It's that time of year again! Specifically, the time when we make an anthology for [livejournal.com profile] halfamoon showcasing awesome ladies both fictional and fannish! As we have for the past two years, we'll collect a bunch of short lady-centric podfics by different readers in different fandoms and make them available both as individual files and as a podfic/podbook collection.

If you are not familiar with this project, you can see the previous two anthologies here and here.

To Podficcers: Interested in participating? We'd love to have you. Even though we're working with a relatively short time-frame, it should be a low-stress project, even for people who are new to podficcing, since we are only looking for short podficlets: based on stories of less than 1500 words (with many being as short as 1-2 minutes). If you'd like to record something for this anthology, please comment here or at the corresponding post on [livejournal.com profile] amplificathon with your preferred method of contact (email or PM), and we'll send you the link to the spreadsheet where we'll be keeping track of all the podfics.

Here are some good places for finding short fics about female characters:
-Awesome Ladies Ficathon (LJ)
-Real Women Fest
-Female Character Trope Fest
-The Bechdell Test Comment Ficathon
-The Bechdell Test Comment Ficathon II
-I am the Plot, Babe: A Villainess Ficathon
-Where No Woman: Un-erasing the women of Star Trek
-Femslash Kinkmeme 2012
-The Women Being Awesome, Female Characters, and Female Relationships tags at the AO3, sorted by wordcount.

Since this project has a quick turnaround time, you may want to refer to the list of authors who have given Blanket Permission to Podfic, so that you can get started recording stories right away!

If you come across a lady-centric story that you love that is longer than 1500 words, please check out [community profile] audiofemme's arm in arm/fist to fist podfic fest!

To the Podcurious: A number of prolific podficcers have gotten their start by contributing to previous years of this anthology. If you have ever thought you might like to create podfic, this is a really great starting place. It's low pressure, you'll get a ton of listeners, you're contributing to a cool fanwork that celebrates our love for female characters, and it's not too intense of a spotlight, because your piece is in the company of many other voices.

To Everyone: Feel free to comment with links to other fests or specific works that you think would be a good fit for this anthology. Even if you're not able to make a podfic right now, maybe you can help someone else find a story they want to record.

To Authors: It would be totally awesome if some authors wanted to get involved, in [community profile] pod_together style, to create short female-centric pieces for the anthology in collaboration with podficcers. If you’re an author who’s interested, please comment below. Podficcers who would like this sort of collaboration, please reply directly to the authors.

Below the cut is a little more information on what we're looking for with these podfics and how they should be submitted.



For the sake of consistency within the anthology, we'd like to ask that everyone follow these guidelines for eligible fics and the metadata you include in the podfic:

-Each reader can make up to 10 podfics, and each story should be no more than 1500 words.
-All stories should focus on characters who identify as women in canon.
-All fandoms, including rpf fandoms, are eligible.
-All recordings should begin and end with two seconds of silence.
-Each reading should begin, "[Title], by [author], read by [reader]. Fandom: [Fandom]." We also suggest including appropriate warnings or content notes for common triggers such as sexual assault and underage sex.
-Each reading should end with "The End".
-To match last year’s anthology, the meta data should follow this format:


Name: [Fandom] Title
Artist: readername (reader)
Album Artist: authorname (author)
Year: 2013
Album: Awesome Ladies Podfic Anthology III
Comments: Text at: http://link
Genre: Podfic
(Note that usernames should be all-lowercase, with fandom and title given title capitalization.)

-All podfics should be submitted in mp3 format by February 10th at midnight Central Standard Time (GMT-6).
-NEW THIS YEAR: To help make sure the volume across the anthology is consistent, we are providing a benchmark volume file to use for volume-matching. Please make sure that your own podfics are approximately matched to this volume. If you aren't sure how to adjust volume, in Audacity it's Amplify under the Effects menu, and in Garageband it's track volume (the blue line here). If you have more questions, feel free to ask in the comments!

Benchmark volume file: Here (right-click save to download)

Ok, so I think I'm going to need some help with the sound modifications? I know how to use the amplify tool in Audacity, but how do I get it to match the benchmark file? Thanks!
