slash... but I do like all of it. And I'm mainly a canon girl.
          (People don't tend to do AU het ships between canonically gay characters, usually that's considered offensive in fandom as a whole. I probably wouldn't enjoy a lot of cases of it, mainly since I already have a tiny bit of trouble re-interpreting a character's sexual orientation, but if an author interprets a character as bi instead of gay it could work in some cases in a fun and non-offensive way. If you want to podfic something like that go for it and I'll be intrigued.)


If in doubt, it's probably fine. I enjoy being challenged to enjoy new things.

So about my fave characters & ships, and other preferences, within fandoms!

Glee - I kind of love everything in this fandom, exceptions being what Tina became after season 1, and I don't feel much for Mercedes or Mike either. I'd strongly prefer the fic not be about one of those 3. I really really love everyone else. :P I'm desperate to be exposed to some good post-season 6 explorations of Rachel/Sam as endgame or, alternately, how endgame Rachel/Jesse came to be. I adore Quinn/Puck as an OTP. I do ship Emma/Will, but I don't mind anti-Will sentiments either. I like both Klaine and Kurtofsky and also don't mind anti-Klaine stuff in Karofsky based fics or anti-Karofsky stuff in Klaine fics, even if I am personally a multi-shipper. I like Artie, Sam, Quinn/Sam... and I also like Marley so much, and Marley/Jake, but don't mind Marley/Ryder either. I love Beiste in every form, including definitely fics from pre-season 6 and him transitioning to male. I kind of don't like that he was made trans. If you record a Beiste fic with female pronouns I will enjoy it. Nothing transphobic, just that she's a gender-nonconforming cis woman in that fic. Rachel mourning Finn really gets to me (in a really good way! I love it), and I like Finchel and Brittana and most of the canon ships. Hummel-Hudson family fics or fics including Burt and/or Carole are my weakness. I adore them so much. I like to interpret Quinn as heteroromantic bisexual and Santana as homoromantic bisexual. :P I don't mind the idea of bisexual Blaine either. It was almost canon in season 2, anyway. I like to interpret Marley and Beiste as asexual, and Kurt and Emma as demisexuals or gray-asexuals. None of these interpretations are required -- they're pretty rare lol. But I'm not the only one to interpret a lot of the characters this way.

Gilmore Girls - my #1 OTP of all time, out of all of my fandoms, is Rory/Jess. I really adore them. I also like Lorelai/Christopher a LOT, not in the endgame sense but in the exploration of what they were. I support endgame Lorelai/Luke. I also love Paris and Lane and any ship you want to give either girl, het or femslash. I don't mind other canon Rory or Lorelai ships explored in fic form though, any Gilmore Girls podfic would be wonderful even if it's anti-my ship or whatever...  or original characters explored with Rory either. Jess character studies or exploration of his family relationships is everything to me.  This fandom means so much to me and I doubt I'll match with anyone on it but yeah. I figured I'd list my preferences just in case.

Criminal Minds - Sexual stuff in this fandom squicks me out a little more than in other fandoms, because I'm so not used to it, ESPECIALLY for non-canonical orientations for the characters. I love how asexual and platonic this fandom is in canon, and my favorite fanfiction stuff explores gen (meaning non-romance), or explores PG-romances. I mean, the show is very violent and rated TV-14 most of the time -- your fic can be similarly extreme in terms of that kind of thing, or possibly worse -- feel free to do rated R or rated MA for violence/gore and I'll be fine. I love Reid finding love, with original characters or canon characters, but I don't want to hear a fic about his sex life in more than a vague way, especially since I am pretty attached to the common headcanon that he is asexual. Other characters I accept as more sexual lol... I'll live with some sex... and I like all of the characters, ALL of them, including the one-season characters. I love this whole show.

The Flash (2014 TV Series) - yes I know the Arrow verse too, but I have been loving The Flash so much more than Arrow lately so I only wanted to list The Flash as a fandom for this ITPE. A crossover would be okay with Arrow though. Just... make sure there's some The Flash. My OTP on this show is Barry/Iris. I also just love Iris a lot, so any ship for her, including crossovers into Arrow, either het or femslash, would probably make me happy. Sex stuff probably would squick me out more in this fandom than in a lot of fandoms. (Like what I just said above from Criminal Minds.) You can have characters experiencing lust/attraction and of course romantic feelings, but if you could avoid the actual sex scenes I'd be happier. Barry and either or both of his two dads (Henry or Joe) would make me so happy in a fic. Or Henry alone, or with someone else, or Joe with someone else of course... I love those characters in their own right as well, Barry or not. I do love Caitlin and Cisco. I do not support Caitlin/Ronnie at all, they're my anti-ship of the canon. :P I liked Eddie a lot. Barry is my heart and soul and why I adore the fandom.

Psych - Not one of my biggest fandoms but it's very fun and I love it, especially Shawn-centric things, especially Shawn gen stuff (with Lassiter, with Gus, with his dad, with whoever, him alone, etc) or Shawn/Juliet. I always did ship Shules, not that passionately, but yeah. 
I also loved Juliet/Lassiter. Lassiter stuff makes me happy, especially unrequited feelings for people. I did like his endgame ship on the show. I'll also still enjoy it if you want to record something Lassiter slashy for me. :P I'd probably prefer it over male slash in this fandom that doesn't include Lassiter.


Pretty Little Liars - Oh gosh, this show. I just finished watching the entire show for the first time -- and I watched it at a record pace lol, so it's all very fresh for me. I would probably enjoy hearing a podfic about anybody at all. My absolute faves are Spencer, and Emily... and Toby, and Alison, and Mike. Yes Mike, don't ask. Lol. Oh yeah, and I totally adore Jason and like Wren a lot too... and find Cece kind of fascinating... I love those characters all so much and anything including them in some capacity would be fun. Crack ships that are het or femslash would make me thrilled as well in this fandom... anything "out there" would be fun. But also you know me, filling in the blanks of canon is also my jam, like one of my favorite things ever. :P I am not super anti- any ships. I don't really ship Aria/Ezra though. So happy endings for them don't do much for me. It's fine if they're part of a larger story or a multi-ship story or a sub-part of some good gen... but if the whole focus is gonna be on just 1 ship, I'd rather you do any other ship.

Shameless (US Version) - anything would make me happy in this fandom but my favorite characters are Lip and Fiona, although I also love Carl, Ian, Debbie, etc. I love the Gallagher family so much. I know Ian/Mickey is the most popular thing by far. I would enjoy a podfic about them, for sure. My #1 OTP is Lip/Karen, though, and my crack OTP that I adore the idea of is Mandy/Karen. I enjoy all of Fiona's 3 main canon ships in their own ways, especially her husband this past season and Jimmy/Steve. I would be thrilled if you recorded anything in this fandom for me, and don't forget about the option of doing Gen.

The Fosters - anything NOT Brandon/Callie would make me happy in this fandom. I just simply don't ship them. I love all of the other canon ships... and the family bonds and friendships... I also don't mind Callie & Brandon as friends.

Smallville - anything not sexual or romantic Clex would be good, including friendship Clark&Lex being fine. I know the show very well and appreciate every single canon ship, and if you want to do an AU ship, as long as it's not the very popular Clex I'll be happy. :P  I host a Smallville collab group over on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ViddersofSteel/videos and I have vidded Clana the most but really do know the entire show really well, and I have enjoyed fanfiction for Chlark, Clois, Lexana. I haven't read very much at all in this fandom though so... surprise me.

Orphan Black - anything in this severely under-podficced fandom would be fine, but I don't adore Cosima/Delphine the way a lot of people do, so while I like them a lot, if you wanted to do something that included another character (or a few) too or instead, I'd be especially thrilled. My OTPs are SoccerCop (Alison/Beth), LumberPunk (Cal/Sarah), and maybe Helena/Gracie or Mark/Gracie. My favorite characters are Sarah, Felix, Alison, Gracie, Beth, Cal, Siobhan, and Cosima. I don't mind Cosima being paired with other women instead of Delphine. I liked her and Shay this past season! I do like Donnie and Alison/Donnie somewhat. If you want to record Cophine for me I'll still be happy. They can be really cute. ;)

The Vampire Diaries & The Originals - obviously you can do one or the other, but as shows within the same universe you CAN do a crossover/both if you want. I am not passionate about most of the ships right now but I do really love Hayley/Klaus and Stefan/Caroline as my OTPs of the moment. If I had to pick 1 I'm passionate about, it's Hayley/Klaus. ;) I also like Hayley/Jackson and Klaus/Cami, and I like both sides of the Stefan/Elena/Damon triangle and enjoyed Stefan/Katherine as well as Elijah/Katherine...  I love Matt. And Liz. And Jeremy. Definitely Jeremy. Why don't enough people care about Jeremy?? And I adore Davina. ;) I like Elijah & Hayley much better as a friendship than a ship.  (Note: I did record a Klaus/Caroline podfic once per someone's request but I don't actually ship them, not at all.)

The 100 - I actually have non-canon sexual orientation OTPs on this show. Shocker! I adore the idea of bisexual Raven so much and femslash her with Clarke so hard as my main OTP of the show. I also like Raven so much and enjoy her canon ships, really her paired with anybody or in gen. I slash ship Thelonious Jaha/Marcus Kane. :P I would enjoy Abby/Kane or Abby/Jaha fic too but my OTP amongst the adults is Jaha/Kane. I do enjoy Clarke/Anya, Clarke/Lexa, Clarke/Bellamy... Idk. I like Octavia but her paired with Lincoln bore me. I just am not Lincoln's biggest fan, perhaps? Still I'd be excited to hear a Lincoln/Clarke or Lincoln/Raven fic probably lol. Octavia/Clarke could be interesting, or Octavia/Raven, maybe? :P  I think my Octavia OTP is Octavia/Jasper. Jasper's canon ships all make me happy and I love Monty too, including Jasper/Monty, although them as just friends is just as good to me. You could also do polyamory for me with this show...

Heroes & Heroes Reborn (and I also know the 6 Heroes Reborn "Dark Matters" webisodes that go along with those) - anything is fine except the incestuous ships. I love the Petrelli brothers as brothers. I like Paire as a friendship. I like how much HRG aka Noah Bennett loves his adopted daughter but just because they're not related by blood do NOT think that means they don't count as incest because um yeah please no. Don't do that to me.

House (also known as House M.D.) - I would rather not hear a podfic about House and Wilson in a sexual or romantic relationship. I adore their friendship SO MUCH, and I also love the whole show and any of the canon ships would be fun to hear a fic about, or Gen?

For all of the following fandoms: I'm not picky. ;) I have my own OTPs but it doesn't matter. Just give me whatever inspires YOU. I don't really have NOTPs in these. I just really want something, ANYTHING, from these fandoms with very very few podfics.

Being Erica [TV]

Details

I've recently rewatched this entire series and I simply adore it. I ship both Erica/Kai and Erica/Adam. I adore Adam and Kai as characters in their own rights. I adore Dr. Tom too, and the complex character that is Josh... and I think Sam/Lennon are adorable, and I've vidded Dr. Tom&Erica before in a platonic light, and I'd love to see them again, this time vidded by someone other than me. I'd love a cast tribute to the series as a whole, a character study of Erica, or character studies of others, or so many other potential things in this show.

---

Bob's Burgers [TV]

Details

So I haven't seen THAT many episodes of this show yet, but I have loved every episode that I've seen so far. I find it a simple, sweet, heartwarming family sitcom with a lot of humor, pretty much all of which makes me smile at the very least. My favorite character is Bob himself. If you vid the show, I'd prefer for Bob to be inclu ded in some way in the video. I'd enjoy any vid that encourages me to check out more of the show (and yay to the fact it's on Netflix! So that's an easy thing to do). I'd also enjoy seeing the show captured in either a very lighthearted/fun/silly way OR if you paint a more serious drama using clips the show has to offer. Whatever you want. Make an AU vid if you want, or just a compilation of funny moments, or whatever!! Be creative.

---

Dead Like Me [TV]

Details

I saw this show years ago and I don't remember it too well but I know so many of the actors from other fandoms of mine... and I know I adored it. I loved everything about it, from what I remember, especially the interesting philosophical take on the nature of life and death, so a vid with voiceovers would probably make me the most happy when it comes to this fandom. I think George and Mason were my two favorite characters. I like everyone, though. Vid whatever you want from this fandom and I'll enjoy it.

---

Faking It [TV]

Details

I like everything about this show. A typical Karmy vid would be nice, but what I'd probably like better is a more unique/unusal type of vid, meaning a character study of anyone, or an undervidded relationship or love triangle, or something AU, or idk. Just be creative. Even a Karmy vid set to an unusual type of song choice might be fun - I don't mind misgendering lyrics if it means the song is a unique choice that couldn't otherwise be vidded, especially if the rest of the lyrics other than the misgendering ones are perfect. I actually like Liam's character, I don't hate any of the main characters so vid what you want!

---

Nashville US (2012) [TV]

Music

Don't feel obligated to stick to country for this show! :P Although those vids make me smile, and vids set to songs sung on the show itself make my heart swell with all sorts of amazing emotions... but seriously a Nashville vid set to a rock song or power ballad or hip hop/punk/funk/rap tune or WHATEVER, a Britney Spears song... you know I'd love to see it all, and honestly non-country would be more unique for this fandom and in that sense more fun in a lot of ways!

Details

Oh gosh I have so many feelings and faves on this show. I guess just I'd strongly prefer if you didn't give me a Rayna/Deacon or a Juliette/Avery romance vid. Those two ships are what I've seen vidded the most on this show and they're fine, I like them, but I'd love something different. I'd love a character study of someone, an exploration of Layla/Will or a less popular ship like one of Scarlett's or so many other options... I love platonic themed vid so you could vid any one of the parent/child relationships or many/all of them (I'm talking about how Gunnar just realized he had a son, Juliette/her mom, Scarlett/her mom, Maddie and her 3 parents, Rayna and her parents, etc, etc) or so many other options. I kind of adore Scarlett. And idk. Just do whatev er you're inspired for. If it has to be Rayna/Deacon or Juliette/Avery I'll probably enjoy that too.

---

Pitch Perfect (2012) [Movie]

Details

Um, Anna Kendrick and Brittany Snow are my babies. Like for real. Because both actresses were in the film, I had to check it out. And it was fun. I like Beca as a main character. I like Chloe as a side character. I totally can femslash ship Beca/Chloe hard but I also don't mind Beca/Jesse, or tributes to the movie as a whole (non-ship-focused vids). This is not one of my favorite fandoms out of those I am requesting, but because we have to request a "SAFETY" I did. ;) And regardless, I of course *would* enjoy seeing it vidded. I would. I adore these two actresses from other things (such as the TV series American Dreams, and the film What to Expect when You're Expecting), and I likePitch Perfect - it reminds me a lot of Glee, which is basically my #1 fandom. So yeah, if you vid this film for me and Beca appears in some capacity, I'd be happy. I'd really enjoy seeing Anna Kendrick set to music. You could make an AU femslash vid using footage of the actresses in outside fandoms too; even Beca/Aubrey would be okay by me even if I prefer Beca/Chloe because of Brittany Snow.

---

Six Feet Under [TV]

Details

David owns my soul on this show. I love the show as a whole, but honestly my favorite parts of it were ALWAYS David-related. OR Nate-and-his-AVM-brain-condition related. I loved scenes dealing with Nate's mortality, him having to confide in people about his diagnosis, him preparing for risky surgery, and his death. I kind of hated Brenda/Nate but if you vid them in an anti-way I could love the vid. I also grew to like Brenda by the very end of the series. And I really liked the relationship Brenda ended up having with her step-daughter Maya. I loathed Lisa. I adored David/Keith. They're my OTP of the show, a million times over. I also really really loved the brotherly relationship between David & Nate, although I loved all of the sibling dynamics - so David&Claire and Nate&Claire too. I loved Rico/Vanessa, and considered vidding them once upon a time, perhaps with an angsty song given all of their drama and the cheating storyline. But I loved them in a sweet way too. I loved Rico and his complicated relationship with David due to Rico's homophobia and David's homosexuality. I have vidded Claire more than anyone and liked her experimenting with bisexuality/same-sex attraction. I loved Claire/Gabe. I liked all of her storylines, really. But David's my fave. Vid the show as a whole or a shippy David/Keith vid or just a Nate character study or Ruth or Nathaniel Sr. or whoever you want and I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Even a positive Brenda/Nate tribute would be interesting and well-worth watching. :D

---

The Flash (2014) [TV]

Details

Um... Barry. Poor baby. I love Barry Allen more than words can describe. I love everything about his scenes so far. I love his relationship with both his dad and Joe. (And his dead mother, too, for that matter.) I could see myself shipping him with either Iris or Caitlin, although I also would be happy if both of those relationships remained platonic. Honestly, I'm not too picky. Oh and I like Barry/Felicity too. Because they are lovely. I like Barry & Oliver (The Arrow)'s friendship as well. If you don't want to make a Barry-centric vid, then a character study of Caitlin or Iris might be something I'd enjoy. I always love beautiful female characters... ;) I also actually am growing to love Joe too and a character tribute to him might be nice, especially as I expect him to always remain severely undervidded and underappreciated. Etc. Just some ideas.
