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!

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.

Please take my furious blushing as an enthusiastic, deafening yes.

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

[shipwreck_light]

CAN YOU MAKE ME BLUSH INTO A COMA?

The answer is yes.

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*
