peasina | Dear Podficcer - General Letter [Last updated: Nov '25]

Dear Podficcer,

This letter was originally written as part of a

voiceteam challenge ‘Hello Stranger’, in which we were encouraged to update our podfic-specific letters. I'd been meaning to do this for a while, so I’m grateful for the challenge appearing at just the right time. I'll use this letter as a catch-all for podfic-specific challenges I sign up for if I don't write an exchange-specific one. If I haven't added any extra details besides fandom and ship, it's because I'll be happy with anything!

If you're thinking of podficcing something for me, thank you so much. I’m going to love it!

***PODFIC LIKES

Gen to mature rated stories.
Background music or sounds/ambience throughout. Example: something set on the Enterprise having ship engine ambience throughout.
IRL background noises – It makes me feel really cosy when I can hear the environment around the podficcer, such as their cat meowing, a train passing, or them pausing to take a sip of water.
SFX & soundscapes – From having a sound indicate section/chapter breaks to reproducing sounds mentioned in the story, I’ll love it. (I also love podfics without SFX, so don’t feel like you have to include them.)
Repods – If you find something you’d think I’d like but it’s been recorded before (even by me or as a gift for me) please don’t feel like you can’t gift it to me.
Podfics with streaming options – My setup makes downloading tricky, so I’d appreciate being able to stream my gift if possible.
Unconventional formats – Epistolary, mission reports, meta & essays, etc. (Note: I’m not keen on oral not!fic.)
Image descriptions – If there’s imagery/art in the work you record, I’d love to hear a description of it. The more detailed the better.
Whispered/ASMR style recordings.

***Do Not Wants: crossovers, readerfic, genderswaps, trans headcanons, poetry, first-person POV (epistolary is fine), second-person POV, amputation (canon amputations can be referenced, but please don’t pod me stories that linger on them), setting-change AUs, (e.g., college/university AU), soulmate AUs, mundane AUs (e.g., coffee shop)

Please note: I have hearing issues (tinnitus) and can be extremely bothered by sudden loud noises. If you include any sound effects or the podfic features shouting, for example, please could their volume match the rest of the pod. Otherwise, please warn me of their timestamps so I am prepared. Thank you!

***PODFIC OF MY WRITING

Interested in podficcing my works? I’d absolutely love that! You can find my written works at flowerdeluce and my (words by) peasina psued. If a story of mine has been podded before, even by me, please go for it! I’d love to hear your take.

***CURRENT FANDOMS

Pokémon
Favourite characters: Magnemite, Drifloon, Sandy Shocks, Stunfisk, Chansey, Blissey, Regigigas, Oddish, Gloom, Vileplume, though honestly a podfic about any Pokémon would make my day! I don't have any big ships in this fandom and no great interest in particular human characters besides Iono and Corbeau, though I'm fine with any featuring if the story is mostly focused on Pokemon. Also, I love original characters/trainers in this fandom!

SCP Foundation
I recently got into this fandom and wow, I love it! Such a great variety of stories. My favourite SCP so far is SCP-7179, though I’m very happy to learn about new anomalies through podfic. If you'd like to straight up read me an entry from the SCP database (which is allowed by the site), please do. What's your favourite? I want to hear it!
