VoiceTeam Submissions by Kiwiana: Round Two

I recorded less podfic for @voiceteam round two than one would generally expect, but that's because I threw myself into the mod dare with gusto. The mod dares each round aren't worth points (though submissions you make to meet the mod dare get all their USUAL points), but they are a fun challenge and a real blast to pull together with your team. This round's dare was: I dare [each team] to complete all ten Round 2 challenges using a fandom that has 20 or fewer fics total on AO3.

And I looked from the dare, to my ARC of The Pairing by Casey McQuiston, to the dare, to my ARC... and, well, I'm no mathematician, but zero is in fact less than 20.

What this did mean is I mostly took point on writing this round, as I threw together a couple of little ficlets for my teammates to then record. Though I did manage to actually pod something as well!

THE PAIRING

[Podfic] No Ordinary Friend, written by @cha-melodius, read by @kiwiana-writes with cover art by @thesleepyskipper: 23 min 06 sec

It started when they were two idiot fifteen-year-old boys talking about sex like it was something other than a foreign concept for either of them, vowing that if they had a threesome they’d do it together and not really acknowledging what that might mean. It started when they were thirteen, when Calum pulled him out of the surf and, in his delirium from the blood loss, his best mate had looked like an angel with the sun behind his golden hair. It started when they were ten and got in a scrap over the right to be called Calum in their class instead of some other nickname, then promptly decided that actually they’d both be Calum and let everyone else sort it out. (Or, the Calums' story, from Monaco to Palermo)

Steep my senses in forgetfulness, written by @kiwiana-writes, read by @amanita-fierce with cover art by @b13-maybethistime: 400 words, 3 min 14 sec

Theo can hear the way the ocean rolls up to the shore, lapping up over the beach before falling back, summoned into the chill of the Atlantic.

CROSSOVER: RWRB/THE PAIRING

A Prince in the Pâtisserie, written by @kiwiana-writes, read by @amanita-fierce with cover art by @b13-maybethistime: 568 words, 3 min 48 sec

“Um,” is all Theo manages, and it’s only then that Kit actually looks up to register who is standing in front of them. And, yeah. He totally gets why Theo was shocked into silence, now. “Parlez-vous anglais?” Alex Claremont-Diaz asks, his smile somehow even more blinding in person than it is on TV—and, yeah, maybe Kit only really started paying attention to US politics when Ellen Claremont was elected. Sue him. “I really hope so, cause I’m pretty sure Henry’s getting sick of translating for me.”

The third and final round starts this weekend; maybe I'll actually go back to doing more podficcing for this one 😉

Permission statements are your best friend as an author, if you want people to podfic or otherwise transform your fics! If you've never created a permissions statement and you love a good template, there's a good one from @fanworkspermissionstatement here that can help: https://www.tumblr.com/fanworkspermissionstatement/721421909534851073/reblogging-for-an-update-now-with-new-faq-and

WIP WEDNESDAY

alright alright alright - so i'm getting this done now and using the tags i already got tonight thanks ever so much @theprinceandagcd & @priincebutt (and also for the sunday tag nico) 💚

i'm still on my southern philanthropy or liam/pez one night stand fic so that's what we're getting

Liam motions with his head toward the bar, and Percy nods; he feels Percy’s hand in his, and before he knows it, they’re in a roped-off area with its own bar. Percy leads him to a table with bottles of water and a bottle of some top-shelf whiskey with glasses on the table. Liam takes the water he’s handed and opens it, taking a swig as he watches Percy pour a couple of fingers into a glass for each of them over a couple of ice cubes. It’s interesting because he only knows two other people who drink it this exact way. Actually, he thinks it’s this exact brand; Henry’s made Alex’s taste in whiskey even more expensive than it used to be. It’s definitely not the Maker’s Mark they used to sneak in high school. The whiskey tastes smooth on his tongue, and Liam thinks about how other things might taste as well as he watches Percy’s mouth around the rim of his glass. As Percy’s tongue catches the drop of whiskey left on it when he pulls away his glass, he wonders what it might be like to follow that tongue with his own and chase the taste of the expensive whiskey into his mouth. He’s thinking about his tongue in Percy’s mouth as Percy says something he misses in his contemplation. The smirk Percy sends him alerts him to the fact that he missed something, and he pulls himself back to the moment and says, “I’m sorry, what was that?” “I was just wondering what you thought of the whiskey; from what I understand, whiskey is one of those things you southern boys drink; well, based on the accent, I’m assuming southern.” “Yeah, Texas.” “Huh, Texas boys and their whiskey, I guess,” Percy mutters under his breath and shrugs. Liam briefly wonders what he means by that but lets it slide for now. Maybe he’ll remember to ask later.

-- he won't remember to ask later lolz but he will figure out what he means

open tag for anyone who wants to play and other no-pressure tags beneath the cut cuz well, they still are messed up as far as i know lolz

wip wednesday!

thanks @priincebutt for the early tag! I just posted recently and that'll probably be all y'all get from me until after I've DEFENDED MY DOCTORAL DISSERTATION!?!?

but in the meantime here's a @aroyallybigbangrwrb snippet that is the lead up to maybe my favorite smut scene I've ever written :)

“So nothing you can’t miss?”  “If he didn’t take attendance, I’d skip.”  “Interesting.” At Henry’s tone, Alex risks another look over at him, and that dark smirk has definitely returned. Something sinister is flirting around the edges of Henry’s expression, tantalizing and sexy and quickly pushing Alex back toward hot and flustered.  After a pause, Henry speaks again. “And I’m assuming that, as is typical, it’s only that little window of you that your classmates can see? And that you are visible but muted?”  Confused as to why Henry is suddenly so interested in the mechanisms of Zoom, Alex blinks at him. “Uh, yeah. They can’t see me otherwise, and they can’t hear me unless I choose to unmute.”  Without another word, Henry stands and takes a few steps toward Alex, looking like a goddamn Calvin Klein model in the middle of Alex’s apartment. He pauses a few feet away, and just when Alex is about to ask him what he’s doing, Henry smirks and drops to his hands and knees and crawls toward him.  He pushes gently on Alex’s leg when he gets to him, and Alex scoots his chair back, trying to figure out what in God’s name Henry is doing when— Oh.

Hi friends! I'm going to do the responsible thing and post my WIP as a scheduled post for midnight on Wednesday, and tonight I'm bringing you the last lil snip you'll get of my @aroyallybigbangrwrb fic because SHE'S DONE!! I am saying she still counts as a WIP though because she won't be posted till June and knowing me, I will keep editing this bad boy until I can't anymore. But I'm so elated to have this project finished up and sent off to the next process, so she is finally in my artist's hands! I can't wait for y'all to read this piece because I'm very happy with how she turned out <3 So without further ado!!

He kisses Alex like he could devour him whole, like he will never taste anything quite this exquisite. Up until this point, he’d held himself back, not allowed himself to fall fully into Alex. But he’s got nothing left to hide, no truths to hold like his winning ace close to his chest, and he dives right in. Alex groans into Henry’s mouth, and Henry grinds onto Alex’s lap. The spark ignites between them, hot and bold, something bright and shining like it’s always lived right beneath the surface and had been waiting to break free. Henry’s shirt is flung across the room, followed quickly by Alex’s, and their hands roam freely, learning each curve and dip, memorizing the feel of satin skin beneath hot fingertips. It’s not long before they move from the couch to Alex’s bed, and both of them revel in the pleasure the other’s body brings. Henry memorizes how Alex’s eyelashes fan across his cheekbones, how his parted lips are the same shade of red as a blooming rose, how his cheeks flush with elation and pleasure, and how his chest heaves as he breathes through it all.

#challengers #this movie had me feeling oh so many things #i didn't even know what to do with them all lolz

[onthewaytosomewhere]

it’s just awesome because art is more in love with tashi than he is with patrick but tashi is more in love with patrick than she is with art but patrick is more in love with art than he is with tashi. and crucially tashi loves tennis a million times more than she loves either of those men.

#challengers #challengers spoilers #yes when i saw this last night this is what i came away with #well that and that art and patrick are gonna end up raising the adorable munchkin #this last part was legit what i told peeps in the hotel bar last night when they asked about the movie i saw lolz

[onthewaytosomewhere]

“aren’t you tired of being nice” no!!!! i’m tired of everyone else being mean!!!!!!!!

[onthewaytosomewhere]

why are people so against negative character development? characters don’t need to improve and become better people they can get worse and make mistakes and end up in a worse state than when they began and it’s just as interesting and entertaining as characters developing positively

#yep #sometimes ya gots to go backwards to move forward
