your podbangening update for today!
Dec. 2nd, 2012 12:18 pmpodmodhey hey bangers! just to let you all know where things stand!
we're about to send out our december wave of check-ins via email. this is our second check-in, and we will ask you for a status. we know this is a busy time of year, so please remember that there is no shame in dropping out! if you aren't started recording and ~30-50% of the way into your process, please take a good hard look at what's possible for you. it's not too late to start if you're procrastinating, but be realistic.
and this is important BECAUSE! we are getting ready to send out claims to our cover artists! and we don't want to have them claim things that don't happen. :( so. now you know our logic. artists, you can expect claims in a week or so. <3

PODBANG: THE BANGENING: THE NEGOTIATIONS
Oct. 18th, 2012 10:25 pmpodmodokay, your tireless podmods are OKAY THAT'S A LIE PODMODS GET TIRED TOO.
sorry about that. but honesty is important.
and in that vein! we'll be sending out assignment emails soon, but we found that we have a bunch of information that we want to share with all participants - our global fic element lists! (not as scary as they sound). these are things that came up a lot in sign-ups, and they should help you to be confident that your recipient will be happy with their gift, and help the podmods to be confident that every recipient gets something they will love.
there are three lists:
the first list is stuff that lots of people threw a GIANT red flag on. we suggest you try to pick a story that doesn't include these things - just to be on the safe side. let's call this list DO NOT WANT.
our second list isn't quite so absolute. just tell us if these are in the story you choose for your podfic! we have some recipients who we will make sure DON'T get that podfic (these are major triggers/squicks/etc for several individuals who are signed up; we will make sure they don't get the element they are avoiding). no one marked any of these as preferences, either, jsyk.
third list! tell us if these are in your podfic because while they can be triggers and squicks, and some participants are avoiding them, other recipients would LOVE to get them.
YAY! okay, there will be other information in assignment emails. WHICH ARE COMING SOON. <3

the first list is stuff that lots of people threw a GIANT red flag on. we suggest you try to pick a story that doesn't include these things - just to be on the safe side. let's call this list DO NOT WANT.
- character bashing (particularly wife/girlfriend bashing)
- unresolved angst and unhappy endings
- graphic descriptions of self-harm
our second list isn't quite so absolute. just tell us if these are in the story you choose for your podfic! we have some recipients who we will make sure DON'T get that podfic (these are major triggers/squicks/etc for several individuals who are signed up; we will make sure they don't get the element they are avoiding). no one marked any of these as preferences, either, jsyk.
- no escape situations (physical or mental - eg despair, chase scenes)
- eating disorders
- bestiality (not applicable for were-animals, xeno, supernatural - those are ok)
- non-con, rape
- humiliation
- torture
- partner betrayal or infidelity/cheating
third list! tell us if these are in your podfic because while they can be triggers and squicks, and some participants are avoiding them, other recipients would LOVE to get them.
- incest
- dub-con
- major character death
- kink (we have specific lists of both kink likes and kink dislikes - so if your podfic includes kink, the more you can tell us about it, the better match we can make)
- graphic violence/extreme gore
- pregnancy (any type)
- institutional unequal power dynamics (innate and un-negotiatied, e.g.teachers, religious officials, doctors, psychiatrist, prostitution)
- large age difference (+15 years)
- bodyswap, sexswap, genderfuck
YAY! okay, there will be other information in assignment emails. WHICH ARE COMING SOON. <3
PODBANG! three days left of signups!!!!
Oct. 15th, 2012 10:06 ampodmodsignups are here!
just as a reminder, fandom nominations are not the same thing as signups - so if you want in on the bangening, follow the link and tick some boxes!
inside information: signups so far are AMAZING, we have great people taking part. :D

podmodfun fact: podmod hates cliffhangers.
okay so here is the deal! now that the fandom nominations period has ended - and thank you all for participating! - we are ready to do signups. this is where you pick out at least one fandom that you're willing to podfic in, and at least four fandoms you'd be happy to receive a gift in. we know that ratio is steep! we've learned from experience, though. we also have a big text box in our signup where you can tell us as much about your listening preferences as you wish, and you can get specific about your squicks and triggers, including if they are specific to a fandom. we do NOT have a field for reader squicks or preferences - don't fret, we are making ~~magic~~ happen behind the scenes. also, since readers pick the fic, the relevant person already knows those >.>
basically, the more fandoms you're willing to receive gifts in, the easier it is for your mods. if you find that really painful or challenging, make a note of that in the text box - our goal is to make sure that every gift giver and every gift recipient is happy!
SIGN UP HERE. signups are open through october 17! you will get your assignment (email or message) beginning october 20 (earlier if possible, but...that may not be possible). your assignment will include some information about recipient preferences and the squicks & triggers you will want to avoid or let mods know about. then you find the fic (or fics) you will be working with! first check in is november 1, so you might want to start daydreaming about possibilities now. :D
and a final note! we want to shout out to TWO awesome fests that overlap with us, because they look like the sort of thing that might give podbangers a boost or a mental break (the nice kind):
Pod Aware 2012 will be november 12-18! Pod Aware is crammed with meta and podfic appreciation and warm happy feelings - it's highly recommended! (link to dreamwidth; link to livejournal)
Theatripod runs 10/9 to 4/1! Theatripod is a fest to create podfic in the style of theatrical productions, converting fic into plays with multiple voices, auditions, direction, rehearsals, and a final performance. it's ambitious and exciting! (link to dreamwidth; link to livejournal)

Podbang nominations - wrapping them up!
Oct. 7th, 2012 02:37 pmpodmodokay, all - there's a bit over one day left for nominations (link to nomination form is here!), so if there's a fandom that hasn't made it yet that you want to make sure gets in, this is the time to find your podficcing pals and...seduce them into podbanging. and then charm them into nominating your favorites.
( we do have a set of fandoms that have definitely qualified! )
( and here are the fandoms that have been nominated but are on the edge! )

Podbang nominations reminder!
Oct. 6th, 2012 08:32 ampodmodbop bop bop! okay, that's the sound of your podmod's brain waking up for the day, sorry you had to witness it.
there are three days left for nominations! woohoo! nineteen fandoms are definitely in! i think! the coffee is still brewing! there will be a list of the top you-don't-need-to-worry fandoms later after coffee is drunk. at that point, if you don't see a fandom on that list that you would really like to see, then you can seek out people who are still pondering nominations (or who don't know about podbang what what. we welcome new podficcers (or never-podficcers who are really ambitious)) and ask for their help with a little coalition nominating!
and that is your podbang update. for now. i gotta pour the coffee.

pod pod bang bang
Oct. 2nd, 2012 06:31 pmpodmoda hint about strategic nominations: some fandoms have already had enough support in nominations that they will definitely qualify. so voting for them at this point is...not terribly useful. if only you knew what those were, so that you could rest easy that they will be there! and if only you knew if your favorite fandom hadn't yet made the list so that you could talk to your podbanging pals and ask for their help with a little coalition nominating!
IF ONLY.
oh hey, look what i found! a list of fandoms that qualified already! GUESS I'LL JUST LEAVE THIS HERE.
Teen Wolf (MTV)
Avengers Movieverse
Supernatural
Harry Potter
Sherlock (BBC)

PODBANG: THE BANGENING
Sep. 30th, 2012 10:24 ampodmod...what's that shambling monstrosity on the horizon? rising from the murky depths and baring jagged teeth at the cruel rays of the late-september sunlight? awakening sluggishly, twitching to life?
that's right, it's podbang!
get ready to hold on to your hats (but don't hold on to them yet, that would be silly)! we're currently tweaking podbang in an effort to shape it into something that sparks just as much (or more) joy, but fewer mod tears and trauma. more announcements coming soon, including rules, timelines, how to sign up, and whatever else we think of.
PODBANG WE MISSED YOU WELCOME BACK YOU BEHEMOTH.
