amplificathon

so we love prizes here at amplificathon SO MUCH that apparently i have been competing for the very secret award for latest prize post. i think i won it, you guys. \o/

/o\ sorry! (this is all me, general_jinjur - other podmods were not part of this foot-dragging <3 )

because kalakirya is awesome, she (virtually) tapped me on the shoulder, kindly asked what the hell was up with the prizes, and then very graciously made these. so here we go:


for the first place winner of amplificathon 2013 - reena_jenkins!



for the second place winner of amplificathon 2013 - kalakirya!



for the third place winner of amplificathon 2013 - exmanhater!



for the ampliplanet award winner of amplificathon 2013, posting the most non-english language podfics - kdheart!



for the lindworm award winner of amplificathon 2013, posting the longest podfic in the challenge - hananobira!



for the supersampler award winner of amplificathon 2013, posting the most new fandoms in the challenge - kdheart!



YAY WINNERS! i will catch up before amplificathon 2015 begins, which is very soon, with a fantastic new podmod team!

now that we've dealt with who posted last, we can get to who posted first! and we have two winners! HOW'S THAT POSSIBLE HOW CAN TWO PEOPLE BE FIRST you ask?

didn't we just get done discussing linear time, and how it's for the birds? well. it's also...confusing? and following a lot of poking at entries and also at poor tired podmod memories, we called a winner, and that winner was multiple. the true spirit of the intrepid award is in not being afraid to plunge right in, and both of the winners embodied that this year! kalakirya and kdheart! congratulations on your bravery and also your lack of procrastination!

hey hey it's that time! over the next two days, we'll be announcing the winners of the 2013 amplificathon!

/aside where i make a speech in which i say "...but aren't we ALL winners, really?" and get all dewy-eyed.


FIRST UP! BLIPVERT.

if you were watching closely (or watching twitter at the right time), then you'll know all about the bloodthirsty competition that raged to make the shortest possible podfic this year in order to bag the blipvert award. in the process, analise010 and kdheart pushed hard at what was possible to cut while still keeping a recording identifiably a podfic. also, they fostered a friendly rivalry until it became a feud that will surely last at least a few seconds.

announcing the winner of the Amplificathon 2013 Blipvert Award: kdheart!

and because she came so close, something for analise010, behind the cut. ( Read more... )

The Whisky & Lemon Award goes to the person who posted the most cumulative minutes of podfic to the challenge. This year's winner is reena_jenkins, who topped out at a whopping 51 hours, 54 minutes and 48 seconds!!

I bet you're regretting those 5m12s that you could have recorded to make it a nice even 52 hours, right Reena? JOKES. ::ducks tomatoes::

For reena_jenkins!

What we call those brave Amplificathoners, who sally forth, paving the way for us by posting the first podfics of the challenge, is 'intrepid'. This year we're honouring two people who posted in the first few hours of the challenge, one to the LJ comm and the other to DW.

Congratulations to bessyboo (LJ) and dodificus (DW) for being our bravest -- and quickest! -- participants.
