• recordings of fics featuring chromatic characters


• recordings of fics in English dialects associated with chromatic cultural groups (including creoles, pidgins, ethnolects, etc.)

If the mods would like to post something to podficmeta about the challenge, I would welcome it.

I was debating whether or not it would be okay to post there and was going to PM you to ask. Thanks for letting me know!

I'm really excited to see this challenge! I've had my eye on a couple of stories that would fit and this will be great incentive for me to get them done, and I'm really looking forward to hearing what other people do. Thanks a lot for organizing this.

I'm so glad to hear that you're excited about the challenge! I'm also looking forward to hearing all the results. \o/ (And thanks for linking on your journal!)

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that this post is missing the dates for the posting period (Feb 28-March 5, right?).

[troisroyaumes]

Yes, that's correct. Thanks for the reminder; I'll update the post.

Is there a minimum length requirement for the challenge?

[troisroyaumes]

No minimum!
