[podmod.livejournal.com]

okay, it's time to get this train moving again!

it became very obvious to the podmod team, very quickly, that we didn't just need to have winners based on points earned - because people were doing remarkable things left and right, and they deserve recognition. and also, a little bit, because one third of the podmod team went a little nutty thinking about the possibilities, and, well, the other two thirds seem to have given up on reining her in. there's a whole give-her-enough-rope lesson here, but i say we ignore that in favor of announcing our first award winner!


shadowkittykat_ wins the lindworm award!



the lindworm award is for the reader submitting the largest single podfic recording during the course of the amplificathon. shadowkittykat_'s dresden files recording, strange devices, clocked in at over five hours, a heroic length! (a lindworm is a big scandinavian dragon seaserpenty thing. and this award was named by...someone. who remarked that some participants were recording real lindworms! and i kind of thought that was awesome and stole it. was it you? please pipe up, for award-naming credit. eta: it was podfic_lover! she said: In scandinavian and european tales a lindworm is a gigantic draconic, often limbless serpent that needs to be defeated by a hero. And when you see what long stories some readers finished, it's in my opinion an act of bravery and a proof of determination and dedication.. and she was right!)

shadowkittykat_'s prizes include the lovely graphic seen above, donated by liviapenn, and a recorded-to-order podfic, donated by laurie_ky! the podfic will be posted here later this evening.

\o/ YAY shadowkittykat_! \o/

Congrats to the winner of this prize! You really deserved it... five hours - that´s just amazing. I´ve heard of only a few attempts that mount up to something so long.
I think it´s just the right way to go - so much more podfic love to spread through different prizes!
