amplificathonIt’s been too long! And that’s on mod Kit. But I’m back and ready to GO!
Now, the next Podfic Big Bang will not begin immediately. The plan is to establish a yearly schedule, and I also don’t like spanning years. So, we’re waiting for the new year! That gives you plenty of time to plan.
But, since it’s been a long time, perhaps you have some questions.
What?
The Podfic Big Bang is a scheduled event which asks podficcers to record, edit, and post podfics of epic length. At minimum, 10,000 words.
Who?
Anyone, in any fandom, can participate in the Podfic Big Bang, but please make sure you have permission to record your podfic of choice.
When?
The signup and start date will be January 1st, and the end date will be March 31st, with check-ins throughout.
Where?
Announcements and check-in posts will be made on Dreamwidth and Tumblr. Twitter will also be used for backup announcements, but will not be a primary communication tool. On March 15th, the AO3 collection will open for posting, though you are encouraged to post your podfic to the PBB Dreamwidth page, as well.
How?
Well, personally, I recommend recording a little bit every day. But you can also go wild and do the entire thing in a weekend. Just make sure you get some food, water, and sleep, huh?
Why?
Because we all like more podfic, but sometimes you want MOAR PODFIC.
Community
I recommend you join the PodfiChat Discord group. There are multiple discussion channels, including one just for project and fest discussions, which is where you can keep in touch with one-another outside of check-ins!
Rules
Schedule
Check-ins
We highly recommend you participate in check-ins, whether on Dreamwidth, Tumblr, or Discord. However, you will not be disqualified for missing check-ins. This is casual, ya’ll.
Cover art
At check-in #3, a separate post will be made to the general Amplificathon Dreamwidth page, allowing podficcers to request art.
Posting guidelines
An AO3 collection for Podfic Big Bang 2025 will be opened on March 15th. This will be a REVEALED collection, so your podfic will appear once it’s posted, instead of waiting for the 31st. BUT, once the 31st is over (UTC time), the collection will close, and no further works will be accepted.

- Minimum length: 10,000 words

- So, if you’ve posted part 1 of a series, you can do parts 2+ for PBB, but part 1 does NOT count towards the word total.
- You may submit as many qualifying works as you wish.
- Collaboration is okay, but please specify that you are on a team when signing up.
