August Challenge 2024

[podfic_bingo_mod]

The theme challenge for this month is ’competition’' (Please include the tag challenge:competition when you post.)

Theme challenges have to do with fic choice. Since this month's challenge is ‘competition’ your story has to be related to that theme one way or another.

The shape challenge is ‘triangle' (tag challenge: triangle ). This should be at minimum 3 squares, ie:

OOOOO
OOXOO
OOOOO
XOOOX
OOOOO

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 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.

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.

If you complete a challenge, you earn a cheat. If none of the challenges appeal to you, you can also earn cheats by commenting on other people's podfics.

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.

Question! Does this have to be an isosceles triangle, or can it be any triangle shape so long as I could write a proof for it with geometry?

[podfic_bingo_mod]

Sorry for the late reply! This question made me laugh, so yes, if you can prove with geometry that you've made a triangle, we'll accept it XD

For the theme challenge I recorded Of Blades and Horses and the Silence In-Between [Podfic], a friendly competition between May Chang and Lan Fan.

Nice! Well done :D

I recorded Sprint for the theme challenge. It's about a bike race.

I just saw horchata's comment on this post and am now wondering if the shape challenge is more flexible than the shown squares. For example, can I keep the relative distances between the 3 squares, but move them or flip them? In that case I would have completed that as well. Let me catch up on posting to the comm :D

Apologies for the late response, wildriede! Yes, you can be flexible with your triangle placement. Good job on claiming the shape :D
