Hi Amplificathon!

hey all! the very lovely

hangebokhan has stepped up to offer prizes for our top two amplificathon 2013 winners!

the details:
I am willing to add a material prize of a postcard and special sticker (I have two stickers I received from someone that are of Kiomizudera, the most famous shrine in Japan) sent from Japan for the top two.

AND!

hangebokhan is also offering an amplificathon bounty!! check it out:
I would also like to place a 'bounty' of a postcard, sent from Japan for any fic over 10 minutes in length of the Clex variety. 45 minutes + gets to choose something in addition to the postcard. Every hour over that another item. Only restriction is that it has to be able mailed in an envelope.

if you're interested in offering prizes for amplificathon, give your mods a holler! we'd love to help you make it happen. <3

Hello Amplificathon!

Sorry this is a couple of days late--your points mod had an attack of life and death of technology, so I hope you can forgive me.

We've got some folks really racking up the points, but there are still a lot of you in the game! Keep posting!

As always, if our count doesn't match yours, please PM a mod so we can fix it before the next update!

<3,

Hello Amplificathoners!

This is your friendly pinch-hitting copy-pasting points-tracking podmod,

general_jinjur, with your second points update for the Amplificathon 2013 Challenge \o/!

We're nine days in and things are starting to heat up! Please do double-check the table and PM a mod if our totals for you don't match yours. If you posted podfic to the community since March 15th but didn't put a points tally in the body of your post, I didn't count you in this update. However, it's certainly not too late to jump in if you'd still like to play--just PM a mod with a link to your post if you do go back and add a tally to it, or just start adding points on any future posts you make to the comm during the challenge!

(ps the cutoff point for tallying was very early today, so if you posted today, it may be reflected in the next tally.)

( points and standings 24 march )

Hello Amplificathoners!

This is your friendly points-tracking podmod,

were_duck, with your first points update for the Amplificathon 2013 Challenge \o/!

If you missed the amplificathon challenge announcement, here is a link to the amplificathon 2013 FAQ! You don't have to sign up officially to play--just make a podfic, calculate your points and include your points tally for the post at the bottom before posting to the community!

The 'thon has only been on for a few days but we've already got several participants making a strong showing for themselves in the challenge so far. Please do double-check the table and PM a mod if our totals for you don't match yours. If you posted podfic to the community since March 15th but didn't put a points tally in the body of your post, I didn't count you in this update. However, it's certainly not too late to jump in if you'd still like to play--just PM a mod with a link to your post if you do go back and add a tally to it, or just start adding points on any future posts you make to the comm during the challenge!

whoa dudes amplificathon starts 15 march! ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. hold onto your hats, the fun is about to begin!

please remember to review this year's point system, and keep in mind that this year, you calculate base points, then MULTIPLY them by a length number for your total. it's gonna get all pro-basketball stylee in here.

With the annual amplificathon challenge due to start this month, I thought now might be a good time to put up a call for fic suggestions and requests. Consider this a bit of a prompt meme wherein we help each other find fics to record for amplificathon. Go team, go! *\o/*

( How do you define prompts and fills? )

giant fandoms - 1 point awarded

( handy examples are here! )

( 1 point fandoms )

( 5 point fandoms )

( 1 point pairings )

( 5 point relationships )

podmod

the points scheme always changes a bit from 'thon to 'thon, and this year is no exception! please read each section, and if you have any questions please ask us in the comments.

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, pairing, 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 included in the table at the bottom of this post.

a) fandom points:
- giant fandoms - 1 point (spn & spn rpf; sga; harry potter; merlin; mcr)
- represented fandoms - 5 points awarded - any fandom that was represented in the archive as of march 7 2013
- unrepresented fandoms - 10 points awarded

b) relationship points (gen or any romantic groupings):
- giant relationships - 1 point awarded (rodney mckay/john sheppard; sherlock holmes/john watson; castiel/dean winchester; dean winchester/sam winchester; derek hale/stiles stilinski; jensen ackles/jared padalecki; merlin/arthur pendragon)
- represented relationships - 5 points awarded - any relationship (or gen) that was represented in the archive as of march 7 2013
- unrepresented relationships (or gen) - 10 points

c) bonus points:
- non-english language bonus: 10 pts
- new podficcer bonus: 10 pts for each podfic done for the fest (applies if your first ever podfic is posted during amplificathon)

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

length multiplier:
under 10 min: 1
10:01-20: 2
20:01-40: 3
40:01-70: 4
70:01-120: 5
120:01-170: 6
170:01-220: 7
220:01-270: 8
270:01-320: 9
320:01-370: 10
370:01-470: 20
470:01-570: 25
570:01-670: 30

that's a wrap, everyone! podbang was an amazing success this year - over 113 hours of podfic! twenty amazing podbangers! more than fifteen volunteer cover artists! so many betas, audiencers, and cheerleaders! no defaulters! thank you, everyone!

okay. your podmods will now take a nap before gearing up for amplificathon. <3

podmod

We like to give podfics as prizes to the Amplificathon winners, but this year we had a low number of winners submitting requests. What we decided to do instead was ask our volunteers to record a number of the requested stories so they could be gifted to *all* the winners (and participants! and anyone reading this, really!) as a collective, instead of to the individuals who requested them.

There's a variety of fandoms represented here, and a variety of readers as well! We hope there's something for everyone. :)

( click me for podfics (and covers!) )

On a final note, your mods would like to sincerely thank everyone who responded to our request and created podfics, covers, and banners for our winners, and also everyone who wanted to but couldn't help. Seriously, we can't thank you enough! *group hug*

Hello, everyone!

It's been a while since this year's Amplificathon challenge ended, and as the holidays have arrived and the new year is swiftly approaching, it's time to get prizes sorted out!

Our winners for Amplificathon 2012, in no particular order!

( click me for banners )

Congratulations to all our winners and participants! This challenge wouldn't exist without you. <3 <3 <3

Be sure to check out the next post (coming shortly) with some prize podfics! \o/

hey hey bangers! just to let you all know where things stand!

we're about to send out our december wave of check-ins via email. this is our second check-in, and we will ask you for a status. we know this is a busy time of year, so please remember that there is no shame in dropping out! if you aren't started recording and ~30-50% of the way into your process, please take a good hard look at what's possible for you. it's not too late to start if you're procrastinating, but be realistic.

and this is important BECAUSE! we are getting ready to send out claims to our cover artists! and we don't want to have them claim things that don't happen. :( so. now you know our logic. artists, you can expect claims in a week or so. <3

podmod

hey hey podbang is trucking along nicely, past the first check-in and almost at the second, and it's time for us to start lining up artists to contribute covers for the finished products! please comment with an email address (or some other way for us to contact you) if you'd be willing and able to contribute a cover in one (or more) of the following fandoms! (once we get past our next check-in, we'll sort the rest out via email.)

podbang Podbang Pobdang Dangbop PODBANG.

the fandoms that will be in need of art:

Avengers
SG:A
Glee
The Social Network
Supernatural
Panic! at the Disco
My Chemical Romance
Suits
J2
Merlin
