kitsuneheartHappy New Year!
Today marks the start of the 2025 Podfic Big Bang! It's been a long time since our last Big Bang, so let's just review some basics.
What is the Podfic Big Bang?
The Podfic Big Bang encourages participants to make podfics of epic length; 10,000 words or more. The 2025 Podfic Big Bang will run from today, January 1st, until March 31st.
Sign-ups
Just comment below! As this is the first year back, we're taking it easy on the paperwork. It can be as little as "I'm signing up" or you can say whatever you'd like about your plans.
Community
Other than replying to posts here, there's no main PBB community. Instead, we recommend you join the PodfiChat Discord group, where podficcers gather year-round. There are multiple discussion channels, including one just for project and fest discussions.
Rules
Schedule
We'll have check-ins every 3 weeks. These aren't strictly mandatory, but are recommended, especially for those who aren't active in the PodfiChat Discord.
Posting guidelines
An AO3 collection for the 2025 Podfic Big Bang will be opened on March 15th, 2025. This will be an open, unrevealed collection, until closing when March 31st, 2025 is all over. (If it’s still the 31st somewhere, you’re good!) On April 1st, the collection will be revealed with a BANG!
Now...sign up, pick a fic, and have fun!

Rules
- Minimum length: 10,000 words
- A multi-part series that adds up to 10,000 or more words is acceptable, but each part posted for PBB must not have been posted before.
- So, if you’ve posted part 1 of a series, you can do parts 2+ for PBB, but part 1 does NOT count towards the word total.
- You may submit as many qualifying works as you wish.
- Collaboration is great! Co-narrators, editors, whatever!
- Podfics are to be posted in an AO3 collection
Schedule
- Sign-ups begin: January 1st, 2025
- Check-in #1: January 22, 2025
- Check-in #2: February 12th, 2025
- Check-in #3: March 5th, 2025

- Collection closed and revealed: April 1st, 2025
