Giving a talk about podfic: what should i say?

[pandarus]

Hi there! In my enthusiasm at discovering that I would actually be in the UK at the same time as the nine worlds geekfest, i may have volunteered to give a wee talk thing on podficcing, as part of the fanfic stream.

Um.

So, I know how and why I podfic, but I'd like to give a more rounded and helpful introduction, and suddenly I'm wondering who the hell I thought I was to jump in there as some kind of expert, when I'm terribly out of the loop and only know what I do anyway. Anybody got any thoughts on what I should include/cite/explain, in the capacity of person-who's-representing-our-artform?

(Would it be inappropriate to make a wee q'aire about your thoughts/experiences/preferences/tech /methods etc?)

Basically: help me, Obiwan Kepodficcers, you're my only hope!

I'd totally answer a questionnaire! :)

If I had to choose a small bibliography on Podfic 101 I would cite:

podcath's Podfic as transformative works--Let me count the ways and Podfics = Reading + … posts

sophinisba's A note to authors who are not podfic fans, from me, sophinisba

And probably generally rec the pod_aware roundups for posts and podcasts on various aspects of podficcing.

Good luck! :)

Thanks for the rec !!!

And I'll happily answer as well...

Sweet! I'll have a crack at it this weekend, then! :)

[pandarus]

Bless you! That's very helpful! <3

I'd answer a questionaire!

[pandarus]

Thank you!

I'd definitely answer a questionnaire, and spread the word about it hoping many others do too!

[pandarus]

Um, hi. I'm actually going to nine worlds and am a fairly new-ish podficcer if you want any help actually on the day? When are you scheduled to talk? (If nothing else I feel like we should at least meet up and say hi!)

Also I'd do a questionnaire. :)

[pandarus]

Yesss!

I'm sure the organisers would be good with us doing a team talk type thing, if you're up for that! Must get my arse into gear & sort out the q'aire, as time is rattling on! I'm afraid I don't have a mobile phone (...perverse, I know) but if you drop me a line at thingsinvisibletosee at gmail we could hatch a cunning plan?
