Playfully Planned Parenthood by ChrisCalledMeSweetie, GhostOfNuggetsPast, Podfics by Juuls
Returning home from the registry office, newlywed husbands Sherlock and John launch into an increasingly fanciful discussion of their potential parenthood. John is giddy with the joy of having just married the love of his life, while Sherlock is doing his best to pretend he isn’t every bit as giddy.
Created for the @pod-together challenge as an homage to all of the amazing Parentlock podfics out there, many of which provided inspiration for this work.

Shameless plug for some audio fanworks I was collaborating on this summer!
I participated in an event called @pod-together for the first time. Essentially, a writer and a podficcer get together to write/record a fanwork that is intended to be published in audio format.
I originally signed up to only do one fanwork, but I ended up doing some pinch hits, so I collabed on a total of three fanworks for PT!
The Diary of a Ship Cook in Unwilling Service to Captain Jack Sparrow
This is an epistolary format fic told from the POV of an OC ship cook who originally serves under Norrington in the Navy but somehow ends up tagging along with Jack and Will during Curse of the Black Pearl. @venbeth did an excellent job with the narration! He really captured how matter-of-fact the ship cook is when being kidnapped and confronting undead pirates…but then gets really huffy and emotional about food and good manners.
Today on HUNTR/X Number One Podcast: Are the Saja Boys demons???
This one is locked to AO3 users only, so you'll need to be logged into your AO3 account to read/listen/view it. A HUNTR/X fan who runs a podcast/podvid notices something fishy about HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys, so she starts to wonder…could the Saja Boys be demons??? (Nobody believes her because that's a crazy conspiracy theory, ahahahahaha. The Saja Boys are demons? Pffffft.) @annapods did a great job with acting, both physically and vocally! I also loooooove how she edited the sound effects at the very end…which I won't go into detail about, because spoilers. 👀
The two above were my pinch hits. This last one was my main PT project, the whole reason I signed up in the first place. It ended up being something of a behemoth, but I am so excited about it!
La Meowpera: A Tragedy In Three Acts
As you might surmise from the title, it's an opera…about cats! I would say the genre falls into the tragicomedy category; it's kind of a parody of grand opera, but it is also, as the title says, a tragedy. Very tropey, very soap opera-y.
And the music is AMAZING. There is a full cast of people singing the entire time, and they're all really damn good at it. There is original music scored by @farkenshnoffingottom. There is a Greek chorus narrating what happens. All the dialogue is sung/spoken entirely in "meows."
It's basically Crack Treated Seriously. The original premise sounds ridiculous, but everyone worked SUPER HARD on it! I am blown away by all the singers' performances. They were doing voice acting AND singing at the same time.
The whole thing is an hour long, but it's split into 3 chapters that are about 20 minutes each. I really hope you guys will give it a listen!

“Nigella is gone.”
The words hit you hard in your chest as you try to get your bearings. You’re in the atrium of a large house. The water is softly burbling in the fountain. And Nigella is gone.
How now, you secret, black, and midnight hags Saints? What is ’t you do?
As a throwback to last year's Podtober month, today we're focusing on Pod Together, an annual podficcing challenge, founded by Paraka and podklb. Originally started in 2011, it is subtitled A collaboration challenge for writers and podficcers. It has communities on both Livejournal and Dreamwidth, and a collection on Archive of Our Own. Podfics may be self-hosted or hosted at Paraka's archive, Paraka Productions. Meta about the process is encouraged.
The creators cite two reasons for the challenge. First, to challenge the idea that a podfic is a simple format shift from the written word; Second, to have fun and encourage writers and podficcers to create something made specifically to be performed.
Have you ever participated in the challenge? We’d love to hear about it over on Fanlore!

Summary:
“Hey, so please don’t freak out–”
In the next moment, Carlos could hear a thud, followed by a curse, and he was pretty sure the guy had just hit his head somehow. Carlos winced in sympathy.
“Sorry! Sorry, it’s just your neighbor here.”
“Dude,” came the reply, the voice sounding rough, probably from all the crying. “Way to give a person a heart attack. Also, creepy much?”
“My apologies. The walls here are basically paper with some paint slapped on. So uhm… noises are somewhat muffled but… not really, I guess.”
~*~
3 times Carlos only heard his neighbor’s voice, 2 times TK lusted over a certain officer, +1 time it all melted together.

I cannot thank my team enough 🥰 @juuls, @a-kinkajou, this was such a wonderful experience!! thank you so much for putting up with me, tolerating my rambles and my writer's block, agreeing to switch fics when I panicked, and always cheering me on - and of course for the AMAZING podfic and art respectively that you two created for this fic. I truly hope this will only be the first of many projects we will work on together 😘
Sneak peek and more art under the cut:
one
When the first sniffles came through the wall, Carlos was startled, turning in his bed where he was cocooned in his blankets, book in hand, and in the process of winding down. It was his first night home after a week straight of night shifts and it was his goal to quickly get back into a normal sleep rhythm, even though he wasn’t remotely tired.
The sniffling sound that very clearly came from the room adjacent to his didn’t help in that endeavor, setting all his senses on high alert right away.
As far as he knew, the apartment next to his had been empty for the last few months. Someone must’ve moved in during the week – which was entirely possible, seeing how Carlos hardly had any free minutes between his shifts, helping on the ranch for two days, and covering some extra shifts so Mitchell could visit her sick mom.
What little time he’d spent in his apartment, Carlos had been asleep. So yes, a new neighbor moving in without him noticing was actually quite possible.
That didn’t explain the sniffles though which by now had turned into sobs that hardly sounded muffled. And why would they? His neighbor probably didn’t realize just how thin these walls were. Carlos certainly hadn’t suspected it when he first moved in – but quickly found out the hard way. His neighbor until a few months ago certainly had a thing for loud women…
Contemplating what to do, Carlos tried to focus back on his book. It wasn’t his business why his new neighbor was sobbing so loudly. Or bawling his eyes out by the sound of it. Damn…
Putting the book back down, Carlos closed his eyes for a moment. Two parts of himself were at war right now. The polite side, reminding him that it was not his place, that it would probably be embarrassing for the man to find out that Carlos could hear him; that it wasn’t nice to snoop in other people’s privacy. And then there was his protector side, wanting to make sure the man was okay. It didn’t sound like he was in direct danger or crying because he had hurt himself. But the tears still sounded so full of pain.
In the end, it was his compassionate side that won out, and putting the book aside he turned further in bed and moved closer to the wall. Clearing his throat, he spoke just above his normal volume.

1.5k words, G, no archive warnings apply
Summary: These are the reviews of the Starship Bakerprise. Its five year plan - to explore strange new pastries; to seek out new recipes and new dessert combinations. To boldly go where no flan has gone before.
not sure if wander did post our collab during the summer and I missed it but why not promote this incredible fan fic again through my podfic?

Summary:
It’s not that Fox would have reconsidered things with Bail and Breha if he had known about…this. It’s just that if someone had told him he needed to go shopping for a “proper prince consort wardrobe” and that said shopping trip would make him long for the days of babysitting Senators…well. He’d have figured out some way to avoid this part.

Listen to the summary [mp3] it's under a minute - test it out! 🎧
Alec's second day of being home starts with a sneeze so violent that it forces all of the feathers from their comforter and pillows. "Not to worry," Magnus says cheerfully, magicking all the feathers away and replacing the bedding with a simple flourish. There must be dust in the air along with those feathers, because Alec then starts coughing, and in the process manages to summon a hairdryer, a pair of shorts, and a single, freshly boiled egg.
In which, Alec gets his first warlock flu and his magic makes it everybody's problem.
