"The Mother of Beauty", by postcardmystery (The Secret History)

[luzula]

Title: The Mother of Beauty
Author: postcardmystery
Reader: luzula
Fandom: The Secret History, by Donna Tartt
Pairing: Julian Morrow/Henry Winter, Camilla Macaulay/Charles Macaulay, Camilla Macaulay/Henry Winter, Francis Abernathy/Charles Macaulay
Rating: PG-13
Length: 13 m 36 s
Author's summary: Julian Morrow was always supposed to be a somebody, and it’s not until his third summer in Rome, twenty-four and tan and smoking cigarettes on his balcony, that he realises that he was born a somebody, and there is nothing his father can do about it, either.
Notes: For idella in the FandomAid auction for Typhoon Haiyan. Sorry it took so long, and thanks for your donation! Thanks to calvinahobbes for showing me how to pronounce the ancient Greek quote in the beginning, and to toft for beta-listening to catch other possible Classics-related mispronunciations. This fic is tagged for murder, incest and power dynamics, but the references are pretty oblique, and if you know the canon, you'll know what you're getting.

amplificathon 2014: calculating points

[podmod]

we liked the way the points worked last year so we're pretty much keeping things the same! 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 posted throughout the challenge.

a) fandom points:
- giant fandoms - 1 point (spn & spn rpf; stargate atlantis; merlin; harry potter; avengers movie; my chemical romance; teen wolf; sherlock)
- represented fandoms - 5 points awarded - any fandom that was represented in the archive as of march 9, 2014
- unrepresented fandoms - 10 points awarded

b) relationship points (gen or any romantic groupings):
- giant relationships - 1 point awarded (rodney mckay/john sheppard; dean winchester/sam winchester; jensen ackles/jared padalecki; derek hale/stiles stilinksi; merlin/arthur pendragon; sherlock holmes/john watson; castiel/dean winchester)
- represented relationships - 5 points awarded - any relationship (or gen) that was represented in the archive as of march 9, 2014
- 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
