today's winner! for the blipvert award - leviticus_lied!

so one of the aims of the amplificathon was to introduce diversity into the podfic available in fandom. we mostly did that by pushing for more fandoms - the happy accident was diversity in story types. most ficathons have a 1,000 word minimum - which means that a lot of the rare pairings are mostly short stories, ficlets, and drabbles, topping off at around 1,000 to 2,000 words. most of the podfics recorded prior to this challenge were much, much longer than that. i mean honestly, you can't swing a cat without hitting an epic in spn and sga. that makes it a little tough to let readers or listeners dip into the format, and the amount of time commitment for anything over 4,000 words gets crazy fast, and approaches exponential at some point (yes, i once recorded a nineteen hour long podfic. i had to do a lot of wacky and improbable things to make that possible, and i try not to think about how much working time it actually took. if we want more podfic in the world, that isn't a sustainable model). short fics are manageable and actually help reflect the reality of the extant written fics! okay, i'm not sure i'm making sense, but: <3.

one of the beauties of a drabble or ficlet is the economy of words, and the demonstration of the skill it takes to convey a story in a tiny space. pulling the reader into your universe for half a breath at a time. reading those stories is a challenge, and i think it's pretty awesome that people were willing to give it a shot.

leviticus_lied managed the very shortest of these palm-of-the-hand stories, at 47 seconds (she had a close competitor at 50 seconds!)
