AUTHORS! Ever wanted to write a fic made for group recording?

[bessyboo]

Fic writing friends! Want a chance to have your fic recorded by a group of podficcers in the same room? We would love for you to write us something!

We are accepting stories/scripts of 5,000 words or less that have been written specifically to be performed by a group of people in the same physical location. There are all sorts of things that are much easier when podficcers are all in the same space, like super fast back-and-forth exchanges, interruptions, people yelling over each other, people moving closer to or away from the microphone—the sky is the limit, really! Think of it sort of like pod_together, but with an added twist.

There are no restrictions on fandom, pairings, ratings, etc., and while we will endeavor to make sure every finished story that is submitted gets recorded, we make no guarantees or promises. We’ll still have to find performers who are interested in recording each fic; popular fandoms/pairings/etc. will be much more likely to get recorded, simply because it will be easier to find people interested in participating in them.

To submit a fic, email a copy of the text or send a gdoc to podfication [at] gmail [dot] com by October 14, 2016 @ 11:59PM CDT. Please be sure to include your AO3 name somewhere at the beginning of the text/gdoc.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask in the comments of this post, on twitter (@podfication), or to the above email.

Happy writing!

Live Performances Sign-Ups!

[revolutionaryjo]

We posted a Twitter poll about this a while back and overwhelmingly people seemed interested, so we're doing a live performance event! \o/

We've set aside a three hour chunk of time Sunday afternoon for this, which should allow for 11-12 performances. Hopefully y'all sign up and we don't end up sitting around staring at each other awkwardly that whole time.

Sign-ups will remain open through October 14th, 2016 at 11:59pm CDT. Or, you know, when I wake up the next day.

Some ground rules to make sure we can fit in everybody who wants to read:

• Performances can't run any longer than 15 minutes.


• 1 sign-up per individual.


• In addition to a solo performance, you can participate in up to 2 multi-voice performances.

SIGN UP RIGHT HERE

While this is mostly an event that's performance for performance's sake, we are planning to record it if technology allows! After the con, we'll post a copy of the recording for everyone's enjoyment. There is an opt out if you'd rather not have your performance included and/or if you don't have author permission.

Any questions, just let us know! Drop us a comment, tweet (@podfication), or email us (podfication at gmail).

Update: You can do something new, something you've recorded before, an excerpt from a longer work (give us a heads up on that please), or whatever you like so long as it abides by the rules above!
