As I turn 41, I feel lucky to have a family that I love very much and a job that I like very much. But sometimes the world can feel small when one has young kids, and one of my birthday wishes this year is to feel meaningfully connected to a community that goes beyond just family and work. So this is my virtual birthday card, and I am hoping that maybe some people would like to take a moment to write some nice things in it! If my presence in the world has improved your life in some way, it would make me feel very good to hear about it!

Hello! Thank you so much for whatever you make for me. I'm so excited at the thought of you making a podfic for me to love!!!

Here are some helpful tips. Feel free to take the wants with a grain of salt if you find a fic you're excited about, as long as it doesn't cross any of the Do Not Want lines. If you want a second opinion on whether or not I'd like something, you can check with @laliandra/@mllelal, who knows my tastes well.

Things I love:
-I love canon. I ship canon 90% of the time (and when I ship something else, like in the case of Swan Queen, it's because I see their romantic feelings as canon even if they haven't acted on them). I like main characters, and I just generally am a fan of fanworks that respect the canon and treat it as Good. Good-natured making fun of canon is awesome (for example Harry Potter fics that clearly love the books but make fun of the rules of Quidditch), but angry jabs at canon are a turnoff for me.
-I love stories that make me think and/or hold important ideas about life and the world
-I love sincerity and big emotions
-I love well-intentioned characters
-Dire Peril is great as long as everybody we care about survives. Yay intensity! Also yay to people getting angry or upset and having intense fights, as long as they work things out by the end
-I love slow build romantic/sexual tension
-Humor is great, especially if it's the characters being funny on purpose, but also if it's humor around how faily and ridic they sometimes are
-I am very pleased with fic that involves kids (not at all a requirement, but definitely in the plus rather than the minus column for me)
-I love Broadway and I love musicals. If a story references a musical (or incorporates singing, if you're up for it), I consider that a plus!
-I love experimental podfic. Trying something new/weird/different as an ITPE gift for me, while not required, would make me SO! EXCITED!
-Groundhog Day AUs and similar types of time travel story are super fun and interesting and cathartic and I love them

Things I do not want:
-Permanent character death (canon character deaths being referenced is fine), unless it's along the lines of a villain in a superhero-type story
-Unhappy ending
-Serious injury or death of kids, especially babies, including miscarriages etc. It's okay if a kid/baby/pregnant person is in danger as part of the plot as long as they are fine by the end
-D/s universe

Fandoms I'm most excited about currently (OTP indicated):
Boy Meets World (Cory/Shawn/Topanga), Les Mis (Enjolras/Grantaire), The Flash (Barry/Captain Cold), and also an RPF one that I'm not going to name in an unlocked post, but see the fandom of the podfic I posted July 9th 2017 on my AO3 (any pairing).

If you can't find anything in those that works, I also like:
Once Upon a Time (Swan Queen), Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Jake/Amy or gen), Harry Potter (Harry/Draco), Steven Universe (Pearl/anyone or gen), Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (anything), most Broadway musicals, or in a pinch if you can find me any nice OT3 fic, even if the canon is new to me, I would be pleased.

I participated in the #informaltwitterpodficexchange this holiday season, and my recipient was [profile] littleroo27. I wasn't sure how much time I was going to have, so I decided to choose a few different tiny ficlets to record as discrete units. These ficlets kept *almost* fitting a pattern (4 were Harry/Draco, 3 or 4 involved kissing, 2 were based on pieces of fanart, etc.) but there was no one thing that was true of all five, so I threw up my hands and named the compilation accordingly, and then [personal profile] bessyboo gave me lovely cover art to put on the front. So, without further ado, I present:


Authors: [personal profile] twentysomething, [livejournal.com profile] melusinahp, [personal profile] anna_unfolding, Aja, and [personal profile] laliandra
Total length: 23:58
(Direct download | Mediafire download)


It consists of the following five podficlets--1 Glee, 4 Harry Potter )

This is one of two masterlists I keep of bandom podfic. This is all the MCR podfic that I know of. I keep an eye in a lot of places, but if you see something I've missed, please let me know via comment or PM. Most of these podfics are also available at jinjurly's archive, which is more searchable and tbh now that it's updated this list is a bit obsolete. But HERE IT IS ANYWAY FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE.

Links to podbook (m4b) versions, when not included in the reader's initial post, are in superscript following the story title.

Title: Give and Take (Join [livejournal.com profile] missbwrites for access)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] miss_begonia
Reader: klb ([livejournal.com profile] podklb)
Fandom: Glee
Pairing: Kurt/Blaine
Rating: PG
Length: 0:07:51

Direct link to Give and Take mp3: Here (right-click save to download)
Mediafire link to Give and Take mp3: Here

Reader's Note: This is possibly the most difficult podfic I've ever made. For whatever reason, it took forever to get it the way I wanted—I had to record six different takes, and I've spent well over an hour in editing for each minute of completed podfic. I've been telling people that this podfic is made of 80% sweat and tears at this point, and I'm thrilled to be posting largely because that means I have won this great weekend-long battle. (A lot of the credit for that goes to [livejournal.com profile] laliandra, who stepped in as emergency beta this afternoon and helped immeasurably.)

That said, I'm actually really happy with the final product. [livejournal.com profile] miss_begonia's Kurt/Blaine and Darren/Chris stories were what first got me hooked on this pairing, which I have been head over heels for ever since. This little story is full of love and sweetness, and I am thrilled to have given voice to it. Enjoy!

Title: Building Jerusalem (Directions Not Included) - Book 1
Author: [livejournal.com profile] amproof
Readers: [livejournal.com profile] podklb, [livejournal.com profile] poppetawoppet, [livejournal.com profile] shiningartifact
Fandoms: American Idol S8, NCIS
Pairings: Kris/Katy, Kris/Adam, Kris/Adam/Katy, Adam/Drake
Rating: NC-17
Length: 3:45:48
Summary: The Washington D.C. tour stop goes horribly wrong when Kris and Adam are involved in an altercation with three off-duty sailors that ends with one dead, Adam hanging onto life by a thread, and Kris accused of murder. A novel of love, desire, redemption, regret, and denial--not necessarily in that order.
Mediafire mp3 links: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

About this podfic: The first time I read this story, I stayed up all night finishing it. It was just such a vivid and interesting portrayal of prison. It was claustrophobic and intense and awful and totally wonderful. Somebody else had already asked to podfic it, but I told [personal profile] amproof that if there was ever a way I could get to do any part of it, I would jump at the chance. And to my delight, a couple weeks later she emailed saying she was thinking of doing it as a multi-reader podfic, and she wanted me as Kris. Which is my favorite of the POVs, because that's where all the really serious prison stuff happens. So I was very pleased.

Three voices, four hours, one story. Yay!

SUPER MEGA BONUS ETA: The first five scenes of Book 2. Please note that there is no intention to record the rest of Book 2 or Book 3, but the text can be found here (locked community with open membership; join to read).
