Posting period

2012-03-03T04:44:08Z

Posted by: troisroyaumes

I apologize for my total failure to put up any more reminders, but posting period does open today, as you may have seen with luzula and kalakirya's posts earlier. If you need hosting, please be sure to email your podfics to me if you have not done so already. If you are supplying your own hosting, feel free to go ahead and make a post to this community at any time this week until March 16. Once your podfics are posted here, you are quite welcome to post them elsewhere, such as amplificathon or Archive of Our Own.

(Since I was lax in putting up reminders, I'd be happy to provide any extensions to people who need them. Just comment to this post or send me a PM letting me know how long you need so I know when to put up a masterlist.)

FANDOM IS SRS BZNESS (Leverage) and some backlog

2012-02-08T03:51:36Z

Posted by: susan_voight

Story: FANDOM IS SRS BZNESS by dhobikikutti

Reader: susan_voight

Fandom: Leverage

Author's summary: So then, because he’s Hardison, he created a fandom.

Content notes: gen; no standard notes apply. Author's rating: general audiences.

Download or Stream: at the Archive of Our Own (to reduce time spent fighting linkrot). If AO3 is down, check out my reader page at the audiofic archive or my Google Drive.

Reader's note: I am currently trying to record something very long and emotionally fraught, and needed to record something upbeat and quickly-finished as a break. Hardison is always great fun to read and I love the layers of meta in this story.

Feedback and constructive criticism: better than betaing (but probably not better than actually writing) the Fic That Ate Yuletide.

Also posted to amplificathon/amplificathon and AO3.

In addition, here are a bunch of podfics previously posted to amplificathon and not here because I didn't know it was here, in reverse chronological order. Fandoms: Temeraire, SGA, Alien movie series, SG-1, Leverage/Iron Man movies.

Match-up post for cover art and other collaborations

2012-01-28T04:58:48Z

Posted by: troisroyaumes

Interested in collaborating on a project for chromatic_podfic? Connect with other participants in comments to this post! We'd love to have visual artists and other fans besides podficcers participate in this challenge.

A podfic/podbook cover is typically square and could incorporate original art, images of the characters, other stock footage, or simply the title, author and reader information. Keep in mind that even a very simple cover can dress up a podfic and act as an advertisement for the audio performance.

Some other possibilities for collaborations could be:

a sound artist working with the podfic reader to add music or sound effects to the recording

a second reader contribute singing, quotations, chapter headings, or another small piece of the text

an author writing a text intended specifically for being recorded (for more on this idea, check out the pod_together challenge)

If you're starting a thread, please put the kind of work you want to do (cover graphic, podfic, etc.) in the subject line and fill out one of these forms. You might want to start more than one thread if you're interested in doing several kinds of work.

For podficcers:

For other artists:

(We would appreciate it if you could help signalboost to fanartists and other fanwork creators who might be interested in collaborations!)

This post will remain open for both podficcers and other artists to leave comments until posting period begins on March 2. If you see a comment from someone you'd like to work with, feel free to comment here or contact them by email or PM. The mods won't be matching up artists and podficcers directly, so please peruse the threads to see if anyone is offering the kind of collaboration you're looking for and be responsible in communicating with your fellow artist/podficcer if you do choose to undertake a partnership.

Sign-ups close tomorrow, January 28! (If you haven't yet decided on a fic, consider perusing the comments to the wishlist post.)

There's still a few days left to sign up for this year's Chromatic Podfic Challenge! Sign ups will close on Saturday, January 28.

For those of you who want to participate but can't decide on which fics to record, last year, I asked the community to leave comments with fics that they especially wanted to listen to as podfic. Feel free to check out the old list...and please comment here with more links to fic that would be great performed as podfic or general prompts for what you might want to see from this challenge (e.g. podfic featuring a certain chromatic character or podfic recorded in a certain dialect or language).

Also, I'd like to welcome sophinisba as the new co-mod, both for the community and for the challenge!

Chromatic Podfic Challenge: Rules and Sign-up

2012-01-14T02:40:12Z

Posted by: troisroyaumes

Rules

1. Podfic submissions should meet one of the following criteria as outlined in the community sticky post.

2. You must obtain permission from the author of the fic (unless, of course, you are reading your own fic). Please make sure that the author is aware that you are sharing your podfic on this community. If the author has already left a comment on the authorial permission list or has in some way or another given permission in advance, then you don't need to contact them separately, but if not, please get in touch with them.

3. More than one person can sign up to record the same fic. Similarly, collaborations with more than one reader are also welcome.

4. Sign-ups will close on 2012 January 28. You are welcome to record and submit additional qualifying podfics that are not mentioned in your initial sign-up, if you have extra time before the deadline; just let the mod know.

5. Record your podfic by 2012 March 2. If you would like the mod to provide hosting, please email your audio file to tarigwaemir at gmail dot com by this deadline.

6. If you do not require hosting, post your podfic anytime during the posting period: 2011 March 2-March 8. The mod will post all podfics received in email.

7. All participants are welcome to submit their podfic to the audiofic archive and/or crosspost to amplificathon after their podfic is posted on this community.

8. If you plan to podfic a story that isn't already written (i.e. if you plan to orally narrate a new story yourself or if you want to collaborate with a writer who will write a story specifically for you to podfic), just make a note of it in your sign-up instead of providing a title, and describe how the planned podfic will fit the challenge requirements. (E.g. be sure to mention the fandom and character(s) the story will feature or the dialect/language you plan to record in, depending on what aspects meet the challenge requirements.)

If you plan to participate in the chromatic_podfic challenge, please comment to this post with the following information:

Name:
Contact info: (either a Dreamwidth/LiveJournal account that receives PMs or an email address)
Fic title(s) and author(s): (see clarification below)
Dialect/language: (if applicable)
Hosting needed? (yes/no)

* As a point of clarification, the idea is to help people go into the challenge with some sort of plan, so please don't view sign-ups as a binding commitment. You're welcome to sign up with several possible fics that you want to podfic, even if you end up running out of time for all of them. You're also welcome to record a fic that you didn't sign up for, as long as your podfic still meets our community criteria.

The community sticky post includes a list of links that may be helpful, including a pronunciation/language beta list and an authorial permission list.

ETA: Sign-ups are now closed!
