Take a Rec / Leave a Rec Meme

[cantarina]

Happy Saturday!

I don't know where you are but the weather here is beautiful and I'm sitting inside cleaning out dusty, dusty fans which have had a workout so far this record-breaking summer.

Let's bring some joy into each other's lives today. Ask for recs in the comments and help fill them where you can. If you don't have a DW account OpenID and anon comments are a-ok.

Some example requests:

Please rec me a podficcer who's voice you'd follow into new fandoms.

*bangs fist on table* A glass of your finest femslash!

I'm in the mood for some old school angsty McShep.

Rec me the one podfic I should listen to get roped into you fandom.

I would love to listen to a podfic featuring body horror or monster fucking. Maybe both? ;) Please share your strange podfics.

[yue_ix]

If by monster fucking you also include Xenophila, I've got to rec you Jinxy's amazing smut podfics. :D

Proven Wrong (Teen Wolf, alpha-shape-wolf!Derek/Stiles) which is an entirely consentual PWP.

Plushwolf (Teen Wolf, shifter-something-Derek/Stiles) which is entirely NON-CON, underage, read-the-content-notes PWP.

Tag: Feels by thingswithwings (11min16) fandom meta about the tag "Feels", with feelings.

We Just Lost the Beat by knight_tracer, lady_ragnell (Daredevil, Matt/Foggy, 1h45) radio host AU, with effects, and yess.

Time Can Do So Much by Shmaylor (Daredevil, Matt/Foggy, 22 min) 5 times they didn't get married and one they did, read with such fondness you'll melt no matter if you don't know the fandom.

epistolary by exmanhater (Sense8, Amanita/Nomi, 16min) dialogue heavy and warm and queer relationship, yay!

To Taste, read by fire_juggler. American Idol RPF, Kris/Adam. A lovely AU where Kris is a chef, and Adam is a Hollywood PA whose boss orders food from Kris.

Every Story is a Love Story, read by treadcarefully. Merlin, Arthur/Merlin. AU WHERE ARTHUR RUNS A HARLEQUIN ROMANCE PUBLISHING COMPANY AND MERLIN IS HIS PET AUTHOR HE WON’T LET ANYONE ELSE EDIT, BUT NEITHER REALIZE THEY’RE BASICALLY LIVING OUT ONE OF THEIR NOVELS. It’s EXACTLY as perfectly schmoopy as it sounds from that set up.

The Giraffe Notes, read by Lunchee. The Social Network RPF, Jesse/Andrew. Andrew is a famous actor, Jesse is an anxious & shy book editor who went to high school with Andrew and wrote him anonymous love notes. When Andrew thanks his anonymous high school letter writer in his Oscar speech, Jesse’s friends convince him to get back in contact.

Not entirely sure if it's quite what you're looking for, but I'm very fond of this Stargate Atlantis fic! It's a Lorne/Zelenka fic, and it's actually the one that inspired me to try my hand at podfic myself.

[yue_ix]

Please tell me what podfic(s) you listen to when you want to fall asleep smiling. :D

[bessyboo]

I more or less have I’m Gonna Keep You in Love with Me (for a While) read by recolutionaryjo on repeat these days. Buzzfeed Unsolved accidental marriage fic, my favorite fic in the fandom read by one of my favorite podficcers, I love everything about ittttttt <3

Give me your best long, tropey, romcom-y recs! Preferably modern-type AUs, not super canon-based.
