FAQs

What's the difference between your commissions and your Ao3 podfics?
Commissions are created for clients who pay me — the client owns the content. My Ao3 podfics are ones I choose to record for free, sometimes commissioning art out of my own pocket.
How do you select stories for your Ao3?
A mix of personal favorites and stories I feel I can comfortably and naturally voice.
Why MP3 only?
Editing audio takes significantly longer than recording. My rates reflect the post-production involved. Adding commissioned art would significantly raise the price and turnaround time — MP3 keeps things equitable.
What's your recording set-up?
XLR mic, Scarlett Solo interface, audio mixing in GarageBand.
💎 Commissions are not first come, first serve. This ensures I give every project the time and quality it deserves.
