I was at Costco yesterday and I walked by a man chanting under his breath to himself very intensely, "I'm not a homewrecker. I'm not a homewrecker. I'M NOT A HOMEWRECKER."

It felt like too unique of an experience for me not to steddify it immediately.

Anyways, Eddie sees Steve and Robin at the grocery store and assumes they're together because they're sharing a cart and bickering over their household groceries like a married couple, but he still finds Steve so attractive.

Steve catches him staring and throws him a flirty wink and a cute little finger wiggle back.

Which causes Eddie to sprint away, verbally reminding himself that he cannot hit on taken men, much to Steve and Robin’s great amusement.

Day 17 of Fandom Holiday Gifting Event

Today's task was to listen to a podfic. I've listened to one podfic during my time on AO3 which is weird bc I love audio format of content. So for today's task, I listened to this podfic by cottagepodfics (@cottagepodfics on here) which is a podfic of I Want Candy by vanillahigh00. This was SO NICE to listen to, I absolutely love the reader's voice its so soothing and nice to hear, I could fall asleep to this if it weren't for the amazing sfx. This is a seriously well-made podfic and I'll definitely be listening to more of their podfics. Oh, And the fic was very sweet too! I LOVE HANNAH shes so cute jvhjdgkhghjgfgfhjgdfs im going to go cry over this now bybeye dfhghgds

Happy Sunday! I’m here with some recs today. Specifically, I’m sharing six Podfic recs, as a sneaky way to promo Caught on Tape: A Carry On Podfest. We are super excited to be running this fest for the first time, and in order to get you all jazzed for it, I’d like to highlight some amazing podfics that already exist in our fandom 🎉

Welcome to My Life, 55 min, Rated T, fic by @sillyunicorn and podficced by @captain-aralias

I was already obsessed with this fic when it was just a kernel of an idea based on this art by @letraspal where Baz has wings and Simon dresses in florals. The author took this Watford era role reversal to heart and really created a compelling story with a very angsty and Baz. Aralias did a fantastic job with Baz’s characterization and I found myself sucked into this story anew hearing it read aloud. (Aralias also has a number of great podfics. All are worth a listen)

15-Across, 43 min, Rated T, fic by @ninemagicks and podficced by @cottagepodfics

This Normal AU meet cute has Simonn wondering about the cute man he always sits next to on his morning train commute who does crosswords every morning. The utterly sweet vibe comes shining through in the reader’s performance, and has lost of fun touches with sound effects and voice modifications (to distinguish inner thoughts, text messages, etc) that just really make the experience such a fun listen.

I Meant it, You’ll See, 48 min, Rated T, fic by @otherworldsivelivedin and podficced by @petrodobreva

A kiss between friends in this Normal AU has Simon having sudden realizations that cause him to chase Baz down at a train station the next day. Great pining and excellent miscommunication that comes through in spades in the readers performance. Amazing music and sound effects add the perfect touch to really immerse you in this story.

Wasabi, 31 min, Rated E, written and read by xivz

The one where Simon is a cam boy and Baz has zero chill. Also, they were roommates. Man, this story is so hot and the way xivz reads this makes it infinitely hotter. They put on their sexy voice and gives us every delicious moan, groan and sigh. You’ll be fanning yourself and wiping your brow by the end!

A Case of Identity, 20-30 min, Rated T, fic by @ninemagicks and @sourcherrymagiks and podficced by @youarenevertooold

Simon finds an anonymous love letter written to him and hidden in a library book. So he responds, leading to a very funny and cute back and forth while he tries to figure out who it is. This reader has such lovely voices and characterizations for both Simon and Baz and just hits every joke perfectly. Seriously, you’ll be cackling and awwing the whole way through.

Everything’s Coming Up Roses, 65 min, Rated T, fic by @annabellelux and podficced by RattleandHum

An excellent Watford era Hanahaki fic, full of the angstiest love sick Baz. (The Hanahaki fics in this fandom are so good.) The reader does an excellent posh Baz and brings so much emotion to the table. And with 3 chapters you can listen in intervals easily without losing your place. I think this was my first Podfic in the fandom (and ever!) and I just remember being in awe that such a wonderful thing existed.

There are 47 podfics tagged in the CO fandom on AO3. Go give them a peek and get yourself excited about hearing more when the Podfest drops some new gems Oct 29-Nov 11th. Click on the link above to follow the blog for updates. 🎙️💕

#thank you for the rec! #cosign on all of these #i'm so excited to participate in this fest!! #carry on podfics #caught on tape fest 2023

[cottagepodfics]

We’re running a podfic festival called Caught on Tape for the Carry On Fandom! Any ship, any length, any experience level!

Some info on this event:

What is it?

A fest to encourage members of the CO fandom to try their hand at podficcing, and to get us more excellent podfic content.

Okay cool, but what’s a podfic?

Podfic is an audio recording of fanfic, read aloud by a fan (or several). The term is also used as a verb; someone may ask to podfic someone else's story, or spend an afternoon podficcing. Podfic is also known as audiofic. (Thanks Fanlore!)

When is it happening?

Podfics will be posting from October 29th to November 11th, 2023. Sign-ups for authors to give explicit permission for their fics to be made into podfics will open soon, and stay open until August 31st. Podfic creator signups will open September 1st and run to September 15th. A detailed schedule will follow shortly!

Who can participate?

Everyone! No matter your experience level or your recording setup, we want you! Watch this blog for helpful tips on podfic production. Detailed fest rules coming soon!

What rating can the podfic be?

Any rating may be created. We simply ask that no minors create podfics for M-/E-rated fics.

Which fics can be podficced?

Any fic, as long as the author has given permission. This permission can be given three different ways: (1) the authors will be given a chance to give permission for specifc fics of theirs in a list we’ll be maintaining (more details to come); (2) the authors can provide blanket permission on their AO3 profile or Tumblr to let podficcers know any of their works may be podficced; (3) a podficcer can reach out to an author directly to ask for express consent.

How many podfics can someone create?

As many as you want!

If anyone has any other questions, please let us know via ask/reply/dm!

More details to follow soon, please follow for updates and reblog to spread the word.

#OMG OMG OMG #yes!!! carry on needs so many more podfics!! #how many can i realistically record? Like 20? #carry on podfic #carry on #caught on tape fest 2023

in scruffiness and in beard - written by DesignatedGrape

Steddie (Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson) - Rated M - 6k words

Inspired by art by @eddiemunsons-missingnipple

“Your boyfriend here—” Robin gestures to Steve with a flick of her wrist “—still can’t decide what he wants to do for the ACT UP fundraiser.”

Eddie pouts faux-sympathetically at Steve, the corners of his eyes crinkling as he tries to hold back a smile. “The offer still stands to join me on my journey, you know.” He runs a hand along his own jaw. “Even though you won’t be able to compete with my sexy, sexy Tom Selleck beard.”

“Tom Selleck has a mustache.” Steve wrinkles his nose. “You’re talking about growing a full beard. You’re going to look like a mountain man.”

“Your sexy, sexy mountain man.” Eddie takes a large bite of apple, then grins around it as he chews.

“You know what?” Steve says. “Sure.”

Eddie raises an eyebrow. “Sure what?”

“I’ll join you.”

I wrote a thing! Read it on AO3 here.

talk it up (what i came here for)

Written by heartofwinterfell - Rated T - 1 hr 12 min

“Wait, wait, wait. You, Erica Sinclair”—Steve brandished his spoon at her, flinging flecks of ice cream spit onto the counter, before flipping it back on himself—“want me to help Eddie Munson get some game?” “You know, Lucas said it took you a while to get with the program, but this is embarrassing.” [or, erica spends the month of june trying to solve a love triangle]

The fourth installment of my outsider POV series! Which I posted a month and a half ago and never made a tumblr post about. Oops.

Thank you to heartofwinterfell (@nancywheeeler) for having blanket permission to podfic!

P.S. Authors, if you're interested in having other creators make podfics, art, etc. of your works, please consider adding a blanket permission statement to your AO3 profile! It can be as simple as, "I give permission for creators to make fanworks based on my fics." I promise that a permission statement will be noticed and appreciated, and we will likely take you up on it!
