Name (Pronouns): Nonplussed (they/them)
Current fandoms: Kiseki: Dear to me, a bunch of Thai BL (eg. Be My Favorite, Only Friends, Kinnporsche), MDZS/Untamed. But I've been in fandom for almost two decades now, and my old fandoms never leave my heart, it's just that there's too many of them to list
You can also find me on: AO3 as

nonplussed
What I do: Write fic and lurk, though I'm dipping a toe into podficcing

Requests

I'd appreciate it if I didn't receive anything more than 30 minutes long. That said, if you found something that you think would be perfect, but is longer than 30 minutes, I'll try my best to find time to listen to it in one sitting. I don't mind having music/sound effects in the podfic, though it's certainly not required! I don't mind podfic with freetalk/commentary either! Also, if you're unsure what to podfic, anything I've written would always be great, even if it's not one of the the fandoms/ships I've requested, or involves one of my stated DNWs. I don't mind repods!

Things I like: Humour and shenangians! Found family and friendships! Fix-its and happy endings! Get-togethers, friends-to-lovers, fealty and loyalty! Femslash and rarepairs and moresomes! I also generally prefer canon settings over AUs.

DNW (I have liked fics with these things, so no judgement, but would prefer to screen fics involving them myself): PWP (though fic with some smut is okay), major character death (unless it's canonical), horror, angst without a happy ending, infidelity, non-con, mpreg, omegaverse, kidfic, trans headcanons of characters that are not canonically trans, explicitly neurodivergent headcanons of characters that are not canonically explicitly neurodivergent, rule 63, characters being from of different race/country of origin than in canon

Fandoms:

Tactical Breach Wizards: The most niche request on this list, haha, honestly any fic featuring Jen's team would be great but my heart belongs to Jen/Banks.
Kiseki: Dear to Me: My favourite ship is actually Ai Di & Bai Zongyi (I wanna see them be ride-or-die so badly, and if their friendship had benefits I would be super stoked), though of course I like Fan Zerui/Bai Zongyi and Chen Yi/Ai Di too. Would also love any combination of moresome with the boys. Secret ship of my heart: Chen Dong Yang/Zhou Minglei (the hints of loyalty/fealty kink? :chefskiss:)
Be My Favorite: I'm so very fond of Pisaeng, and his growth over the series really touched my heart. I would especially love anything in which we get to explore more dimensions to Pisaeng than just his devotion to Kawi. I would be okay with not just anything set in the best timeline, but also anything set in one of the less-good timelines, as long as Kawi/Pisaeng eventually have a happy/hopeful ending. Secret ship of my heart: Pearmai/Kwan (Kwan deserved better, and Pearmai also deserves better than some random dude whose name I don't even remember)
Final Fantasy XV: Noctis/Prompto/Ignis/Gladio; the boys deserve to be together forever haha! Do NOT want any version of events where Noct dies. Secret ship of my heart: Lady Lunafreya/Gentiana (the goddess who falls in love with the human she's devoted to, whom she knows is fated to die? So delicious...though if you go with this, please pick something where Luna doesn't actually die, or at least not without having lived a full human life)
The Doomsday Books - KJ Charles: Oh Luke/Rufus, the nieyao of them ate me alive! I would be happy to have anything with them, especially post-canon. Secret ship of my heart: Emily/Berengaria (Emily choosing to be a housemaid for her? Like daaaamn, that's devotion)
Society of Gentlemen - KJ Charles: Dom/Silas are my favourite of all of KJ Charles' boys, so anything featuring them, or a moresome with any of the other Ricardians/Will/Quex, would be great! A fic exploring the friendships between the Ricardians post-canon, or between Silas & Cyprian, would also be lovely!
Thai Actor RPF: I adore First/Khaotung, and would also love any moresome involving them. I also enjoy Off/Gun/Tay (and New, if he happens to be there, is also fine haha). Mile/Apo are also great. No non-actor AUs please.
The Untamed/MDZS: Any femslash ship or fic focussing on any of the female characters would be great (though I do have a soft spot for Wen Qing). I have to say I'm lukewarm at best on any of the het ships, and also it might be better to pick something that does NOT feature any of wangxian or 3zun too much because I'm particular about their characterisation (especially Jin Guangyao, who I love in all his complexities).
Scum Villain: Cumplane friendship (Shen Qingqiu & Shang Qinghua) is so my jam. Would also enjoy Liu Qingge/Shen Qingqiu (Shen Yuan, not Shen Jiu)/Luo Binghe, and Mobei-jun/Shang Qinghua. I'm okay with Shen Qingqiu/Luo Binghe and Liu Mingyan/Sha Hualing too. Any fic that's about SQQ or SQH being weird because of transmigration reasons, or outsider POV about their weirdness, is always peak
Hikaru no Go: Hikaru/Akira will always live in my heart! Fated rivals!! Would especially love anything set after Hikaru turns pro. I don't mind there being other sideships in this too (eg waya/isumi, etc)

Offers

Would genuinely be down to podfic anything in the fandoms I listed, and in fact in any fandom at all (I have podficced stuff fandom and ship blind and it has been a fun challenge). I'm happy to record explicit fics/PWP as well, and also things that are more angsty/dead dove. Re: RPF, I would be happy to record stuff outside of Thai Actor RPF (eg C-drama actors, Kpop, etc)

Ed is visited by Stede’s ghost two days after they find out that he’s dead.

“Fuck,” says Ed. “It would be you this time, instead of that fucking Lucius.”

More kissing, this one that really does fix things! No one is dead, I promise

Stede gestures at the cloth in Ed’s hands and says, “That’s a lovely piece of silk you have there,” and the feeling rises even more.

Ed shoves it back down. “Oh, this tatty old thing?” He keeps his voice careless, even. The last time he was seasick was back before his balls dropped, for fuck’s sake. And this old scrap is even more ancient history than that, calling it lovely of all things is the sort of rubbish only Stede Bonnet would—

“May I?” Stede asks.

I wrote a fic of Ed and Stede kisses! Kissing after the party, kissing after their island adventure, kissing after the act of grace, so many kisses!

List of OFMD interviews that I've enjoyed reading:

From The Verge: The big one with David Jenkins, where he talks about queerbaiting, Stede's unintentional seduction of Ed, Ed and Stede's immatuarity when it comes to love, diversity in the show
looking at how people were kind of afraid to let themselves believe that we were doing that was a surprise to me, and it’s heartbreaking ... it’s like, oh, you were made to feel stupid by a bunch of shows — unintentionally, by and large, I think — but made to feel like “maybe I’m going to be up there. Maybe that’ll be me in this story.” And then at the end of it feeling like, “Aw. No, it’s not me. I’m not in this one.” That fucks with you at any age ... I think that’s part of where the response to the show comes from.

From Nerdsandbeyond: the one with Vico where they talk about their experience with audition and working on set, and also their Jim headacanons and thoughts about other character interactions
Oh, I also loved the story of Black Pete whittling Jim a pecker. And also I’m seeing everyone making Roach the top surgeon of the ship. And, I don’t know if I’ll have top surgery any time, so thinking what if we’re five seasons deep on the show and halfway through that I’m like, “Chop, chop,” and that could be addressed on the show or not really. But it’s like maybe you see a scar here somewhere and you just know … that was Roach. I was like, “Oh, thank you, internet for helping me have that option.”

From Entertainment Weekly: another with Vico about gender identity and race and diversity, and how it felt to play Jim
Well, when I first read the script, I cried. I was like, "I can't believe that I'm not even asking for this to be a thing." In part, it's because we had three non-binary writers in the writers' room. So there's already this space in which this character is being nurtured and taken care of. ... There was already this space that's created that people already are vouching for this character and their storyline. It felt incredible.

From Indie Wire: Finally an interview that happened after ep 9 and 10, with Taika and David. They talk about the romance, and about Stede's journey
He nearly died several times, but that was really what he was after: literally to feel something, because he came from a background where there was no need to feel anything. Everything was given to him. So he started to feel, obviously, physically — by being very severely wounded — and then emotionally, by finding someone that he felt love from and love toward. So I think he’s heading back out to sea just because he’d never felt so alive in his life when he was practically dead.

From Consequence: the one with Rhys that came out when only episode 3 was airing.
You can say, “Ok, how ‘period’ are we going to be? Are we gonna be able to speak like this or use the terminology of the day?” And in the end we thought, “You know what, in order for this to be as funny as possible, we’re going to speak pretty much in modern terms. There’s gonna be the things we talk about and deal with are old world-y, but the words we’re going to use are going to be whatever’s funniest at the time.”

From Polygon: cute little interview with Rhys, David, and Taika where they talk about the themes of the show, and what it's like working together
I don’t think there was enough improv on set! ... There were wonderful things in there — there was an improvisation between Rhys and Taika at the end of the show where I remember everyone clapped on the set. It was awesome. Taika did some crazy judo move, and it’s in there in its entirety.

Hello! If I've just subscribed to you, it's either because of how friend-shaped you seemed in the friend meme over at

c_ent, or we're moots elsewhere, so please don't be alarmed! I'm trying to get the hang of DW in the hopes of abandoning Twitter, so if you've any tips or guides for how to make the most of this place, please do share!

Dear Yuletide Author

Thank you so much for joining Yuletide, and for offering to write in these fandoms! My letter is ridiculously long, but if you already have ideas on what to write, please just ignore this, and write that! I'm hopelessly easy to please! And in any case, even before you write anything, please know that I'm already completely happy that you love some of my beloved fandoms too!

Though, there are these things that generally make me uncomfortable: deaths/breakups that aren't in canon, non-con/dub-con, relationship problems that aren't resolved, fic that is unrelentingly dark /emo/sad (mostly dark/emo/sad is totally cool, so long as there is hope at the end of the tunnel!). If you're gonna smut it up (and I'm very okay with that! Write a 1000 word PWP, I will love you for it!), I'm good with most kinks, but prefer not to read fic with mpreg, scat, beastiality, watersports (this is just from a quick browse of kink-bingo's tags, so I suppose anything that's there and not here is okay).

I'm so sorry this journal is empty, but I'll make it up to you by writing a REALLY REALLY long letter! And if you're curious to know what sort of fic I read, my bookmarks on AO3 are here, and my delicious bookmarks are here (the ones I particularly like are marked awesome, or great). Hopefully, this makes things easier for you, or at least gives you some great fic to read, which makes everyone happy, right? ^^

Anyway, I'd just like to say right off that optional details are totally optional. I fall in love with fandoms for their characters, so as long as there are familiar faces in the fic, I'll be happy! And I'm sure you chose to write in these fandoms because you're full of love for them too!

( Provost's Dog - Tamora Pierce )

( Hunter x Hunter )

( Derkholm series - Diana Wynne Jones )

( Witch Hunter Robin )

Thank you thank you thank you, dear author! Sorry you had to wade through all that, but it's all optional, seriously! I'm just so full of love for these fandoms, and so thankful you're going to write it! Thank you!

Also, if we've been matched on a fandom where my prompts and squeeing is giving you a complete headache, and you're despairing because the other fandoms all look SO LONG, you have options! I mean, I know I'm overflowing with love for characters and plot, but if you're at a complete loss, a 1000-word PWP would honestly be very, very appreciated (and if you want some inspiration, smut-fics I love are bookmarked here). Or make it a fluff-fest; X character spends a perfectly ordinary day doing perfectly ordinary things with the one they love (inspiration here, or here)!

And, if you're still at a loss, I'd like to point out that dabbling in the Derkholm series just requires reading one book (Year of the Griffin, which can be ~~torrented~~ bought online in ebook format!). Also, that while Witch Hunter Robin is a 26 ep anime, you can get away with just watching the first four eps, and also that it can be ~~torrented~~ bought with english subs. Also, that Hunter x Hunter scanlations are easily found, only chapters 128-184 deal with the greed island arc, and quite frankly you can skim anything without Gon and Killua both in it. Provost's Dog...well...okay, I'll admit it's pretty long, but...you could just read the first and third books? Or just the third? ...or just the first? Or just the second?

With much love,
Nonplussed
