2019 Podfic Big Bang Chill Edition

Hey all! It is getting time to think about Podfic Big Bang again. And think your mods have done. I have some bad news and some good news. Bad news first, despite how flush with excitement and ideas we were during/after last year’s Podfic Big Bang round (not that we implemented most of them, and had some stumbles with those we did), Real Life has come down on both of your mods hard. We want to be transparent with you, to let you know why things are different this year. This Big Bang means a lot to both of us and we want everyone to have a good experience. We wouldn’t be able to fulfill that if we tried to follow the regular template. Neither of us felt good about letting Podfic Big Bang lie fallow for a year either.

So Instead we are going to try something new.

Welcome to Podfic Big Bang 2019: Chill Edition! Details are below.

( How this is going to work )


( Art and Artists! )


( Betas and Cheerleaders! )

That’s about all we have for now. An Opening Check In Post and the Art Post will go up on June 1st.

Thank you all so much for your patience. We have all these great ideas for Podfic Big Bang and are both passionate about long podfic. We hope to have regular (and maybe even improved) Podfic Big Bang and Epic Podfic Big Bang back next year. (Unless everyone likes this better! Then we’ll take a good look at this and see what we can tweak to make even better and roll with that.)

Posting Guidelines for Round 7 (2018)

Sep. 29th, 2018 09:01 pm
analise010: (Analise010)
[personal profile] analise010
Posting is changing a bit this year. We have 1 major changes and 1 minor one.

Major Change: Moderated Posting
The posting period is once again October 14-31. Originally, we shifted the deadline so that we could spread the podfics as evenly as we could. However, we have decided that we will directly moderate and only release 2-3 posts per day. Think of it like your Tumblr queue. That being said, if you know you'll be done your podfic by October 14, we highly encourage you to post as soon as possible, so that we don't have everyone posting in the last 3 days.

Minor Change: Posting Template
This challenge no longer has a required posting template. \o/ We will still provide a template for people who would like one, but it is not required.

( Posting directly to Dreamwidth )


( Posting directly to AO3 )


( I'm an artist. What about me? )

Please comment here if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

What we need from you for this check in are 2 things (just two!).

 

1)      Check out THIS post about submission/posting changes. (Edit: Now with correct link again)
 

2)      Please let us know whether you believe (or already have) you will finish in time to submit.

This is check-in #3 for podficcers and check-in #1 for artists (HI!). How are you doing? Did you breeze through recording? Are you obsessing over sound effects? Baffled by editing? Wherever you are, let us know!

We are 6 weeks away from posting, so this is the time to take a hard look at your projects and say, "What do I need to do to finish on time?"

Please check-in by commenting here, DMing us on twitter, or emailing us. Your message can be as simple as "My podfic is done! \o/ Now I have to start working on the cover I claimed." Check-ins are MANDATORY, so be sure to update us on all of your projects (podfic and art alike). If you haven’t checked in by Monday we will come find you and if you haven’t responded to that message by next Saturday we will cry as we remove you from the participant list. (Please don’t make us cry.)

Hey! It is that time again.  It is Check In #2. Remember that this check in is MANDATORY. Please check in by commenting here, DMing on twitter, or emailing us.  Brag about how much you’ve done, commiserate about how hard going it is, ask for help with stumbling blocks, let us know that you are completely done and looking for a new challenge, let us know that you were on vacation for two weeks and haven’t touched it, but mostly, remember that we exist and that you are signed up!


If you haven’t checked in by Monday we will come find you (ominous music plays) and if you haven’t responded to that message by next Saturday we will cry as we remove you from the participant list. (Please don’t make us cry.)

  • You will be promoted as a resource to people who need a little extra encouragement.
Betas
  • Your main mission is: to review a fanwork and offer suggestions for improvement.
  • Ways to do this include: listening to podfic drafts or previewing art drafts and providing reviews/comments.
  • You will be promoted as a resource to podficcers who need help with the editing and revision process.

If you want to be a beta and/or cheerleader, copy & paste the form below and fill it out in the comments. A podficcer will contact you personally for help.

Epic Podfic Big Bang 2015 FAQ

Dec. 25th, 2014 03:26 pm
eosrose: (Podfic Big Bang)
[personal profile] eosrose

Have questions? Please ask here. Rules that apply to the regular edition of the Podfic Big Bang are a little different from the Epic Podfic Big Bang. This is the first round, so lets figure things out together. ♥

  1. May I post my EPBB podfic(s) early?
    No, the first time any part of your podfic should be posted publicly should be during the EPBB's official posting period.

  2. I started recording a podfic that would be great for this challenge; may I still finish it for this challenge?
    Yes, provided you have not published any part of the podfic already. All podfics must see their first publication date during the EPBB official posting period.

  3. I've already started posting the first few chapters of a long podfic to my journal; may I take them down and post the podfic for this challenge?
    No, the first time any part of your podfic should be posted publicly should be during the EPBB's official posting period.

  4. May I submit my EPBB podfic(s) to additional big bangs?
    No, the podfic(s) you submit to the EPBB challenge should not be used for another other big bang challenge, even if our posting periods align perfectly. However, your podfics may be recorded as gifts, to fulfill a charity auction request, to fulfill a fandom bingo slot, or as part of any other non-big bang challenge provided the podfic is not published anywhere before the EPBB official posting period.

  5. How broadly or narrowly do you define "a single fandom."
    If you think your audience would consider it a single fandom, I will accept your judgement. I'm inclined to approach the rule with an open mind.

  6. May I podfic crossovers?
    Yes, so long as the main crossover fandom is the fandom you've claimed to meet your word count. If the crossover has a hundred different fandoms and your main fandom only makes a passing appearance, the work is not qualified.

  7. May I podfic a fic that is a work in progress?
    Any podfic that you post must be complete. If you're reasonably sure that the fic you wish to podfic will be finished in time for you to podfic and post it for this challenge, you're welcome to take that risk. My personal recommendation is to bookmark the work-in-progress for the next round and try to find something that's already complete.

Epic Podfic Big Bang 2015 Rules & Sign-Ups

Dec. 25th, 2014 11:26 am
eosrose: (Podfic Big Bang)
[personal profile] eosrose

In 2015, Podfic Big Bang presents the Epic Edition, henceforth known as Epic Podfic Big Bang or EPBB! This edition of the challenge will run for eight months, from January through August, with posting scheduled for the first week in September. With a 75,000-word minimum requirement, podficcers will be expected to record and edit approximately 10,000 words per month.

Never fear! The usual Podfic Big Bang with the 10,000-word minimum requirement will begin immediately after the epic round ends and span four months, with posting scheduled for the end of December. Anyone who doesn't finish their 75,000 words in time for EPBB will, of course, be welcome to post it during the regular PBB.

Requirements
Podficcers Artists Cheerleaders & Betas
Record at least 75,000 words of podfic in a single fandom. Contribute at least one artistic addition inspired by the podfic. Help encourage the podficcer/artist and assist in polishing the final product.
