polypodweek

[polypodweek]

And now!

A week after the event has (officially) ended, most works have likely been submitted - which means it's time for some light stats =D

The 17 wonderful podficcers who participated have made 66 works in exactly 66 fandoms! A special shout out goes to @kbirbpods this year, who made 21 pods all by faerself. And then one more in collaboration!

45 of those 66 fandoms were unique*, making this the most varied Poly Podweek yet! But this year wasn't just a celebration of podfic and polyamorous relationships, but apparently also crossovers - that 1:1 ratio was only possible because of 14 crossover works!

As always, unique fandoms in this context means that different versions of the same franchise were considered separate, however, different adaptations and parent tags were not. Eg. ‘Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types’ and 'Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Video Game)’ would be considered as one fandom, whereas 'Star Wars Prequel Trilogy’ and 'Star Wars: The Bad Batch’ would be two.

Continuing the trend of spreading love amongst more fandoms than ever - sometimes at the same time! - this is the first year a single fandom wasn't far more represented than any other. In fact, multiple DC properties were vying for the top spot, so it only seemed fair to give it to DCU as a whole, with 17 pods!

Together all the works amounted to 19 hours and 27 minutes worth of podfic - the perfect amount for the next little while!

And there you have it, everybody, another Poly Podweek in numbers. Once again, thank you everybody who participated for making this event what it is!

You can find both 2025 collections right here: SFW | NSFW

BONE TO BONE

Jujutsu Kaisen: Getou Suguru/Gojo Satoru/Ieiri Shoko

Written by haarmartia & read by Elany for @polypodweek

The two of them could have been laid out on operating tables, side by side. Bones touching each other. She could have arranged that, if the circumstances were right. They weren’t, but if they were… Maybe they’d like that. Muscle to muscle, bone to bone. They look like people she used to care about, only colder.

[Podfic] monogamy is for pussies, if I do say so myself written by @14muffinz, read by @apple-sapling

Original work: monogamy is for pussies, if I do say so myself by 14Passionz (14Muffinz)

DP: Danny Fenton/Tucker Foley/Sam Manson/Valerie Grey

Length: 21:48 | Rating: T

Summary:

“Not serious,” Sam insists, because she doesn’t want them to get the impression that this is something bad, which usually goes hand in hand with serious. “Just… an observation that I didn’t want to keep to myself any longer.” Val’s suit disappears underneath her skin, though she remains perched on her board. She raises a single brow and requests, “Shoot.” In a move that Sam rarely makes, she takes in a single steadying breath. She looks between the three faintly glowing gazes of her friends, and reminds herself that after everything they’ve been through together, this certainly won’t be the conversation to break them apart. “I don’t think that what’s between the four of us is… strictly platonic. It hasn’t been for a while, actually.” [Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Valerie try out more traditionally romatic things in their dynamics. Is it a polycule? ... Probably. That doesn't matter that much, in the grand scheme of things.]

Last podfic I made for @polypodweek 2025!

Cupid’s Bow Flower written by SmokedAppleCores | @smokedapplecores

A The Hotel Podfic read by mistbornhero for @polypodweek

Greeting dear listeners. Love is once more in the air; whether we like it or not! This is our annual public service announcement, make sure to kill any Cupid’s Bow you see on your property.

Original Work: 'til the sun comes back (around) by @capriciouswrites [ao3: SafelyCapricious]

Marvel: Frank Castle/Karen Page, Clint Barton | Rating: Teen & Up

Summary: 

“Wow,” Clint says, blinking at the bedraggled pair at his door, “that’s a hell of a curse, huh?” “Can you help.” The man demands, not even trying to make it a question. The woman — or, well, the golden wolf by the man’s side that’s actually a woman — blinks at him imploringly.

Notes: while this fic isn't poly, exactly, it is the first meeting between clint & the established couple. and when i podded another fic in this series, i heard the idea was to make them a triad! so while the fic that may establish that isn't up yet, it was an end note on this fic of an "ot3" and i wanted to include something different (for me) in the collection! all that to say... podded for @polypodweek 2025 lol

Another year and with it another week of wonderful polypods is behind us. To everybody who participated in any way, however small, by creating podfic or cover art or writing the original stories, by listening to the works made for this fest and encouraging those participating - thank you! You're the ones that make all of this happen year after year and this past week has been positively amazing thanks to all of you!

Now it's time to catch your breath - but only if you want to! If you're not quite ready to say goodbye to Poly Podweek yet, you've still got a full week to post anything you didn't get to this past week =D

Notes: podded for @polypodweek 2025! last day of this fantastic event and I added on a few unplanned podfics to celebrate ♡

Poly Podweek 2025 is slowly but surely coming to a close

Today is the last day of this year's event, but as long as it's still 21st somewhere in the world, the day isn't over yet! You've still got a few more hours left =D

And after that? There's the week long amnesty period as well!

[ID: Text in the center says Polyam Shipping Day, 14th of every month, Feb 2025 - Epistolary. Below Polyam Shipping, and to the left of Day, is a red infinity sign that finishes in a heart on top. Surrounding the text are rows of stylized hearts in the colors of both versions of the polyam pride flag (black, red, bright blue, light green, dark green, light blue, navy). Either side of the prompt are emojis, notebook on the left and projector on the right. /end ID]

February 14th 2025 is our 46th Polyam Shipping Day.

The optional theme for it is: 📒Epistolary📽️

A classic take is long distance letter writing, or postcards when apart, or love notes just because. The letters could instead be with others talking about their love(s) rather than with them. Other choices are diary entries, travel/ships logs or other types of logs. Modern takes are email exchanges, DMs, voice memos, chatfic, blogs and social media AUs. This could also be document comments or replies on a ticket system if your characters work together. If in the public eye, newspaper and magazine articles or online speculation about the ship/polycule. For something more unusual you could tell a story with other types of documents, such as receipts or invoices.

This is also a great opportunity for a collab with another writer(s) or artist(s) where each of you writes for a character or illustrates the letters the characters send to each other. Think outside the box!

…

We’ll be tracking #PolyamShippingDay, and keeping an eye out for any @polyamships mentions too. We will reblog any polyam-positive fanworks featuring polyamorous ships of any configuration/type from any fandom. All ratings are welcome but anything nsfw/triggery should be warned for and behind a read more, as should very long tumblr fic.

You can also submit works directly to the blog or send us asks to let us know to check your blog for a post. If you’re posting on AO3, our collection name is ‘PolyamShippingDay‘ and you can post to the collection here. Only fanworks submitted/@ us on tumblr or in the official AO3 collection, or fanworks posted to our Dreamwidth community, are guaranteed to be included in our roundup. Please also let us know what prompt you created for, if any - people are always welcome to create for past prompts instead.

We have a Discord - invite here - if you want a place to chat about your ships or what you’re creating for them.

We look forward to seeing what people create for it. If you’re enthused about the day, we’d be especially appreciative of any reblogs to help spread the word about the event.
