Before signing up, please take a moment to review the Rules and FAQ posts.

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. All sign-ups close Saturday June 13th.

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 consider this question carefully and make sure you’re ready to commit to the level of interaction you specify.

Please fill out the following information:

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 choose either, we will assign you to one group as either a writer or a podficcer—feel free to note if you have a preference!)
Email Address: (if you would prefer to not share your email address publicly, you may send an email to pod.together@gmail.com and note in your sign-up that you have done so. Please include your AO3 username in this email so we know who you are.)
Fandoms: (please list as many as you're willing to work with. If you are picky about pairings [or lack thereof] please indicate that here and the mods will try to take that into consideration. If you're open to learning a new fandom (movie length or shorter) specifically for this challenge, tell us that, too!)
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, podvid, 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)
What are your preferred online communication methods? (For example: email, Discord, Twitter, Tumblr, Google Doc, video chat, voice chat)?
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. You are welcome to include a range, but make sure you are truly comfortable with everything in that range, and that if you include 5 you are able to commit to near-daily contact!)
Additional Comments: (if you have any preferences or notes to mods let us know here.)
