cybel: (amplificathon tagging mod)
[personal profile] cybel
Edited 4/8/2012 for new changes to the tagging system.

The basic tags for posting any podfic to amplificathon here on DW are: fandom, reader, not archived (which the mods with change to archived after your podfic is added to the Audiofic Archive), and, if you are posting an m4b version, post:podbook).

If you are posting as part of a challenge, you will also use the specific challenge tag, i.e. amplificathon 2012, etc.

If you don't yet have a reader tag or if you need any other new tag, we'll make one for you since only mods can make new tags or change existing tags on a post.

Don't worry if you make an error in tagging or if you are unsure about what tags to use; that's what I'm here for. Just add a note to your post or drop me a line (though hopefully I'll catch the problem and fix it for you without your having to worry about it).

Attention podficcers!

It's time to ready your mics! The 2012 Amplificathon starts as soon as March 14th rolls into March 15th in the very first time zone. There's a page here that will show you when that is in your time zone.

Remember, some of the rules have changed this year, so please read the FAQ and all related mod posts (linked at the bottom).

Also, there will not be a GO! post (because 5 am is too early for the mods to get up okay), so don't wait on us to start posting on March 15th! We like waking up to goodies. :)

because we've been unable to update the audiofic archive with podfic for many months we can't determine the mid-tier (less represented in the archive) fandoms and pairings in any kind of meaningful or accurate way. so we're making a few changes!

change 1: pairings & fandoms )

change 2: points scheme )

how to calculate your points )
podmod: (Default)
[personal profile] podmod
fandom points:

  • unrepresented fandoms (not on either fandoms list) - 10 points awarded



pairing points (we're calling gen a pairing, as well as any romantic groupings.):

  • less-represented archived pairings/gen - 5 points awarded
    • any pairing/gen that was represented in the archive as of 3/16/11.

  • unrepresented pairings (not on either pairings or gen lists) - 10 pts



how do i do this math?
handy examples are here! )



1 pt fandoms )



5 pt fandoms )

For the past several years this community has been mirrored on LiveJournal and Dreamwidth. As the Amplificathon challenge and the Dreamwidth userbase have both grown, the mods have found running the challenge from two communities to be unmanageable and unsustainable.

We've decided that the 2012 Amplificathon will be run from Dreamwidth only. This means that, while you're free to post your podfics to the LiveJournal comm, only posts made to the Dreamwidth comm will be tallied for points. Even though the Amplificathon challenge is moving to Dreamwidth, posting to the LiveJournal community will remain open.

There are several reasons we've chosen Dreamwidth as the 'thon's home. We're rapidly approaching the LJ community's 1000 tag limit and the only way to increase that limit is by paying for the community. At this point in time we are not comfortable monetarily supporting LiveJournal. Without a tag limit increase we will be unable to continue maintaining the comm on LJ at the level we require to run the 'thon effectively. Moving to Dreamwidth and upgrading the community there allows us to keep the 'thon running and accommodate more and more readers that are creating work in more and more fandoms.

In our decision to move the 'thon to Dreamwidth we also took advantage of Dreamwidth's new community import feature. This was an important step for us to take, not only so that we will have all 'thon entries in one place and won't need to check back and forth between the comms for information, but also so that all of the community's tags import correctly and intact. This has created many duplicate entries but the mods don't consider their clean up to be a priority at this time (though we'll delete duplicates if/when we come across them, and if you have duplicated entries feel free to delete them at will).

Dreamwidth has also recently created the ability to merge your Dreamwidth account with an OpenID account. This means that you can 'claim' your imported posts and comments on Dreamwidth by connecting a Dreamwidth account to the OpenID account that made the posts. More information on that can be found here. Dreamwidth currently has open registration (ie: no invite code needed) so if you'd like to take advantage of this and don't have an account (or have an account but don't want it associated with the OpenID account your Amplificathon posts are attached to) you can create one here.

In the last year we've seen a shift in podfic presence to Dreamwidth and many new fandoms are choosing Dreamwidth as their fannish home. A large migration to Dreamwidth has happened in the last few months, and we hope you'll join us there as well!

Looking forward to the 2012 Amplificathon,
Your mods

Jinjurly has reported that now the Archive's direct download links have been hijacked as well as the rest of the site. As she is still traveling, she cannot sort the issue yet, though it will be first on her To Do list when she returns.

Please to not attempt to download any of my podbooks or any older Archive links until we let you know that doing so is safe. Be assured, in the meantime, that all the files themselves are fine; it's only the download links that have been compromised.

so. the audiofic archive (actually, all of my domains, which makes it a more complicated clean up) has been hacked, and is, in fact, full of malware. which i am purging as quickly as possible while being as thorough as possible. it will be closed for at least the next 10 days. direct links to zip files should be fine, and unimpacted by weird redirect nonsense (the actual podfic files are segregated out from the archive code and the rest). this process would be faster if i wasn't leaving the country in a few hours. :/

my apologies for the annoyance and inconvenience.

As you may be aware, Megaupload was shut down Thursday and all links to files hosted on the site are no longer viable. Some of you used Megaupload to host podfic, and most of you use some kind of temporary file host.

If anyone has lost their podfic to Megaupload (or through file deletion of any kind) and no longer have a copy of your work, we would like to help you recover it. Please leave a comment here and let us know what you're missing (and where it's been posted) and we will do our best to find someone who downloaded it and still has a copy.

If you see a request in the comments and you have the file someone needs, please help them out! And if your only copy of your podfic exists on a filesharing site, please back it up! We don't want anyone to permanently lose their fanwork. <3

After the Archive's temporary downtime last year, it came back up for a bright, shining moment, during which the archivists were able to work for, oh, 48 hours? And then the Archive broke itself once more (at least the front end still works this time? mostly? :D?).

Professionals are now being talked to in order to get the Archive up and running again. We hope to have a resolution soon.

Sadly, Podbang 2011 did not grow wings, but we're thinking ahead to Podbang 2012! Sometime soon we'll be querying the comm about changes we're looking at making to the challenge.

This year's 'thon was so so great, we want to thank everyone who participated! There were tons of new fandoms and pairings introduced, and a few non-English languages as well! There were also some brand new podficcers!! This is what Amplificathon is all about, everyone. Thank you for making podfic fandom a bigger, broader place! \o/

We especially want to give a shout out to the volunteers who made graphics and podfics for our winners. Some of them were even winners themselves! THEY ARE THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING I GUESS. :D :D

And we also want to give a huuuuge thank you to the winners who waited so long for their prizes. This mod is totally not going to be in charge of posting ever again! Which is good, because making them gives me the :( and the D:

This mod would also like to thank LJ for not crapping out on her tonight. I can only suffer so much post-blocking from DDoS attacks before I explode! Ta. :)

In short: YOU ARE ALL GREAT! <3 <3 <3

Posting your first podfic to the 'thon during the last week of the challenge earns you the Fashionably Late Award! This year our winner is [livejournal.com profile] escherzo who popped in, took a look around, and joined us fashionably late!

We also have a second Lindworm Award winner (because this mod fails at copypasta D:)! We are calling [personal profile] laurie_ky and [personal profile] alchemynerd co-winners of the award for the single longest podfic, with Laurie having a slightly longer podfic than our first-posted winner with an amazing 12 hours, 36 minutes and 25 seconds!

Laurie didn't post a podfic request initially so we don't have a podfic for her, but I'm going to link to her request just in case anyone is interested in the stories she requested or has them in their podfic queue already:

She's been kind and understanding about this mistake. Thanks Laurie! Sorry this took so long to post.
