Community description:A collaboration challenge for authors and podficcers


Welcome to [community profile] pod_together! A challenge where authors and readers will work in as a partnership, the author writing a story specifically to be podficced, and the reader recording it. At the end of the challenge, the text version and the audio version will be posted simultaneously.

Why are we doing this?

Reason One: A lot of podfic meta talks about the connection between podfic acting and TV or movie acting. But there haven't been many stories written specifically for podfic before. This challenge will give us a chance to take that analogy a step further, and also dispel some of the sense that podfic is nothing but a format shift for stories intended to be read on paper.

Reason Two: We think it will be a fun and interesting challenge for authors to write something specifically meant to be performed. For podficcers, the interesting challenge will be figuring out how to adapt to this format and bring the story to life.

Please read our FAQ/Rules post for more information.
