Taking suggestions for SGA and H50 podfic to record

[librarychick_94]

So, I have a couple ideas on what stories to podfic next, but several people have commented on some of my podfic that they were glad a particular story was podficced. So, I thought I'd throw this out there: I'm taking requests/suggestions for SGA and/or H50 stories to podfic.

So, if you have any SGA or H50 stories you've always wanted to have as a podfic (and think I'd be a good reader for it), please let me know. I've also posted this to Tumblr if you want to respond there. However, communicating via Tumblr can be iffy.

Some guidelines:

• No deathfic (exceptions include death that is only temporary)


• No rape/noncon/dubcon


• Not all stories lend themselves to being read aloud


• I have to get permission from the author if they don't already have blanket permission out there


• McShep or McDanno preferred, but I'll read gen and preslash as well. Other pairings? Depends on the pairing and story.

Hey, Pandora_Gold here, I'm the one who commented on your Turn Into Something Beautiful podfic post on AO3 and was sooooo happy you Podfic-ed it.

You asked if there was anything I would l love to have podfic-ed, and I'm sure I could come up with hundreds of fics, but here are the ones I could come up with off the top of my head. I love all these fics, and I noticed they are all a little on the long side, so... sorry if they are not quite what you were asking for. They are all happy endings, or close enough to make me happy, and even if you don't Podfic any, or can't get the rights, you should read them (if you haven't) they are some of my favorite.

Also none of them seem to have very descriptive summary's so I gave you a brief idea what they are about.

Sooo, some of the fics I wish were podfic-ed in no specific order are:

The Difference Engine (http://archiveofourown.org/works/568453/chapters/1017585) by copperbadge (http://archiveofourown.org/users/copperbadge/pseuds/copperbadge)
22,031 words -Robot!John sort of, but not really

Keepsakes (http://archiveofourown.org/works/623234) by Taste_is_Sweet (http://archiveofourown.org/users/Taste_is_Sweet/pseuds/Taste_is_Sweet)
11,657 words -What if John couldn't be cured after the Iratus bug bite?

Apocalypse Rising (http://archiveofourown.org/works/74056) by sian1359 (http://archiveofourown.org/users/sian1359/pseuds/sian1359)
81,681 words -AU no Atlantis, but some how the Wraith find their way to earth. John is still a pilot in the air force, on leave when the attack starts.

Dragonlord (http://archiveofourown.org/works/119773/chapters/167792) by Icarus (http://archiveofourown.org/users/Icarus/pseuds/Icarus)
87,066 words -John becomes a Dragon Rider, Rodney already is. (This is a cross over with the Pern Dragon Rider books, but I love it cause you don't have to have read the books to get it. ...huh, I just realized this one might be seen as dub-con. when their dragons have sex, so do they... Don't know what your version of dub-con is...)

And anything and everything by Keiramarcos (http://keiramarcos.com/) but my favorite is Ties That Bind (http://keiramarcos.com/fan-fiction-index/stargate-atlantis-fan-fiction/ties-that-bind-sga-au/)
Epicly long words -An AU in a world where instead of being split between male and female, there are Dom's and Sub's. Very BDSM but everything is very consensual, but there are some past non-con flash backs, so this might not fit your criteria. the non-con is not between John and Rodney. My other favorite of hers is The Sentinels of Atlantis (http://keiramarcos.com/fan-fiction-index/stargate-atlantis-fan-fiction/the-sentinels-of-atlantis-atlantissentinel/). again epicly long words -Crossover with the old TV show Sentinels, but again all you need to know is there are people out there who have super senses called Sentinels, and each Sentinel needs a person to ground them called a Guide.

Unnatural Selection (http://archiveofourown.org/works/113891/chapters/158923) by auburn (http://archiveofourown.org/users/auburn/pseuds/auburn)
164,390 words -WraithHybrid!John, Todd is a cool character, complete AU of what might have happened if human's didn't get complete control of Atlantis. (This one is a little on the dark side, but I fell in love with it, and it is the one that has a happy ending to me, but might not be happy for everyone... All the important people live, and they are happy! Thats all I need. Oh, and this one also has some Todd/John that is a bit dob-con so this might not fit your criteria ether.)

So the last three might not be what you like, but the first three are consensual, and happy endings. looking back at this list I realized I really like creature/Other!John fics. hmmm... I guess I have a thing ;-)

I've read all but Unnatural Selection. That one is no go for me. Wraith/human squicks me. Ties that Bind is definitely epic, but is a WIP. I checked Keira's page and she says this about podfic: "7. Contact me directly about podfics as there are several authorized projects in progress and there would be no need for someone to duplicate." Also, I saw this (in answer to a question about podfic): "It would depend on which fics you wanted to do podfics for. There is already a podfic project in the works for Tangled Destinies and Ties That Bind." The comment was from June 2010, so if someone is working on it, it is taking them a really long time! Although I did see she is working on The Ties that Bind: The North Star! The only podfic I found on her site is for her story Touching Secrets. Link to podfic at the bottom. http://keiramarcos.com/2009/12/20/touching-secrets/

I'm just not willing to take on Sentinels of Atlantis. I added up the word count and all the stories total 257,103 words! I might be willing to consider the first story in the series, but I don't know if she'd give permission if she knew that. Also, it doesn't read aloud very well, I tried it out. You sure you might not want one of her Stand Alone stories? Like Emotional Clockwork or Human Nature? :)

The Difference Engine is a great story, but makes me sad. So, no podfic, sorry. Apocalypse Rising is also great, but doesn't really grab me for podficcing. Dragonlord by Icarus was also good, but didn't grab me. I tend to have to really, really like a story to immerse myself in it. I've read all the Pern books. Anne McCaffrey sort of worked around the dubcon as far as I remember. Icarus doesn't have blanket permission. Interestingly enough, another of her stories (Out of Bounds) was suggested by someone else. And it is also over 200,000 words! I just can't face doing it either. I'd rather do more, slightly shorter ones. :)

So, that brings us to Keepsakes by Taste_is_Sweet. I very much like that story! She let me do her story Hunted, so I bet I can get her permission. I've asked her via the comments at the story on AO3.

Thanks very much for the suggestions and I'm glad at least one met my picky brain's criteria!

*Sigh* yeah I figured that was the case for the long stories, but hope springs eternal... and I thought I would ask. :-) hmmm, I didn't see that about someone else working on Ties That Bind, I wonder if they just gave up. I know I probably would ;-) But I can hope its just taking them forever...

Also I love all of Keiramarcos' stories, I was just naming my favorites. If you feel inspired to read Emotional Clockwork, or Human Nature I would love it! (And I'm sure many other people would as well)

Yeah, I totally get needing it to grab you! I draw, and I have lost count of the number of projects I start because I kinda like it, and never finish it after I hit a snag because it just can't hold me.

Interesting that someone else suggested another of Icarus' fics... I wonder if I have read it, I should go check it out...

Oo, yay, you like Keepsakes!!! If you read that it will be AWESOME!!! *dances around*

It's always interesting to me to find out what other people find sad and not. oddly enough Keepsakes and Difference Engien are equally as sad to me... hmmm...

So that is one hit out of seven, which isn't too bad! :-D

The Hardest thing about making suggestions for other people is trying to gauge their tastes, and if I inspired you with one of my favorites I am happy! yay! Can't wait!

This is awesome that you are taking suggestions! Thanks for listening XD (...or would it be 'thanks for reading')

Update

Obviously, I've done Keepsakes. :) I did message Keira Marcos about a week and a half ago. I haven't heard back from her yet. Just wanted to give you a quick update. Thanks.
