Podficathon

[rainbowmods]

sharpeningthebones had a great idea for a podficathon. A podfic is when you take a fic and record yourself reading it. For this particular podficathon, readers will record others' fics. This counts as Performing Art and Collage, and you'll get a Novelty Bead for each piece recorded. Readers may only record pieces for which they have permission.

Edit: It also counts as Graffiti, since it's a Lounge-based challenge that is not an art movement. Apologies for forgetting that before!

The best site for hosting your podfic Box, which will allow you to embed the file, as well as let others download it if they prefer. In order to embed, you'll need to click the "Embed Media" button on the post page. You could also post it to YouTube, SoundCloud, or Vocaroo (which does not provide permanent storage). If you want to just post a download link, SendSpace and MediaFire are good bets. There is no limit on how many you may record, and there is no deadline.

Authors, if you're interested in having your fic recorded, leave a comment and a list of fics you do or do not want read aloud. Readers, if you want to record something not listed, ask the author first. Once you've recorded it and posted to rainbowfic, leave a link here, and you'll get your Novelty Bead.

We're really looking forward to seeing what you do. Have fun!

The answer is yes.

[bookblather]

HURRAY

I may only read pieces of it because it is long. But I will do my best!

[shipwreck_light]

Totally, totally understand! I am deeply flattered you would even try.

*didn't make a trainwreck out of recording her own stuff with "Flower, Fruit and Thorn Pieces"... really! XD*

[bookblather]

Okay I have a few I would like to try.

Meeting of the Minds.

I have feels about this piece. May I record it? (And how do you pronounce Tsukino's name?)

[bookblather]

Hello! I would like to read this one maybe?

[bookblather]

I would like to read this, please!

[bookblather]

I have a few pieces that I have feels about. May I read any and all of the following?

This and this and this and this?

[bookblather]

I don't think this is eraser? May I read it?

[bookblather]

May I read either one of these two? This or this? And I would appreciate it if you would record pronunciations. I would like to get it right.

[bookblather]

I would love to read this, if I could? Although if you could give me a pronunciation guide so I can get everything right, I would appreciate it.

[bookblather]

thiiiiiiis

I mean. May I?

[bookblather]

May I please read this? And how do you pronounce Liu? I have an idea but I don't want to mess it up.

[subluxate]

Any and all are fine by me! I'm interested to hear what you do.

[finch]

By all means. http://hearnames.com/?option=com_mtree&task=viewlink&link_id=111&Itemid=4 is a pretty decent pronunciation. :)

[justice_turtle]

BUBBLES *koff* I mean, go for it! Any or all of them, yup. :D

[justice_turtle]

I had to go back through my e-mail archives to find it (bad me, not bookmarking properly), but may I podfic this piece? And would you please record pronunciations for it, if so? :-)

[justice_turtle]

May I record this?

[justice_turtle]

May I do Lucille's Lemonade, please? :-)

[sarcasticsra]

Of course!

[leia_solo]

Go for it!

[blossomdreams]

Sure thing! :)

Tsukino's name is pronounced Tsu: Tsoo, Ki: sounds like Key and No: which sounds like no

Tsoo key no

I hope that helps! Here's a handy guide with audio guides too.
