Programming Brainstorming Post

[revolutionaryjo]

Hey everybody! We're pretty excited about how many of you have registered so far and hope you're excited about coming to Podfication too.

Now that we know there will be actual people in attendance, we thought we'd get a post up to brainstorm the sort of activities/programming we'll be running over the course of the weekend. Drop us some comments!

Here are some things we're definitely planning:

• Unofficial Friday Night Dinner Officially we don't get started until Saturday morning, but unofficially we know a lot of you will be in town before that.


• Saturday Night Option Organized outing to a local club (for the dancing inclined!) or a quieter evening of board games and chatting.


• Call for Fics Call out to authors who would like to write something under 5k that is intended to be read out loud by multiple people in the same room. More details on this as we hash it out, but larger/well-known fandoms preferred and no guarantee that the story will end up getting recorded, of course.

We'll have a semi-formal process to submit panels and some sort of voting system for them closer to October, but feel free to use this thread to drum up some interest or find potential co-panelists in the meantime. :)

Live notfic podfic reading party/event! We could have people in groups of 2 or three by fandom and then have 15 min or a half hour or whatever to do an oral notfic! I super love listening when other people have done these, and they're also definitely fun to be part of the plotting/creation. Maybe this is more of a room-party kind of thing people would self organize to do individually, but if there's interest from others having folks do so with an audience might be fun to. Or have even larger notfic-podficcing groups?

I'm kind of assuming doing some large, live podfic performance/recordings is likely as well, but since it isn't on the definite plan list I'm mentioning it, even though it's probably implied in the whole event. (and obviously self-selected smaller podfic recordings happening all the time, every time, I'm so so excited for this, *flails*)

Will have to think further about panels but super excited to see what other people are thinking about offering :)

And yeah, live performance/recordings are DEFINITELY happening :)
