The Podfic Big Bang

For the 2014 Podfic Big Bang, we had 6 thematic submissions (4 fix-it fics, 1 arranged marriage, and 1 soulmates) and 16 free-for-all submissions. That brings us to a grand total of 22 podfics with a cumulative total of 164+ hours. That's down a little from last year, but still very impressive. My thanks to the podficcers, artists, and betas who pulled through this year to bring us so many wonderful long podfics!

If you haven't submitted a request for art to the queue yet and you wish to be listed on the official art claims post, please either submit your request here or to the podparty queue.

Our themes for the 2014 Themeatic Week will be:

1. Soulmates (Poll - Round 1, 24 votes)
2. Pretend Relationship (Poll - Round 1, 17 votes)
3. Fix-It Fic (Poll - Round 1, 16 votes)
4. Arranged Marriage (Poll - Round 1, 15 votes)
5. Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics (Poll - Round 2, 14 votes)

Someone mentioned that most of the themes are geared toward romance. This is true; for a bit of extra challenge, I dare you to podfic something Gen that fits one of the shippy themes. ;-)

To give some leeway to fans of rare fandoms and rare ships (that often have few works over 10,000 words, much less works matching the assigned themes), podficcers have the option of recording multiple works in a SINGLE rare fandom or rare ship that fit any mix of the above themes in order to meet the 10,000 word minimum requirement. For the purposes of this challenge, a rare fandom will have fewer than 100 podfics on the audiofic archive and a rare ship will have fewer than 50 podfics on the audiofic archive. If you intend to take this route, please notify me.

Feel free to suggest fics that match the above themes in reply to this post!
