snowflake_challenge but hoping to catch up in this post! I’ve skipped those challenges I didn’t feel like completing, and I’ll probably post more of these combined challenge posts for the remainder of the month :-)
Thank you for checking this post out!
Challenge #1: Introduce yourself
Hi, I'm Pea. I'm a podficcer! I have an intro post at the top of my journal. Thanks to this challenge, I gave it a bit of a polish. Here’s a link to it if you’re interested.
Challenge #4: Create some goals
My favourite part of the fannish year is setting goals, then seeing how I did. I usually make goals for myself anyway, so I enjoyed writing them for my journal for this challenge. It’s made them feel more official!
(1) Record longer podfics
There’s nothing wrong with short pods (I love shortfic, so making short pods comes naturally to me), but there’s something about the balance of my ‘podfic length’ tags that I’d like to mix up a bit in 2021. At present, I have 20 podfics over 10 mins. By the end of the year, I’d like to have doubled that amount.
(2) Record podfics for British Comedy
I am a huge comedy fan and want to spread the love by recording pods for Britcom fandoms that are either small or don’t have much (or any) existing podfic. I’m going to make a series on my AO3, Brit Com Pod, which already has a couple of works to go in it. Now I just need to fill it with more.
(3) Take part in events and exchanges that welcome podfic
I posted a masterlist of all the fannish exchanges I took part in last year recently, here. I’d like to take part in some of those again as I enjoyed the experience. I’d also like to find some new-to-me events that welcome podfic. I’m off to a good start with that as I’m currently signed up topurimgifts, but I’m keeping my eyes peeled for more.
(4) Reach 100 works on my podfic AO3
At nine months since I started making podfic, I’m already at 61. I think this is doable!
Challenge #6: Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create
This coincides brilliantly with the rec post I made a few days ago:
10 podfics I enjoyed in 2020!
:-)
Challenge #8: Make a wishlist
Three wishes <3
(1) Feedback! Like most fic writers, feedback gives me warm, happy feelings. If I’ve written anything at my fanfic AO3 that sounds RTYI, I’d love if you dropped me a comment or kudos. Seriously, those ‘new comment’ and ‘kudos summary’ emails make my day :-)
(2) Request podfic of your works in your Snowflake Challenge wishlist! If you do, consider adding a blanket permission statement to your AO3 profile. This is a few sentences allowing other fans to create works (such as podfic or translations) inspired by yours. You can read more about permission statements here. Afterwards, you might want to check out www.fpslist.org and add yourself to their database so podficcers like myself can find you easily! Their About page is here. If you’d like me to add you, let me know.
(3) Fic of my OTP, Brackish Okun/Milton Isaacs from the Independence Day movies. Here's their AO3 tag. If you’re interested in these two at all, please ask me about them <3 It is one of my goals in life to spread the word of this canon gay ship that didn’t get the attention (or treatment from the writers) that it deserves!
