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!

I am willing to read and have things of mien read. I am not restricting what gets read, as I don't really care, though let me know and I can read over it again and see if I can't straighten some wording out for you on certain things.

[bookblather]

May I please read this one?

[shipwreck_light]

My stuff is up! I mean- if I wrote it and it's prose, you can read it.

Exceptions and Notes
-"Flower, Fruit and Thorn Pieces" is out if only because I'm making a recording of it. I just forgot that three hours of audio took a lot longer then three hours to neaten up. Also, it will hurt your tongue. Trust me.
-I would prefer a choice besides "A Little Bit Dangerous" because "Bianca". I ah... actually have a voice I do for her *cough*.
-I may ask to play anything with a lot of Roa or Seb for my Mum. Who reads my stuff. Because that's normal, I swear.

I would quite like to do a section or two or three (or more) of "Contes Barbares", if you don't mind.

[bookblather]

Hello! May I please read my favorite piece of yours ever?

[bookblather]

For yoooooooou: it's posted!

[shadowsong26]

I'm all for this. The only things I'd request people not do are the three I've already recorded myself (What Kirana Sees, Loose Thread, and Unsafe). Anything else you're willing to tackle, have at. Let me know if there's something you want to do so I can check for missed words and such.

[bookblather]

May I pretty please read Daisy Petals?

[subluxate]

Anything of mine is up for grabs except:

- "The Great Gods and the Origins" because reasons
- Any other cowritten thing
- "Expecting Inquisitors" because I've done it

Just let me know before you start to record so that I can reread and smooth out any wording issues that might trip you up.

[shipwreck_light]

I would like to read a scene from David Babysitting if that is acceptable. Which scene, not sure yet, but I'm thinking one that involves pleas for pants-having.

[sarcasticsra]

Podfic!

[bookblather]

Okay I have a few I would like to try.

Meeting of the Minds.

Prayer.

Litany.

Sparks Across My Skin.

Preferences/objections?

[shadowsong26]

I would like to read Psilocybin, if that's okay.

[bookblather]

I'm okay with anything of mine being read, with the sole caveat that if it's a collage/mosaic or a cowritten piece, you ask the other author/original owner of the characters too.

[shipwreck_light]

Could I read "Past in Present"? Maybe play some Jens Gad in the background if my converter decides to work?

[blossomdreams]

All my pieces are up for recording. Let me know which piece you're interested in doing so I can make sure that there's no words I missed.

[bookblather]

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

[leia_solo]

I'm up for it, not including the three I've done myself. Just run it past me so I can check for wording mistakes (Because lord knows I make them) and pronunciations and what not.

[bookblather]

Hello! I would like to read this one maybe?

[serpentine]

I'm pretty much okay for any of my pieces to be recorded as long as you let me know first so I can go over it first in case I messed up the flow of the wording somewhere.

[bookblather]

I would like to read this, please!

[justice_turtle]

Anything I've posted here is eligible for recording. I'm not requesting that you let me know in advance, because I seldom have the energy to go over old stories and tweak them, anyway. ;P

[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?

[clare_dragonfly]

I am totally up for having anything recorded, with the exception of anything non-canon--that is, the "Eraser" stuff.

[shipwreck_light]

May I read "Terrible Children"?

[isana]

My stuff is up too, so long as you just let me know the piece so I can work out some of the kinks! XD

[shipwreck_light]

Is "Clear Autumn Moon" available :D?

[sarcasticsra]

Anything of mine is up for grabs, except for "Two Parts" and "More Like a Goldfish" because I have plans to do those ones myself.

Otherwise, go wild. Oh, and advance permission should you need to chop off any unnecessary dialogue tags (I understand in podficcing, if you've read a particular sentence a certain way, the tag can be redundant and slow it down.)

[subluxate]

I'd quite like to do "Contents Under Pressure", if that's all right.

[ambersweet]

Anything of mine is up for grabs. Let me know if you need wording/pronunciation help.

[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.

[auguris]

Any work of mine on RBF is available for podficcing, if you so desire.

[bookblather]

thiiiiiiis

I mean. May I?

[finch]

Late to the party, but if anybody wants to do anything of mine, you can go for it.

[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.

[thelinesoflearning]

I'm terrifically late to the party, but as I'm about to start going through things and asking permission, I may as well. Anything I've posted is open.

[rainbowmods]

Have fun!
