Round 2 Brainstorming

[paraka]

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I've been quiet here. :S It's awesome to see how many of you posted your cards at the end of last year/start of this year! It's not too late! If you want to show off your card, you can do so till the end of January!

I'm going to be working on getting some prizes for people together. :)

I'll also be opening up sign ups for round 2 soon. But before that, I thought I'd start another brainstorming post. The list of prompts used for the 2011 round is here, if you'd like to see any changes made to that list, now is the time to say so! You can either suggest an addition or suggest that something be removed.

I'd also like to put out a request for a co-mod of this comm. I feel like there should be more encouraging throughout the year to help people get their lines done but would need some help with that. So if you're enthusiastic and would like to see more podfic, let me know :)

So excited for this! I don't have any additions to the brainstorm, but I wanted to mention that the link to the brainstorm post doesn't work (I found it via !modpost). Do you have a sense of how much time would be involved in co-modding? I don't know how much time I'd have to help out, but I really appreciate all the work that you're doing for the podfic community!

Thanks for the heads up on the broken link. Not only did the link not work, if it had worked, it would have put you through to an unrelated podficmeta post. /o\ C&P fail.

As for mod stuff, there's generally a flurry of activity in January while everyone gets setup with cards (although I worked out a pretty good method last year so unless we get, like 200 people signing up, I don't imagine it would take me more than an hour or two to do on my own this time round) and then I kind of left things on their own for the rest of the year, till I introduced the cheats in December.

I'm hoping to keep the comm a little more engaged this year? I haven't quite figured out how yet (I'm open to suggestions), but maybe something like monthly check in posts? If you're interested let me know and we can maybe brainstorm a bit. :)

That sounds like fun -- and I always love nudging people to make more things that I love so I can listen to them. I'd say that I'd be game to help out, although if someone else shows up and is super excited and \o/ about co-modding, then definitely that would be a better person than me with my wacky schedule, but otherwise, I'm yours!

[paraka]

Cool! I'll add you as a mod then! :) I'm going to post sign ups soon, but we can take some time to discuss modding details later, if that's ok?

Yay - sounds good!

i didn't really like abridged. It just seemed weird to attempt without having a personal relationship with the authors.
