Projects must be posted to AO3 by Check-in #3, on Sunday August 11th. If the written component is already completed, feel free to post the text to AO3 sooner!

Post your work in the Pod Together 2024 Collection, either by following this link, or by listing Pod_Together2024 in the “Post to Collections/Challenges” field.

Be sure to hit "Post" when done; the challenge is set to unrevealed, so the project will show as a "Mystery Work" to anyone but the co-creators and mods. If you save the project as a draft, the mods will not be able to view it to confirm it meets word count and/or that the podfic links are working, and the project will automatically delete itself after a month.

You may post the text and podfic together in a single post or in two separate posts.

If you decide to have a single post for both the text and podfic, make sure to add all your group members as co-creators, so all creators have editing access and credit for their work!

If you decide to have the text and podfic in separate posts, the post for each part should link to the other part prominently at the top of the post, with an explanation that the two parts were created as a collaboration. This means that the text post will link to the podfic post prominently at the top, and vice versa. This should be more than using AO3's "inspired by" function to connect the two posts (although you're welcome to do that as well!). The link and explanation can be either in the body of the post or in a note at the beginning.

PODFIC-SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

If the two parts of the project are in a single post, the completed podfic should be included at the top of the post. If the podfic and text are separate chapters, the podfic chapter should come first.

If the two parts of the project are in separate posts, see above for how to link the two posts to each other.

If you'd like additional support with how to post a podfic to AO3, this text guide or this video guide helpful.

Your podfic must be available for listening in both streaming and mp3 download formats. A streaming player directly on the AO3 post is highly recommended, but not required. If you need some help with hosting options or with streaming, you can check out this post or ask for support on the Pod_Together Discord! The mods are also happy to host your audio for you at parakaproductions.com. If you'd like us to do that, just email us your audio file and let us know you'd like to use our hosting, and we'll send you back a link to the hosted audio!

Hey all, today is the podfic deadline, as well as the deadline for projects to be posted to AO3! As long as your project is submitted while it's still August 20th anywhere in the world, you're on time!

If you don’t think you’ll be able to finish in time, read over the rules and request an extension. Please email us today if you need an extension instead of waiting until tomorrow.

Here is a checklist of everything you need when turning your project in!

If the text and podfic are in a single post:

Create an AO3 post with every group member added as a co-author

Include a download link for the podfic at the TOP of the post

Include a streaming link for the podfic (either embedded streaming, or a link to where people can click to stream the podfic)

Publish the post to the pod_together 2023 collection (don't just save it as a draft)

Contact the mods to let us know you're finished!

If the text and podfic are in separate posts:

Create an AO3 post for the text that links to the podfic at the TOP of the post. (If you've already made the AO3 post for the text, make sure to go back and edit it to link to the podfic!)

Create an AO3 post for the podfic that links to the text at the TOP of the post

In the podfic post, include a download link for the podfic

In the podfic post, include a streaming link for the podfic (either embedded streaming, or a link to where people can click to stream the podfic)

Publish both posts to the pod_together 2023 collection (don't just save them as a drafts)

Contact the mods to let us know you're finished!

Final stretch! Good luck to all, and don't forget to give your partner(s) some appreciation once everything's all done!

Best,
Mods
