2019 Match Maker Sign-ups
May. 26th, 2019 03:19 pmSign-ups Now Closed
Before signing up, please take a moment to review the Rules/FAQ post
Sign ups close Saturday June 8th. The timeline of the entire challenge can be found here.
There are 2 kinds of sign ups; this is for those looking to be matched up into a partnership or group. If you already have a complete group, please sign up for the group sign ups.
One of the questions below asks “How much interaction would you ideally like with your partner, on a scale from 1 to 5?” where 1 is minimal interaction and 5 is frequent contact. Here are some examples of what that interaction might look like:
1 - initial discussions of favorite fandoms and tropes, but only sharing status reports/drafts and final products after that point, mostly at check-ins.
3 - discussions of fandoms and tropes, discussion of any particular method to optimize the text for audio, suggestions and feedback given as a beta reader/listener. Communicating a couple of times a week.
5 - highly collaborative throughout the entire process, with the podficcer(s) providing input on story ideas or making suggestions of what should happen next, with the writer(s) giving input on the direction or mood of the performance, and with both giving lots of encouragement and feedback. Communicating almost daily.
Please fill out the following information:
DW/twitter/tumblr Names: (as many as apply)
AO3 Username: (please indicate if one is needed, and we’ll hook you up with an invite)
Writer/Podficcer/Both/Either: (If you choose both, we will assign you to two groups, one as a writer, one as a podficcer. If you chose either, we will assign you to one group as either a writer or a podficcer.)
Email Address:
Fandoms: (please list as many as you're willing to work with, if you are picky about pairings [or lack there of] please indicate so here and the mods will try to take that into consideration)
Are you willing to be assigned to more than one group?
Are you ok with having more than one writer/podficcer in the group? (please specify which one, or both)
Are you interested in less-traditional-to-podfic formats? (for example: filk, poetry, script and/or radio play format, meta. Feel free to specify which ones if you want.)
Would you like the mods to email you important updates when they are posted to the comm? (For example: check-in posts, icebreaker week activities, posting instructions)
How much interaction would you ideally like with your partner, on a scale from 1 to 5? (1 being minimal interaction and 5 being frequent contact—see above for examples)
Additional Comments: (if you have any preferences or notes to mods let us know here.)

I don't mind familiarizing myself with short fandoms/refamiliarizing with ones I know but haven't seen in some time. There's also a handful of fandoms I'm not as familiar with as far as writing but that I'd be willing to try that I didn't list, so feel free to ask.
Are you willing to be assigned to more than one group? Sure.
Are you ok with having more than one writer/podficcer in the group? I'd be willing to give it a shot.
Are you interested in less-traditional-to-podfic formats? I'm not very familiar with forms outside of prose and would prefer to stick to it, but I can work with script/poetry.
Would you like the mods to email you important updates when they are posted to the comm? Yes
How much interaction would you ideally like with your partner, on a scale from 1 to 5? 3 or 4
Additional Comments: this is my first time taking part in an event like this, so I'm quite new to how they work. I'm also not super familiar with podfics in general. I won't write NSFW (nor will I do RPF) and would prefer to write for gen/no ships for all fandoms, but I can be flexible with most ships if need be.
