Nine Worlds: with a winged heart

Sun, 28 Jan 2024 01:04:17 GMT

Title: with a winged heart
Author: celebros
Reader: kalakirya
Fandom: Nine Worlds / Lays of the Hearthfire
Pairings: Artorin Damara (aka Fitzroy Angursell)/Cliopher "Kip" Mdang
Rating: Explicit
Summary:

"Cliopher. Cliopher. Cliopher."

I blink. It's Conju, standing with his hands on my shoulders, and I go to answer him and realize that I am already speaking, babbling, and Franzel is behind him, wringing his hands and looking near tears. I try to focus on what I'm saying, but it's like a stream, light and splashing past me, too quick to hold, not enough to catch, somehow, somehow –

A few weeks before the start of the viceroyship ceremonies, Kip finds himself the unwitting recipient of a truth serum.

2022 stats

Sun, 02 Jul 2023 19:12:42 GMT

Two for one! 2022 Stats here we come!

Nearly 11 hours of podfic posted in 2022, nearly three-quarters of which was No Chaos In the World, a Dorian/Iron Bull story that I love to pieces and which I was also working on in 2021, which is part of why it's misleading to do this by posted podfic, but it's what I have, so here we are.

yeah that tracks XD

Next up, what's the AO3 category of the main relationship?

Well, I was trying to podfic less m/m, and 2022 wasn't a good year for that, at least for duration. Now that I know that, I'm going to try to do better in 2023.

In 202..1? I think? I realized that this question was a little weird because it was squishing together the objectives of "making more podfic that's not just about dudeslash" and "making more podfic that's not about cis-men" so I also have a graph for the latter question.

Well, not great in terms of duration of podfic, actually not as bad as it could be in count. Still need to be better.

Which brings us to the series of stats that started it all, which I still don't think I'm doing right, but I'm trying, and I'd rather try and get it wrong than not try and never know. So: podfic produced by racial/ethnic background of the main character, where "main character" is "who I remember the story being about several months after I made it" and "racial/ethnic background" is a series of checks, first against the character's self-definition in the story, lacking that against their self-definition in canon, lacking that against their actor/voice actor's self-definition, lacking that. It's messy and deeply imperfect, but it's what I've got. Also, these categories are highly awkward and imprecise, and by their nature reductive. I'm American, and trying hard, but am probably fucking up.

Dorian Pavus and The Iron Bull to the rescue! I smashed this one the fuck out of the park, duration-wise! So that's v cool and I'm very proud of that. Also made basically the same overall amount of podfic (duration wise) for Black characters as for White characters (1:08:46 and 1:04:38 respectively) and I'm very pleased with that. Still more podfics by count for White characters, but overall I'm focusing on combined duration/length of podfic, so that gets a pass, given how by duration I've done really well on this metric. Go me!

So. Final 2022 podfic thoughts? It's really hard to podfic non-dudes, partly just because there's less fanfic for them (and fewer canons/characters for fandom to accrete around). Which isn't an excuse, but is a bit of reason. So. working on that. But, progress, personally!

2021 stats post (2 years late)

Sun, 02 Jul 2023 15:44:02 GMT

Welp my last stats post was a year late, and this one is more than that, but I'm hoping to catch up and post about 2022's stats soon, so wish me luck on that XD

Well, 2021 was obviously A Shit Time, but I did post 7 hours and 45 minutes of podfic, so go me XD

Basically my year was dominated by two 2+ hour MDZS podfics, with carve-outs for an MCU podfic and a DA:I podfic. Special shout-out to Not A Kind Man, a Spartacus podfic that I asked permission to do in 2019 XD

Yup, not a surprise, given the fandom breakdown, but damnit I keep failing at podficcing less m/m /o\ I managed it in 2020, but very much not in 2021, or (spoilers) 2022. Working on it for 2023, but so far this year I have posted ZERO podfic, so it's not looking great /o\

In 2019's stats post I realized that I was trying to use this stat to measure both time spent on non-m/m and on non-cis!men, which are related but different stats, so here's the graph for gender of the main character, where "main character" is mostly, but not exclusively, the pov character. It's not a perfect science, and I'm not sure everyone would agree with who I've designated as "main character", but it's a thing I'm experimenting with. It doesn't improve my stats though /o\

Which brings us to the series of stats that started it all, which I still don't think I'm doing right, but I'm trying, and I'd rather try and get it wrong than not try and never know. So: podfic produced by racial/ethnic background of the main character, where "main character" is "who I remember the story being about several months after I made it" and "racial/ethnic background" is a series of checks, first against the character's self-definition in the story, lacking that against their self-definition in canon, lacking that against their actor/voice actor's self-definition, lacking that. It's messy and deeply imperfect, but it's what I've got. Also, these categories are highly awkward and imprecise, and by their nature reductive. I'm American, and trying hard, but am probably fucking up. Special shout-out to In Heavier Air, a Dragon Age: Inquisition story about an Avvar inquisitor - the Avvar being a fantasy!indigenous tribe (?) who are canonically pale-skinned and light-haired. Which. Ok. It is very possible to be both of those things and *also* indigenous/native and/or white-passing. That said, the handling of the Avvar in canon is - kinda weird. I tried to find thoughts on them from a Native/Indigenous perspective, and was unsuccessful, and part of the reason that this analysis is being posted in 2023 is because I kept trying to find more on that. I've eventually come down on the side of "it's better to have this be messy and wrong and in the world", especially since this post has very little reach, and is basically me navel-gazing and holding myself accountable. So. My handling of it is Not Good. But I'm trying to do better.

Also, hey, I super definitely podficced more non-white characters than I did white characters! Pretty much entirely due to MDZS, with some help from Guardian. I'm aware that colorism is also a thing, so this is not the be-all and end-all, and I need to work on podficcing more Black characters, but I'm still going to celebrate the small wins.

So, mostly Not Good. Working on that.

Dear podficcer letter: summer swap 2023

Sat, 17 Jun 2023 15:13:26 GMT

Yay Summer Swap!

Fandoms I like, with notes, in no particular order:

Young Wizards - tiny fandom of my heeaaaaart. I love them so much. So much. So so so much. All of them. Everyone. In every time and place.
Vorkosigan - I have many many feelings about everyone: Miles, Cordelia, Aral, Ekaterin, Gregor, Simon, Elena, Kareen, Alys, Ivan, Taura, Tej, Laisa, Ethan, Bothari, Elli, Dono, Jole… Everyone. They are my darlings. All of them should have everything they deserve, with everything that entails.
Dragon Age: Inquisition - I love everyone except Blackwall, whom I'm afraid I don't have much patience for. Krem and Harding are also excellent, should you want to go in this direction.
Guardian - I know that this might be a bit more of a stretch, but if you're interested, there's some lovely fic for this tiny, beautiful, sometimes quite silly show. I mostly ship Zhao Yunlan/Shen Wei, but so does the show :D
Scum Villain's Self Saving System - I love this entirely nutty canon to itty bitty bits. Here for Luo Binghe/Shen Qinqiu and Mobei-Jun/Shan Qinghua
Murderbot - ALL THE FOUND FAMILY ALL THE TIME
Nine Worlds Series - look I know this is a long shot and most of the canon is literal doorstoppers and have some issues but I love them and I don't care. Surprisingly, less here for the h/c and more for the fluff (I know, I'm surprised too!)

Additional non-fandom-specific things I love:

Unusual formats (twitfic! Not!fic! Epistolary! Recipes! Journaling!)
Slice-of-life
AUs (Murderbot but if everyone has daemons! Scum Villain but it's Dungeons and Dragons! Vorkosigan but the Imperium is a condominium HOA!) (I don't think any of these exist but if you want to oral-not!fic something BE MY GUEST I WOULD LOVE IT)
Character study
Playing with the medium (sound effects! Music! Free talk!)

Look, it's been a long-ass ~~month~~ ~~year multiple years~~ decade I'd rather not receive angst. I'm not saying that I'm only interested in marshmallow fluff, and a few short moments of angst are ok, but I'd like for the overall tone to be on the happy side. More specific squicks/triggers include:

no-escape situations (either real or metaphorical – eg backed into a corner, despair, suicidal ideation, variations on "you have nowhere (else) to go", "no one will believe you")
dub- or non-con
misunderstandings/miscommunication as a plot device
chase scenes
major character death

Power imbalance

Scat/watersports/necrophilia

honestly please just stay away from anything that gets iffy in a mental-health way. If you're not sure, please please please ask - comment here anonymously or as the mods to pass it along.

Have fun!

(Look I know this is basically the same as my last few letters but in my defense I don't switch fandoms so much as accumulate them, like a snowball)

Fandoms I like, with notes, in no particular order:

Murderbot - *grabby hands*. especially here for funky formatting, but really here for anything.
Vorkosigan - I have many many feelings about everyone: Miles, Cordelia, Aral, Ekaterin, Gregor, Simon, Elena, Kareen, Alys, Ivan, Taura, Tej, Laisa, Ethan, Bothari, Elli, Dono, Jole… Everyone. They are my darlings. All of them should have everything they deserve, with everything that entails.

MDZS/CQL - it's a fandom juggernaut right now, but I do love it so! Mostly here for LWJ, WWX, JYL, WQ, WN, and LSZ. [Will spell this out later)
Scum Villain - much more of a long shot, but i can dream! Especially here for SQH/MBJ
The Old Guard - Especially here for Nile-focused and Joe-and-Nicky focused. Not here for Booker except as background, though.

Things I'm particularly into:

slice-of-life
funky formatting
AUs
epistolary
fluff

I'm going to depart a bit from what I've said in past years, because I've had a very, very long year, and say explicitly that I'd rather not receive angst. I'm not saying that I'm only interested in marshmallow fluff, and a few short moments of angst are ok, but I'd like for the overall tone to be on the happy side. More specific squicks/triggers include:

Summary: If you asked anybody in the castle right now, they’d say that Duke Nicolò did have a concubine, and his name was Yusuf al-Kaysani. Neither Yusuf nor the Duke had ever said so in so many words, of course, but it was understood. It was also untrue. The real story was much stranger.
