the24thkey | The24thkey's 2022 Dear Podficcer Letter

Signing up to give & receive: kpop (BTOB, Stray Kids, Ateez, Mamamoo, SHINEE, TWICE, ITZY, BTS), 9-1-1, Beyond Evil, The King: Eternal Monarch, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Haikyuu!!, All for the game, Ace Attorney (games/anime/movie), The Locked Tomb Series, Stranger Things, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, The Queen's Thief

General stuff:

I usually prefer happy, funny stories, but as long as there's a happy ending I don't mind the occasional angst. I love AUs and crossovers and tropes of all kinds, like time loops! Outsider-POV! Weird inexplicable animal transformation/age regression! To name just a few. I'm also really into case fic, so depending on the fandom that's always an option as well.

As for squicks/triggers, please avoid non-con and major character death. Also I have a pretty big embarrassment squick, and a lot of kinks are very hit or miss for me. I'm not really into omegaverse fics right now. Lastly, I don't really like it if there's break-ups with third parties in a story - I wouldn't call it a squick, but I'd prefer to avoid it.

I really, really stick to my OTPs (to the point that I usually can't read stuff where they're paired with other people even if it's just in the background), so I hope there's one among them that you like. Otherwise gen is also fine, of course. I like ensemble fics and family/team feelings! If you're looking for inspiration, I have a pinboard where I save everything I read and liked. The <3, * and Awesomeness tags are reserved for my favourite fics. I also have blanket permission and would be happy to receive podfic of my own works.

On to the fandoms! (in no particular order) I've tried to provide some preferences in each case, but please don't feel like you have to stick to exactly what I mention.

General kpop things: I'm not big on fics that are set in America for no reason. There are exceptions in my bookmarks, but I prefer fics set in Korea or fics that don't mention a specific setting.

BTOB:

While I am currently obsessed with Changsub/Sungjae there is really just. Nothing in that tag. The Minhyuk/Eunkwang tag is slightly better, and I'd love anything about them.

Mamamoo:

Yongsun/Byulyi!!!!! Hwasa/Wheein is cute too, but I'm mostly all about unnie line.

Stray Kids:

Minho/Jisung is still my OTP, but I'm more flexible about pairings involving everyone else. I really like Changbin/Felix, Hyunjin/Seungmin, Seungmin/Changbin and Seungmin/Hyunjin/Changbin. Not super into Chan/Felix tbh but I can handle them as a background pairing. Please no fics that mention Woojin. When in doubt, knight_tracer can probably help you out.

ATEEZ:

Hongjoong/Seonghwa please! I also like Yunho/Mingi and really any combination of background pairings, but I'm really mostly about the seongjoong.

SHINEE:

I still don't know that much about them but I love love love Kibum/Minho.

TWICE:

I really really love Dahyun/Sana, but I could go for pretty much any pairing.

ITZY:

I haven't read much fic in this fandom but I like Ryujin/Yeji a lot.

BTS:

I've stepped back from this fandom a bit, but I still love Namjoon/Jin (bonus points for (one-sided) rivals/enemies-to-lovers), and I really wish there were more podfic for Yoongi/Hoseok.

Gideon the Ninth/The Locked Tomb trilogy:

I just devoured Nona the Ninth and am rereading Gideon, so I'm in my feelings. Anything Gideon/Harrow would be super welcome! Canon or AU, it's all good. I also love Nona and her family and the fourth, fifth, and sixth houses.

9-1-1:

Buck/Eddie, but the more ensemble, found family and team feelings the better. I'd also love Hen & Chim friendship if you can find anything that focuses on them.

Beyond Evil:

Dongsik/Juwon, but all the relationships in this drama are fascinating to me.

The King: Eternal Monarch:

Yeong/Gon please!

Fire Emblem: Three Houses:

The Golden Deer is my favourite house, so I'd welcome gen-ish fic about their shenanigans, though I do have a variety of ships I like. Sylvain/Felix, of course, Marianne/Hilda, Ingrid/Dorothea (!!!!), Hubert/Ferdinand, Catherine/Shamir, Caspar/Lindhardt, Claude/Byleth, and recently I have even been known to very much enjoy Claude/Lorenz and Claude/Lorenz/Hilda.

Haikyuu!!:

Most recently I've been reading a lot of Bokuto/Akaashi fic, so something with them would be great. But all my other pairings still stand: Oikawa/Iwaizumi, Yachi/Kiyoko, Ukai/Takeda, Tsukishima/Yamaguchi, Hanamaki/Matsukawa, Hinata/Kageyama. I haven't read much post-manga (or even just post-timeskip) fic yet, but that's definitely something I'd be interested in.

All for the game:

As always, I'd love some Neil/Andrew future fic! Canon levels of violence and issues are okay.

Ace Attorney:

Another one of those fandoms where it's difficult to find stuff, but I love Athena/Simon, Phoenix/Miles, Klavier/Apollo and Mia/Diego. I'd love something set after/dealing with the events AA6 if you can find any. I've also played the Great Ace Attorney games, so anything with that set of characters would also be very welcome.

Stranger Things:

I recently watched part of the show and I enjoy Steve/Eddie fic, but also I'd love anything about Steve & Robin friendship, the fruity four (Steve, Eddie, Nancy, Robin) or the season 3 scoops troop (Steve, Dustin, Robin, Erica). Nancy/Robin would also be lovely!

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint:

Dokja/Jonghyuk is incredible but also I would ADORE some Sooyoung/Sangah. I haven't dived too deep into the fic in this fandom, but I feel like AUs would be especially interesting. Kim company team feelings always welcome!

The Queen's Thief:

Predictably Kamet/Costis turned out to be my favourites when I finally read this series, would love anything about them.
