dodificusJust a short post giving you an idea what you can expect from the challenge and how it's going to work. This is also a great place to ask any questions and hopefully we'll have an answer for you:)
I think most podficcers are of the mind that any feedback is better than no feedback! So, while you might feel like you ought to write a multi-paragraph ode to someone's accent/style/technical genius, sometimes all you really have to say is that you enjoyed it. And that's ok! Challenge yourself to leave some kind of feedback for every podfic that you listen to during April and hopefully you'll be inspired by the mini challenges that pop up through the month to stretch your feedbacking skills even further.
If you're not sure what to say in your comments, check outklb's Podfic Feedback Toolbox: 5 ways to give great podfic feedback or hear it read aloud by knight_tracer. It has a nice variety of examples and is just generally an overall interesting post on feedback in podfic fandom.
Points
For each piece of feedback that you give we're scoring as follows:
Leave basic feedback: 3 points
Example: Great job, I had fun listening to this!
Leave feedback with specifics about what you enjoyed: 4 points
Example: It was a treat listening to this while I was out walking today. I could hear the affection for the characters in your voice, and I loved the song you added at the end.
Leave feedback with specifics about what you enjoyed PLUS rec it somewhere accessible to fandom at large: 5 points
We will have a post each Saturday where you can log your points and a mini challenge posted each Sunday. And if you complete the weekly mini challenges then you have a chance to earn even MORE points! At the end of the month we will tally it up and see who has been the most awesome at letting podficcers know how much they're appreciated. The winner (or winners) will be able to request a podfic from one of our volunteer readers.
