Hello Dear Podficcer! I'm so excited about this exchange and to hear what you record for me!

A Non-Exhaustive List of Things I Like:
- Fake married
- Accidentally married/woke up married
- secret married!!
- why do so many of my favorite tropes involve marriage?? who knows.
- Groundhog day/reincarnation (they keep meeting and/or dying over and over until they get it right)
- Emotional vulnerability is hard, but they're Trying Their Best
- Pining, oh dear god the pining
- Getting together
- Established relationship
- Origin stories and character studies
- Humor and banter
- Outsider POV
- Time travel
- I love canon divergence/altered canon/what-if stories, but not full-out AUs (coffeeshop, no-powers, vampire, etc etc).
- Fics with bombastically happy endings
- Gentle fics that quietly cup you in their palms and support you through the tough emotions and maybe it's not all okay at the end, but you feel like it probably could be okay eventually
- Fics that are so pretty and so poetic and also stab you in the chest just a little.
- Robots, robot/human relationships, robots developing emotions because we can't help but make them in our own image

Do not wants:

- pregnancy fic, kid fic, or de-aged fic
- curtain fic (I like fluff, but not when there isn't plot or character study or a little something else going on emotionally too)
- heavy secondhand embarrassment
- infidelity
- unrequited love
- Hazing. i.e. anything a person has to do when joining a group/organization that doesn't have a purpose beyond embarrassing, inconveniencing, shaming, or hurting them. The power dynamic of new person vs established group is what makes this bad for me. Teammates who have been together a long time pranking each other etc is fine.

Generally the maximum amount of violence I like in fic is proportional to the maximum amount of violence in a particular canon.
All ratings are welcomed. I'm not into PWPs, but sex scenes as part of a larger story are great!
My own work is generally very self indulgent and recorded for me, so my own podfics are a good indicator of what I like.

Fandom-specific interests, in no particular order:

The Locked Tomb
- love Harrow/Gideon
- weird skeleton sex
- Camilla and Sextus, either gen or shippy (I'm forever in my feelings about 'go loud', a scene which I have re-read at least 15 times)
- Harrow/Ianthe where everything is fucked up in a delicious way??
- Mercymorn is terrible and I LOVE HER SO MUCH
- deep dives into any and all side characters and pre-canon worldbuilding
- literally, all of the side characters, I mean it
- definitely no modern/mundane AUs

Star Wars Rogue One
- Really only interested in Cassian/K2 for shipping in this fandom. Also into gen fic
- Pre-canon fic
- Fic that ends where the movie ends. Aka everyone dying, but it's hopeful and their sacrifice isn't in vain.
- Everybody lives AUs. Celebratory or growing through the trauma of their experience, all good stuff.
- No thank you to "some die, some live" fic
- K2-focused fic about what are emotions, when is a robot a person, all of that messy philosophical stuff

Thrilling Adventure Hour
- Beyond Belief is my favorite segment and I love Frank/Sadie SO MUCH.
- Captain Laserbeam or Sparks Nevada content would also be top tier
- For Sparks Nevada shipping, I'm fond of Croach/Sparks/Red and Sparks/Ginny

Leverage: Redemption
- I love all parts of Leverage, but I'm specifically asking for fic that has been written since Leverage: Redemption premiered
- Eliot/Parker/Hardison is my forever ship
- Stories that fill the time gap between the original series finale and the new episodes
- Outsider/newcomer POV with Mr Wilson or Breanna joining the team
- Team heist fic!

Hannibal
- Hannibal/Will and all that fucked up murder husbands stuff
- like...if someone isn't covered in blood at least once, I'm not interested
- dubcon is totally fine in this fandom
- Some of my favorite side characters are Freddie, Abigail, and Chilton

Our Flag Means Death
- So I have been #struggling to read any fic or download new podfic in the past few months, whiiiich means even though I deeply deeply enjoyed OFMD, I have no idea what the big trends are in the fic. So if there's anything that's considered a "must read", go for it! (Even if it's already been podficced. I haven't listened to it, so your version will always be my favorite version <3)
- Looking for big emotions in this fandom, as opposed to gentler or quieter stories

Severance
- Again, I haven't read any new fic in months, I have no idea if there's even any fic for this fandom. All I know is that I've just finished the show and my brain is screaming!?!
- THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS. Soft stories about Burt/Irving! What the fuck is up with Ms. Casey! Resolve that cliffhanger! Harmony is terrifying! Let's all contemplate the horror that is capitalism! Mark's sister is literally the only well-adjusted person on this show! Why do the numbers feel scary! WHAT THE FUCK IS A WAFFLE PARTY
