Anatsuno: I really want that conversation to take place.
Personally, I sort of want to see more things like this. But, like you sort of said Paraka, as meta or conversation, not as a secret. (I'd like to believe those saying it was creepy aren't really podfic-listeners, because to me it seems inevitable to be walking along and be suddenly hit by the ridiculously hot podfic in my ears. Telling the podficcer that shouldn't be a *bad* thing. It's at least a compliment to their method of storytelling.)
On the 'be in my bunk' response. I've always thought of the ritual of that phrase as being helpful to hidden honesty. You can say owe me panties/be in my bunk and have it be interpreted as an euphemistic fandom joke. Which can be the cover for the truth. I've always thought of it like that: Jayne was telling the truth when he said it, so why can't that responder be telling the truth as well? No one says I'll be in my bunk to podfic because feedback is non-immediate, so it doesn't work. If there was another, standard phrase which worked, maybe that would pop up in feedback.
But, it does feel more intimate/invasive to say, oh Podficcer X, your voice is sexy, I'll be in my bunk with this Wincest you just uploaded, than to say I'll be in my bunk after having read the entirety of a fic. The podfic option sounds like more of a plan of action. And the fic is just Sam and Dean; the podfic is Sam and Dean and Podficcer X.
Also, because I pick fics to podfic that I adore and don't have any even slight qualms about, I occasionally end up being turned on listening to my own voice while editing. Now that's a weird experience. Not all the time, and definitely some stories more readily than others. I've been sporadically working on an anthology of blowjob fics*, and some of them aren't sexy at all, and others are completely distracting. It feels very narcissistic.
*side note: I'm really nervous about actually posting the blowjob anthology. It seems so indulgent, and silly, and like I'm putting a huge porny label on myself. Also, that it'll turn into a monologue, because there is a critical mass of blowjobs and I've passed it. Would I be comfortable if someone said they got off to it? Probably I'd be pretty pleased. It is mostly just porn, made interesting by contexts, and presumably people who like porny podfics will download an anthology so honestly named. What makes me uncomfortable is people having a list of what I get off to, or thinking they have that list. Like this is a revelation of my psyche or something, like how you can pull an author's preoccupations out of their fiction if they've written enough.
That's the part of podficcing/writing PWP which unnerves me. If people responded to a podfic with be in my bunk/another euphemism or lack thereof, awesome. If someone responded with 'oh, my goodness, you really like Sheppard getting choked, don't you?', *that* would freak me out.
