amplificathon

aka everyone's favorite annual podfic gift exchange run entirely over twitter with no limits, no rules okay there were a few rules this year, and mostly just squee

Well kids, it's been a year. Our little challenge is All Grown Up! (Though not without some growing pains!) We added Dear Podficcer letters and treats, we had a much bigger sign-up list, and paraka did NOT try to pinch-hit her own gift, but DID get excited about her gift from me...which was NOT actually from me and was, in fact, from reena_jenkins. (It’s a lot less complicated than it sounds, but where’s the fun explaining the joke? WE LOVE YOU LINDSAY)

BUT DESPITE THE ROUGH PATCHES, WE ALL GOT THROUGH IT! And amazingly enough, with only one pinch-hitter! (We <3 you analise010 YOU ROCK!)

So enough of this chit-chat, I know why you're all really here--THE AWESOME AMOUNTS OF GREAT NEW PODFIC \o/ Let's get to it.

(NOTE: all download links are currently direct download links from the Archive. I’ll be going through and making pages for everything and swapping the direct links out for links to their respective archive pages, but THERE ARE A LOT OF PODFICS HERE, so bear with me and be patient <3)

( LOOK AT ALL OF THE SHINY THAT THE TWITTER PODFIC COMMUNITY PRODUCED )

( OMG I can haz bonus treats?! )

THAT'S IT YOU GUYS! We're going to make even more changes for next time based on this year's experience, so if you have any feedback, let us know in the comments! SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!

The idea for this exchange evolved over a Twitter conversation involving several podficcers. When the dust had settled, the rules were thus:

1) Everything would be done via Twitter, from sign-ups to gift distribution
2) No minimum podfic or word length (hence, the “informal”)
3) What happens in the exchange stays in the exchange.

Pretty simple really. That was the point. (The moderators would like to thank all of the participants for helping to keep it that way too. Everyone responded to check-ins, no one was late, and we needed no pinch-hits. Even if paraka did volunteer, if unknowingly, to pinch-hit her own gift.)

Without further ado, onto the masterlist of LOVELY PODFIC GIFTS!

( Click for gifts! )

As people come home from vacation and post their podfics to their journals, we'll edit in reader post links instead of the direct download links. If we're missing any, drop us a comment and we'll fix it!

That's it! If anyone has any feedback, or thoughts, or really anything at all to say (ideas for next year? MAYBE?), let us know in the comments!
