March Challenge!

[podfic_bingo_mod]

This month we have two challenges for you: The theme challenge 'Food' (Please include the tag challenge: food when you post.) and the shape challenge ‘3 squares in a row (3 squares)' (tag challenge: 3 in a row). You can pick the challenge you prefer or do both if you're feeling ambitious. Once you’ve posted the podfic required to fulfill the monthly challenge, please comment here to let us know you’ve completed the challenge.

Theme Challenges:
Theme challenges have to do with fic choice. Since this month's challenge is 'Food' your story has to be related to that theme one way or another. If you complete 1 theme challenge you’ll get a cheat.

Shape Challenges:
Shape challenges require that you complete a specific shape of squares on your card. If you complete a shape challenge by the deadline, you’ll win a cheat. If your card already has the shape formation that fits the monthly challenge before the challenge starts, you can only count that challenge as completed if you fill at least one square on your card within the challenge time period. So if you already have a diagonal before the challenge starts, you don’t have to get a whole new set of 3 squares in the shape of a diagonal. You do however have to complete at least one square this month for it to count.

What are Cheats?
Cheats are rewards that allow participants to manipulate their cards so that they can be finished more easily.
There are 2 kinds of cheats: shifting squares and swapping out squares.
Shifting squares allows participants to swap locations of two squares on their card.
Swapping out cheats allow you to discard one of your prompts entirely from your card and replace it with a prompt of your choosing from the Prompt List.

Hi hopefully I haven't messed anything up with the post, and I think I can claim to have completed the 'food' challenge.

Have You Tried Turning it Off features apples (and other foods), and I also recorded part of it while eating an apple as a character was doing just that. My first home made sound effect! Does that count?

And along with the above podfic, Confession completes the Three in a row challenge. I tagged them both with the challenge, I hope that's correct.

My card is here for reference!

Awesome! Sorry for the late reply! (your mod is drowning in RL :D). You have totally earned two cheats! \o/

[caveat_lector]

Thank you! I don't think a day is late, but you have my sympathies, I've just escaped from an insane February :)

[fire_juggler]

LOL. Has it really just been a day? Life has been sliding around all over the place lately, so when I say down top do fannish stuff, I was like "LATE! I MUST BE SO BEHIND!"

So, I'm INCREDIBLY bad at DW, so I'm sorry if I messed anything up. This is my first time participating in Podfic Bingo so I'm still not 100% on how to do things on top of my being terrible at DW. Please let me know if I need to fix anything.

As far as I know I've completed both the three squares in a row and the food challenge. New York Cool features a scene where they are roasting and eating marshmallows, which technically count as food. I also completed the three squares in a row challenge with read quickly, try an accent, and read while laughing. I didn't tag things, am I supposed to tag them or are you? Sorry for not having a clue how things go!

Hi there!

No need to apologize at all. This is a very low-key comm. You did perfectly! First off, well done on the shape challenge. You have earned a cheat!

Your post looks great. I've gone ahead and tagged it for you. You can tag them if you like. If we (the mods) notice that they aren't tagged, we'll go ahead and tag them for you. Most people do fandom, podficcer, and square tags. But don't stress it. No one here is going to yell at you for your post, or for interpreting a square or challenge in an unusual way. :D

I'm looking forward to listening to your podfics! <3

Thanks so much! I'm already having a lot of fun with the bingo challenges.
