Amplirecathon 2011 Info Post

Welcome to the Amplirecathon, a podfic recs fest! All podfic enthusiasts are welcome and encouraged to sign up.



SIGNUP

SUMMARY LIST


Here's how it works:

This festival will last 2 weeks, beginning March 14 and ending March 28! Each day, we'll have one or more people post podfic recs to the amplificathon/amplificathon communities.

Your rec post can be for one podfic, or for a group of podfics you've chosen to fit a theme (or, what the hell, you could rec a reader if you wanted, but you might want to call out a best example of their work) to be posted on the date you claimed during sign up. You can choose as many or as few days as you like, but we do ask that you don't claim 'em if you aren't going to use 'em.

We'd really love to hear what makes this podfic special, or your review of the recording, or your reaction, or the reason the reading resonates with you personally. But you don't have to write an essay if that's not how you roll, so don't let that hold you back. Our goal is to point out the awesome, and to highlight things we think other people might want to hear. Qualified recs are awesome, but they should still be things you are recommending. :)

We'll post the sign-up post on Monday, so think ahead about which prompt (from the list below, or make up your own, or, you can go prompt-free) and dates you'd like to claim!

Prompts:
This is incomplete list for your inspiration. Be creative! Be unusual! We're hoping for recs that introduce other podfic fans to new fics/fandoms/readers.

Oooh! *marks date on calender* (And March 14th is White Day here in Japan -- on Valentine's Day women give men chocolate, on White Day men give return gifts to women. So it has that connotation of giving something in return for a gift.)

Oh, what a lovely analogy! It's like the third level of gift giving isn't it? The fic, the reader, the reccer! Hope you can participate.... Or at least enjoy :)
