But, Kitsune Heart and AnnabellaLocked are ready to go, and we re looking forward to helping you all make some truly epic podfics!What is the Podfic Big Bang?The Podfic Big Bang encourages participants to make podfics of epic length; 10,000 words or more (more! MORE! MOAR!). Tiny podfics are nice, but sometimes you want something that is just going to suck you in for a day, a week, a month! The 2020-2021 Podfic Big Bang will run from today, September the 6th, until February 27th, 2021, with all fics being revealed on February 28th, 2021.Sign-upsSign up here, starting now! CommunityWe recommend you join the PodfiChat Discord group. There are multiple discussion channels, including one just for project and fest discussions, which is where you can keep in touch with one-another outside of check-ins!RulesMinimum length: 10,000 wordsA 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 (for those podfic robots out there).Collaboration is okay, but please specify that you are on a team in the sign-up post, and who you will be working with (in the Anything you think we should know? section).ScheduleAnnouncement and sign-ups begin: September 6th, 2020Check-in #1: October 10th, 2020Check-in #2: November 11th, 2020Check-in #3: December 19th, 2020Art sign-ups: December 19th, 2020Check-in #4: January 23rd, 2021Art due: January 15th, 2020:Collection opens: February 1st, 2020Collection closes: February 27th, 2020Collection revealed: February 28th, 2020Check-insAlong the way, we ll have 4 check-ins. Each check-in and the final posting date are spaced 5 weeks apart, across the 25 week PBB season, so when you get to the next check-in, you ll know you should be about 1/5th done.Cover artAlong with check-in #3 (December 19th, 2020), we ll be asking who wants cover art, as well as making posts around the podficcer spaces asking for art volunteers. You can also make your own cover art, collaborate with another participant to exchange cover art, or opt for no art at all.Posting guidelinesAn AO3 collection for Podfic Big Bang 2020-2021 will be opened on February 1st, 2020. This will be an open, unrevealed collection, until closing on February 27th, 2021. (If it s still the 27th somewhere, you re good!)

(Thanks klb!)Hello and welcome to the inaugural Chromatic Characters Podfic Anthology! If you re familiar with the annual Awesome Ladies Podfic Anthology (ALPA), a lot of the following information will be very familiar to you, but if you re not, we re collecting short podfics that center characters of color in different fandoms to release as an anthology and as a collection of individual files.This year's submission deadline is September 10th, and we will post on September 30th.Our inaugural theme for this year's anthology is justice. It's optional all podfics are welcome as long as they follow the rules laid out in the Submission Guidelines but feel free to let it inspire you if you'd like.If you d like to get a sense of this project, you can see the previous Awesome Ladies Podfic anthologies, which this event is based on, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.To Podficcers: Interested in participating? We'd love to have you. This should be a low-stress project, even for people who are new to podficcing, due to the word-count: 1500 words or less (with many being as short as 1-2 minutes.) If you'd like to record something for this anthology, please fill out this quick google form and we'll send you the link to the spreadsheet where we'll be keeping track of all the podfics.Here are some good places for finding short fics about characters of color:-The Character(s) of Color, Female Character of Color, LGBTQ Character of Color, or Male Character of Color tags at the AO3, limited to word counts of 1500 or less.-The Dark Agenda Collection on AO3 (includes fanworks from Chromatic Yuletide, Chromatic Remix Redux, Kaleidoscope Fanwork Exchange, Kaleidoscope Treats, and Racebending Revenge)-chromatic_fanfic-The Chamber collection-Chromaticvision drabble collection-Seeing Color collection-Marvel POC Characters Fanworks Exchange-Awesome People of Colour are Awesome: Comment-a-thon on DW and the AO3 collection-No White Saviors Allowed-- Challenges for The 100 Characters of Color-Not Green or Blue ficathon for characters of color in comicsSince this project has a relatively quick turnaround time, you may want to refer to this database of authors who have posted blanket permission statements.As an aid to encourage mindfulness when selecting stories for the anthology, we strongly recommend you to check out this resource from Writing With Color about common stereotypes and tropes in stories about characters of color. We would like to encourage thoughtful representation in the stories included in this anthology as much as possible.To the Podcurious: A number of prolific podficcers have gotten their start by contributing to the Awesome Ladies Podfic Anthology, which this anthology is based on. If you have ever thought you might like to create podfic, this could be a really great starting place. It's low pressure, you'll get a lot of listeners, you're contributing to a cool fanwork that celebrates our love for characters of color, and it's not too intense of a spotlight, because your piece is in the company of many other voices.To Everyone: Feel free to comment with links to other fests or specific works that you think would be a good fit for this anthology. Additionally, we are looking for technical beta listeners who can absolutely commit to at LEAST two hours of beta listening between September 12th and 19th to check for volume issues, errors and inconsistencies, metadata, etc. In addition, if anyone would be willing to lend their services as sensitivity listeners, please let us know if you'd be available and interested; we'd be very grateful!To Authors: We've had some awesome authors get involved in the past, in pod_together style, to create short pieces for Awesome Ladies in collaboration with podficcers. If you re an author who s interested in writing for characters of color and is seeking podficcers to work with, feel free to comment below. Podficcers who would like this sort of collaboration, please reply directly to the authors.Below you will find our rules and submission guidelines. If you have any additional questions, please let us know!Basic RulesEach reader can make up to 5 podfics to include in the anthology (though an unlimited number may be included in the spreadsheet/AO3 collection), and each story should be no more than 1500 words.All stories should focus on characters of color, including racebent characters.All fandoms, including rpf fandoms, are eligible.All podfics should be submitted in mp3 format.As long as it is still the day of the deadline anywhere on Earth, you are allowed to submit podfics.Effects are fine, but please do not use intro or outro music in the version of the podfic you submit for the Anthology (just for the sake of time it's usually hours long, so we'd like to keep each podficlet within it to the header info we requested, the words of the story, and the end in order to not expand the time further. If you'd like to add in music to the version that you crosspost or that goes into the excel spreadsheet of individual podficlets, that's totally fine!Important note: Please make sure you read and follow the Submission Guidelines. It helps everything flow together much better, and it makes the mods' jobs so much easier!Submission GuidelinesFor the sake of consistency within the anthology, we'd like to ask that everyone follow these guidelines for eligible fics and the metadata you include in the podfic:-All recordings should begin and end with two seconds of silence.-Each reading should begin, [Title], written by [author], read by [reader]. Fandom: [Fandom]. We also suggest including appropriate warnings or content notes for common triggers such as sexual assault, graphic violence, and major character death. Because we are dealing with characters of color, we do require content warnings for slurs and depictions of hate crimes; we also strongly recommend warnings for depictions of racist microaggressions. (This is not to say that we discourage stories in which characters engage with the lived realities of racism and colonialism; rather that we recognize that some listeners may not be in a space where they want to engage with those kinds of themes and should have a choice to opt in or out of listening.) Please refer to this document for suggested guidelines about when and what to warn for, as well as resources for defining and identifying microaggressions. -Each reading should end with The End .-The metadata should follow this format:Name: [Fandom] TitleArtist: Readername (reader)Album Artist: Authorname (author)Year: 2020Album: Chromatic Characters Podfic Anthology IComments: Text at: http://linkGenre: Podfic(Note: Capitalize reader and author names however they re displayed on AO3; same goes for titles and fandoms.)-To help make sure the volume across the anthology is consistent, we are providing a benchmark volume file to use for volume-matching. Please make sure that your own podfics are approximately matched to this volume. One way is to listen to the benchmark at a comfortable volume, then listen to your file, and if you don't find the transition jarring or feel a need to turn the volume up or down when the file switches, you're good! If you aren't sure how to adjust volume, in Audacity it's Amplify under the Effects menu, and in Garageband it's track volume (the blue line here). If you have more questions, feel free to ask in the comments! The benchmark volume file is here (right-click save to download; thanks to klb for letting us use the benchmark volume from ALPA). ALTERNATIVELY, you may use the volume normalization feature on auphonic, which levels audio at a consistent volume. You can create a free account which allows you to process up to 2 hours of audio per month. If you would prefer not to sign up for an account, you may contact a mod who can process your audio for you. Your mods for this event are blackglass and miss_marina95.

I love podficcing, and I have zero problems rambling into a microphone for an hour, but editing consistently takes 3-4x as long as the recording, and I find it the most tedious part of the process. Is this just How It Is, or is there something I'm missing that would streamline the process? I'm really curious how other people handle this. I would post so many more podfics if I could figure this out, or at least make peace with it. For the record, I am using Audacity, which is generally pretty intuitive. I have been recording podfics off and on for the past year.I still grind my teeth at getting the transition for music and sound effects right, but I'm mostly talking here about the routine work--clipping out clicks and pops, long gaps, and vocal stumbles--not anything fancy. I've definitely heard a lot of improvement in my work, but I'm in awe of how quickly I've seen other podficcers get their work from idea to finished product, and I know I have a lot more to learn!oldestcharmI apologise for asking here, but this is the most active comm I've found to date and I figured I'd get at least a couple of responses.So, I haven't recorded podfic for about 7 years and even though my first attempts back in the day were absolutely disastrous, they were still something I'm proud of and also, I can do so much better now.I'm not particularly up to date, though, so I'm wondering where should I look for podfic betas for longfics? I have a 130k Shadowhunters fic I fell in love with and am determined to finish especially since the author gave me an incredibly delightful response and I don't think I've ever seen such enthusiasm in my life.I am, however, still trying to figure out my new getup and while my makeshift mini-soundbooth sounds lovely, I don't exactly have the ear to figure out which mic/setting sounds the best. I desperately need someone to yell at me... and check the end results of all 18 chapters. Should I look for other podficcers (which still not sure where the right place to ask is??) or should I go for someone in the fandom? What do you lads do? Do I even need a beta for something this long or am I just being paranoid about my own abilities?kalakiryaTitle: Call Me MaybeAuthor: jo_lasalle | jo_lasalleReader: kalakiryaFandom: GuardianPairings: Shen Wei/Zhao YunlanRating: ExplicitSummary: A story in which Zhao Yunlan is good at paperwork, Shen Wei is an unreliable borrower of clothes, and the Black Cloaked Envoy needs better occupational health and safety provisions.content notes: an argument could be made for sex pollen, but the argument could also be made against it *makes weighing motion*Length: 1:0:59text at AO3 download or stream as an mp3 | download as a podbook (many thanks to paraka 3)cover by me!analise010Welcome to the fourth annual podfic love meme!

K. BrosterRating: MatureWarnings: No Archive Warnings ApplyRelationships: Ewen Cameron/Keith WindhamCharacters: Ewen Cameron, Keith Windham, Charles Edward Stuart (1720 – 1788), Archibald Cameron of LochielLength: 2 h 23 m 43 sAdditional Tags: Podfic, Podfic Length: 2-2.5 Hours, Post-Canon, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Hurt/Comfort, Romance, First Time, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Character Death FixSummary: It's August 1746, and the battered remnants of Bonnie Prince Charlie's army are leaving Scotland. One such refugee takes a friend, injured almost to the point of death, to France with him.Notes: Besides the main story, the podfic also includes the epilogue "Scarcely a Cloud in the Sky". There's evidence in the comments of this story that people have very much enjoyed it without reading the book, but obviously it's much better if you've read it, and besides, this will of course spoil you for the book. Thanks to Glinda for helping out with pronunciation of Gaelic and Scottish words and names!
