amplificathon

please figure your points and put the point value(s) on the post where you announce your recording(s). please present your points for fandom, relationship(s) or gen categories, bonus earnings, and length for each podfic. then, at the bottom of the entry, include the total points for all podfics in your post (for easier mod tracking). the numbers will be added up and posted throughout the challenge.

a) fandom points:
- giant fandoms - 1 point - any fandom with 250 or more podfics in the archive as of March 1, 2016
- represented fandoms - 5 points - any fandom with between 21 and 249 podfics in the archive as of March 1, 2016
- under-represented fandoms - 10 points - any fandom with 20 or fewer podfics in the archive as of March 1, 2016

b) relationship points (gen categories or any romantic groupings):
- giant relationships - 1 point - any relationship (or gen category) with 250 or more podfics in the archive as of March 1, 2016
- represented relationships - 5 points - any relationship (or gen category) with between 21 and 249 podfics in the archive as of March 1, 2016
- under-represented relationships - 10 points - any relationship (or gen category) with 20 or fewer podfics in the archive as of March 1, 2016

c) bonus points:
- non-english language bonus: 10 pts

a+b+c = subtotal
subtotal x length multiplier = total

length multiplier:
under 10 min: 1
10:01 - 20:00 -> 2
20:01 - 40:00 -> 3
40:01 - 1:10:00 -> 4
1:10:01 - 2:00:00 -> 5
2:00:01 - 2:50:00 -> 6
2:50:00 - 3:40:00 -> 7
3:40:01 - 4:30:00 -> 8
4:30:01 - 5:20:00 -> 9
5:20:01 - 6:10:00 -> 10
6:10:01 - 7:50:00 -> 20
7:50:01 - 9:30:00 -> 25
9:30:01 - 11:10:00 -> 30
11:10:01+ -> 40

how do i do this math?

examples:

a 8:00 check please! bitty/jack podfic gets 5 points for the fandom and 10 point for the pairing, multiplied by 1 for the length = (5+10)x1 = 15
a 39:59 lord of the rings / star trek: the original series crossover with aragorn/arwen gets 5 for the first fandom, 10 for the second fandom, 10 for the pairing, multiplied by 3 for the length = (5+10+10)x3 = 75
a 1:01:01 teen wolf, derek/stiles & allison/scott podfic gets 1 point for the fandom, 1 for the first relationship, 5 for the second relationship, multiplied by 4 for the length = (1+1+5)x4 = 28
a 15:00:00 merlin (bbc), gwen/morgana podfic gets 1 for the fandom and 5 for the pairing, multiplied by 40 for the length = (1+5)x40 = 240
a 24:05 star trek: voyager, seven of nine/b'elanna podfic gets 10 for the fandom and 10 for the pairing, multiplied by 3 for length = (10+10)x3 = 60
a 3:09 hockey players gen podfic in quebecois gets 1 for the fandom, 10 for the gen category, 10 for non-english and 1 for length = (1+10+10)x1 = 21
a 09:59 strawberry panic nagisa/shizuma & kaori/shizuma & hikari/amane podfic gets 10 for the fandom, 10 for the first pairing, 10 for the second pairing, 10 for the third pairing, and 1 for the length = (10+10+10+10)x1 = 40
a 13:49 discworld/harry potter/merlin gwen/arthur podfic in spanish gets 5 for the first fandom, 1 for the second fandom, 1 for the third fandom, 5 for the pairing and 10 for non-english, multiplied by 2 for the length = (5+1+1+5+10)x2 = 44
a 39:00 hundred thousand kingdoms yeine/nahadoth podfic gets 10 for the fandom and 10 for the pairing, multiplied by 3 for length = (10+10)x3 = 60
an 11:09 arrow/hawkeye/hunger games/lord of the rings/teen wolf/brave (archers convention!) gen podfic gets 10, 10, 10, 5, 1 and 10 points for the fandoms, plus 10, 10, 10, 5, 5 and 10 for gen, multiplied by 2 for length = (10+10+10+5+1+10+10+10+10+5+5+10)x2 = 192

yes, this privileges crossovers. we don't think that's a problem. the more, the merrier! we are trusting people to get the difference between a crossover and a fusion - none of the challenge mods are going to read/listen to everything to figure it out (but of course if you'd like the mods to help, please ask!). if a fusion involves major world-elements (for example,

trinityofone's dæmonology universe), you can count it like a crossover. if a story is only borrowing plot or minor elements from a second source, this would be considered an au, but not a crossover. when in doubt, guess. and ask your friends. and trust your own judgement :)

that said, if the podfic features a crossover and a pairing (see the second example), you can't claim points for the pairing under one fandom and gen for the other (read: you can't get "lotr: aragorn/arwen, st:tos : gen")

six degrees-type fandoms and rpf fandoms count separately from the fandom they are associated with.

characters with more than one name or multiple identities, such as tony stark and iron man (comics 'verse), only count once. different characters sharing a body (possibly due to teleportation shenanigans) might count twice. when in doubt, guess. ask your friends. and trust your judgement :)

Anything not appearing on these lists qualifies as under-represented, meaning that there were 20 or fewer podfics in the archive for that fandom, relationship, or gen category on March 1, 2016. This includes both categories with zero podfics and categories with 20 podfics, and everything in-between.

question about fandoms: I didn't see a video game category. More to the point I was looking to find Dragon Age: Inquisition (or just dragon age) in the 5 point category and couldn't find it. I, myself, have recorded over 20 DA:I podfics so it should be there? am I missing something?

podmod

good catch! looks like in the copy-paste over dragon age: inquisition got lost. it's on the list now! -kalakirya

Question for how to count a fandom:

I have a fic tagged DCAU - do I count 5 points for Batman or can I count 10 points for DCAU?

Hello! I'm very sorry, I didn't see this comment until just now. 10 points is correct because the animated Batman is an underrepresented fandom, it looks like.

-idellaphod

Hey, it's no problem. :D I bothered some other mods on twitter so I didn't have to wait to post. Thanks for responding anyway!

Hi :)
was going through the pairings list (the represented pairings, to be exact) and realized that while they're all in alphabetical order, Patrick Kane/Jonathan Toews somehow slipped into the 'e's... which was sorta confusing at first.

I know it's nothing major, but for somebody only giving a cursory glance it might not be so great...
