Hello, visitor!

About Me 
Hi, I'm Peasina :-) I’m in my mid-thirties, single af, and queer! (she/they) šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ I started making podfic in April 2020.

My username is a mashup of the words "peas in a", as in, peas in a pod-fic, but I pronounce it pea-zeen-uh. You can call me Pea too if you'd like! I also go by flowerdeluce, which is the name of my fanfic AO3. 

Friending Policy
I'm more than happy for anyone to subscribe/friend me on here and would love it if you messaged me to talk about our shared fandoms! If it makes you feel more comfortable, feel free to introduce yourself on this post or my Intro Post, but I won't mind if you don't.

My Equipment, Plugins, and Tools
For those interested, this is what I'm using to source, record, edit, and post my podfic:
  • Fandom Permission Statement highligher tool - helps me easily filter works by authors with podfic permissions listed on their AO3 profile by highlighting their username green and/or filtering out works without permission. This is a lifesaver and a great reason why you should add a permission statement to your profile and add yourself to fpslist.org if you haven't already!
  • Mic: Blue Snowball from Dec' 2021. (Previously I used a Yanmai SF-777.)
  • Software: Audacity (to record and edit), Premier Pro (for additional edits when needed), Photoshop (to make covers).
  • Editing plugins (for Audacity): 'Punch, Copy, Paste' (lets you paste silence over a selection without changing the selection size), 'deClicker' (helps remove mouth clicks), and most of the steps in [personal profile] jocundasykes's extremely helpful tutorial here!
  • Sound effects: I don't use them that often, but when I do I get them from BBCfx or Freesound.
  • AO3 Podfic Posting Helper browser extension - autofills the original work's fields and adds podfic-related tags. Here's the Firefox version.
  • Hosting: archive.org - It's free, there are no space or content limitations, it allows for streaming and downloading, and it's super reliable. My library is here.


Podfics for charity
I feel incredibly lucky to be in a position where my hobby + kind fans (+ the mods' generous time creating and maintaining fan auctions!) = money in a charity's pocket. ā¤ I regularly take part in charity fan auctions such as [community profile] fandomtrumpshate, and one-off auctions as they appear like [community profile] equalityauction, and [personal profile] sunflower_auction. In 2021, I also offered a limited number of podfics for charitable donations outside the auction format here on my journal and would like to do that again, free time permitting. I don't have a set month in mind, so feel free to subscribe if that's something you're interested in. I usually crosspost my my works made for charity here and tag them with Charity Pods.

Thanks so much for reading :-)
