Na"No" for Podfics?

[nwhepcat.livejournal.com]

I could have sworn I heard someone at Wincon mention a NaNo type challenge for podficcers. Though November's always a crazy month for me, I'm still incredibly tempted. Can anyone tell me if this exists and where I can find the info on it?

Thank you in advance!

Unless someone else was going on about it too, that was me! I think I settled on ReMoPodMo - Record More Podfic Month :P

Yes, it was! Is this your own personal challenge, then? What are your rules? You might get a co-conspirator! (Though I've got some reversebang to write!)

This is just a personal challenge, but it would be way more fun with someone else involved! (I've signed up for mini_nano too, but it's likely to fall by the wayside, since I have to get Podbang done with!)

My rules are to commit to X amount of time reading or editing a day. Personally, I was thinking of doing an hour, with anything over that being a bonus.

I'm intrigued, too.

It's a personal challenge I haven't actually been sure I was going to commit to, but I should, with Podbang around the corner. It would be a lot of fun to have other people on board!

I'm thinking of committing X amount of time a day (an hour, I think) to either editing or reading, depending on what needs doing and what I think I'm actually up to tackling.

Coolness! I'd just been playing with the hour-a-day notion myself. If it becomes, you know, a Thing, I'm in. *g*

I'm going to do it! Half hour on weekdays (at least until fic deadline in mid-Nov) and hour on weekend days.

I think I'm going to give it a shot too! I'll have to modify it a bit considering I have a fic deadline. Maybe 1 hour on the weekends, 1/2 hour on weeknights. Could still get a lot done in that time!

If this becomes a thing please count me in!

I, too, would sign up for this type of challenge.

;-D

I think it'd be awesome if we could get something like this up and running - I've been looking into podficcing my first epically-long fic, and it'd be nice to have some extra incentive to help me keep working on it. :D

Eosrose and I are setting up a Podfic Big Bang, which could give you some incentive :) Sign-ups will start in December, but posting wouldn't be until April so it's not quite an immediate thing, but...

[regonym.livejournal.com]

The timing for that would actually work out really well for me, I think! I won't really have a place to record anything until late November or December, so I could get started right away after sign-ups happen. :D

...is that a "YES I WOULD LOVE TO SIGN MY LIFE AWAY FOR THIS THING"? :)

(I was going to reply with a simple "Yay" or something, but, well, it's one a.m. and it's snowing already and I only had four hours of sleep last night, so... I cannot be blamed, obviously).

XDDD That's probably what it's going to end up turning into, I'm afraid. *eyeballs her prospective wordcount with some trepidation* But WHATEVS, I want to do it anyway. \o/

I know... I found a story I want to do and immediately started calculating how long it would take me... and then I was really glad that I have all that free time...somewhere, hiding from me.
