amplificathon 2013: calculating points

[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
670:01+: 40

fandom/pairing points

greetings from the audiofic archive!

[general_jinjur]

ah, plans. somehow they never really work out the way i intend. this post was meant to go up wednesday, DAYS before the sixth annual amplificathon was formally announced! but no, it's going up after that announcement. but that's okay! because i have things to share from the audiofic archive! NEWS.

if you've been by recently, you will have noticed a few changes!

( this got wordy, so: a cut )

there are more changes coming, but that's the basic update!

now for some fun facts found from fest fixing!

- there is no dominic monaghan/billy boyd in the archive AT ALL. i'm shocked by this.
- there are 2238 separate relationship tags in the archive.
- this year we made all the relationships with 300 or more podfics 1-point-'ships. that's six pairings.
- all six pairings are white dude/white dude. :/
- okay, this isn't actually a fact, but wouldn't it be awesome if we could get even one lady and/or poc into the top relationships? with actual substantial works? amplificathon is about getting diversity into the audiofic archive, after all. :)
( hey, in case you were curious, the numbers on those top relationship tags: )

- i didn't actually tally how many fandoms there are in the archive, and since it's a multi-level hierarchy i can't figure it out easily. lots?
- when we were working through how to define a giant fandom last week, though, i pulled out every fandom with more than one hundred podfics in the archive. and then i made aphelant try to guess the list while i laughed at her. not that i would have been able to guess either, since the results were pretty surprising.
- honestly, i'm pretty floored that we wound up with TWO rpf fandoms in the final "giant fandom" list, which we decided to make a top five list (also, for the purposes of not making it a top six list, we called spn and spn rpf one fandom. they are both giant, even uncombined, so.)
- no really, this list FASCINATED us. not least because the order of the big fandoms wasn't really a great direct prediction of the big relationships. some fandoms focus hard on a very small number of 'ships! some fandoms have characters who really get around, if you know what i mean.

( if you are interested in the breakdown, here it is - the 21 (or 22, depending on how you count it) best-represented fandoms in the archive. )

so. all the news that i could get typed before my brain turned to mush. :D
