podficbigbang | Entries tagged with round 7 (2018): mod posts

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.

Hello and welcome to our fourth (or second for artists) and final check in! This check in is very important and we have a lot of information for you so buckle up because things are changing.

(and by “things” we mean posting)

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.

If you think you think an extension of a couple of days will help you complete your podfic, please talk to us (Twitter DMs, Messaging here, emailing, etc.).

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.)

Also: Don’t forget to sign up if you want art for your podfic! Sign up HERE (Sign Ups will open in a bit so keep an eye out for the post.)

Ways to do this include: delivering liberal doses of encouragement, offering advice, providing gentle reminders of deadlines, and celebrating your podficcer's accomplishments.
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.

RULE AND REQUIREMENTS

Podficcers

Your mission is to record at least 75,000 words in a single podfic/podfic anthology.
Individual podficcers may record one podfic or many to meet the minimum word requirement, so long as all podfics can be part of an anthology.
Multiple podficcers may collaborate to record one multivoice podfic to meet the minimum word requirement.
You may collaborate with other podficcers for the challenge, but we would appreciate it if all co-collaborators signed up here so we have everyone's contact information in case we need it.
You may choose to submit as many 75,000-word projects as you choose, for an added challenge. I know there are overachievers out there...
Check ins are Manditory. We want to make sure that you complete your project. Check-ins are all on Saturdays and we will nudge you if you if we haven’t heard from you by the following Monday. Please submit your contact info to THIS google form.
You must be approximately 50% complete by the art request deadline to qualify for official art match-ups.
Cover art is NOT MANDATORY. We organize match-ups through the community for people who are do not wish to make their own, but if you are not interested in or do not qualify for the official art match-ups, feel free to do what suits you best.
For this year, Epic Podfic Big Bang will have the same schedule as Podfic Big Bang.

Cover Artists

Your mission is to claim the podfic of your choice and create a minimum of one work of cover art.
You may claim one podfic the first week after art claims open.
You may claim as many additional podfics as you wish after the first week of art claims.

Just so we’re all on the same page, this post will detail the differences between Podfic Big Bang 2017 and 2018.

1) This year, check-ins will be MANDATORY. The mods want to make sure that you have all the resources you need to finish the challenge, and that means staying updated on your progress. Check-ins are all on Saturdays and we will nudge you if you if we haven’t heard from you by the following Monday. Please leave your info in this Google form if we need to follow up with you.

2) After much deliberation, the mods have decided that Podfic Big Bang and Epic Podfic Big Bang will run concurrently, both posting between October 14 and 31. (This will likely change again next year.)

3) We’ve decided against the THEME aspect of previous rounds. Feel free to choose whatever story appeals to you.

4) We are bringing back beta listeners and cheerleaders! Neither of these are required, but we know that recording 10K, 50K, or more can be exhausting. If you are willing to cheerlead and/or beta listen to someone’s work, sign ups for that will go up in July.

5) Finally, Podfic Big Bang will no longer have a required posting format. We will still provide a posting format for those who want one. However, if you have your own format, please use it!

- Who's running this?

analise010,

opalsong are this year's moderators, with

itsadrizzit as our Tumblr correspondent.

- Why are you only hosting this challenge on Dreamwidth now?
Trying to keep track of things in two different places was just too difficult. With the 2017 exodus from LJ to DW, it felt appropriate to switch to DW only, though we will cross post important news to Twitter and Tumblr.

- Will there be a sign-up post for cheerleaders and beta listeners this year?
YES! This year, we are bringing back betas and cheerleaders. Stay tuned in July.

- Will be bringing back Epic Podfic Big Bang as well?
Yes! ...but the mods are still working on what the structure will look like. More info to come!

- Are you affiliated with the audiofic archive?
No. If you want your podfics added to the audiofic archive, you'll still need to post them to

amplificathon.

- May I podfic a story in a language other than English?
Yes.

- May I podfic a series of shorter fics for a cumulative word count of more than 10,000 words?
Yes. A series of fics will often have an overarching storyline, so we see no harm in counting treating a series this way.

- May I podfic a fic and its sequel for a cumulative word count of more than 10,000 words?
Yes.

- May I podfic an anthology of unrelated fics to meet my word count?
No.

- May I podfic a story that has already been recorded somewhere?
Yes.

- May I podfic a story that I wrote myself?
Yes.

- May I finish a podfic I started recording before the challenge for this challenge?
Yes, but only if you have not started publicly posting it as a WIP anywhere.

- May I organize a collaborative podfic with multiple podficcers?
Yes.

- May I submit more than one project to the challenge?
Yes.

- Do I need to submit proof of permission to podfic?
No.

- May I post my podfic early if I finish early?
No. Please wait until the official posting period.
