A due South podfic exchange?

[luzula]

Would anyone be interested in a due South podfic exchange? I was thinking something along the lines of matching people up on pairings/characters (like, people would list all pairings/characters they'd be interested in receiving podfic about, and all the pairings/characters they could record about) and then people would record a gift podfic for someone else. Maybe with a 5000 word minimum or so?

There's a lot going on right now, but maybe in the beginning of next year or so? Just gauging interest for now...please weigh in if you have ideas or opinions. : )

Me me me! I'm interested! :)

[luzula]

Yay! I was hoping you'd be interested. : )

I'd be more likely to join with a lower minimum. 5k is really more energy than I've got most of the time these days. (I did 7k for pod_together and I'm so, so glad, but even splitting it into two recording sessions created some pretty profound fatigue!)

[luzula]

We can definitely lower the minimum! That was one of the things I wanted feedback on.

[malnpudl]

Can I say probably? Because I can no longer record on my computer, the way I used to, I'm saving up for a hand-held voice recorder. Assuming I can pull that together and get comfortable and proficient with it, I'd like to participate.

[luzula]

Oh, that sucks that your computer is still noisy. /o\ Well, it won't be until January, so hopefully you'll be able to record by then.

[mergatrude]

I would like to, but I don't know if I can make 5K and I would need a reasonable amount of time to make my recording.

[luzula]

Those are good points! We could definitely lower the minimum, maybe to one or two thousand words. And yes, I wouldn't want it to be stressful. : )

I was going to say "Now is sooooo not a good time!" because, yeah, everything seems to be happening right now and I think we're getting podficcer burn out, but January would be a good time. It'll overlap the end of Podbang, and the start of podficbigbang (if it runs again) and podfic_bingo (but that's year 'round, so everything overlaps it. And theatripod I guess. But I don't think a dS exchange would conflict too much with any of those projects.

And how much do I love that there are so many overlapping podfic comms running at once? I mean, I hate that I can't participate in all of them (though I try sometimes when I shouldn't :S), but there are so many options these days!

And podfic fandom definitely needs more fandom-specific challenges. :D

[luzula]

Yeah, there's so much going on right now! And yeah, I was thinking January, too. I finally decided not to do Podbang, and it felt like a relief. But it's also cool that podfic fandom is so big now that not everyone needs to participate in everything.

And yes, I thought it might be fun to run a fandom-specific podfic challenge. : ) There was a Generation Kill podfic challenge this summer, and it was cool to see how it pulled new people into podfic who were already in GK fandom.

Count me in on this! \o/

[luzula]

Yay! \o/

[kalakirya]

yesyesyes!

[luzula]

Yay, glad you're interested! : )

[podfic_lover]

I would happily join in the fun! :)

[luzula]

I thought you might be interested! : )

[mific]

Yes I'd be keen, in January. :)

[luzula]

Cool! That's good to know. : )

[izzady]

So I'm a little late to the party on this, and I'm not sure if I'll have time or not in January, but if I do, I would be totally in.

[luzula]

Cool! I'm thinking it would start in January, but the due date wouldn't be until some time in February or March. So hopefully there would be enough time.

[bghost.livejournal.com]

I would love to learn how record podfic, and I suppose I could figure it out for sometime next year! If so, I'm definitely in.

[luzula]

Cool! That would be awesome if the challenge prompted new people to try podfic. \o/

[ride-4ever.livejournal.com]

I've never done a podfic, but it's an awesome thing (particularly yours...you KNOW where you are on my "most-favored readers" list)...so I don't know where I'm at as far as MAKING podfic right now, but I sure do fervently support its BEING made.

[luzula]

Listeners are important, too! : )

[crinklysolution.livejournal.com]

I'd be willing!

[luzula]

Cool! I was hoping you'd be interested. : )
