Let the feedback begin!

Guess what? It's April 1st where I am so I hereby officially declare the 2012 Podfic Feedback Challenge open for business!

Start keeping track of all the podfic that you feedback, along with the points that you earn and then log them at the official Points Post when it pops up next Saturday.

I'll be posting the first of 5 mini challenges (an opportunity for more points!) in about 8 hours time, so look out for that.

Mini Challenge 1

[dodificus]

A lot of us have that podfic (or podfics!) that we keep coming back to. It's that one you listen to when you’re sick or bored or need to be lulled into sleep. Your favourite podfic that you’ve listened to a hundred times and could probably quote better than the person who recorded it:)

Have you ever actually let them know how much you love it? How much fannish glee it’s given you? If you haven’t then go hunt their post down and give them some love now! If you have (*high fives you*) maybe you could go and let them now that even now (months, years) after they posted it, you’re *still* listening.

If you're not someone who listens to the same podfic over and over, think back to one of the first podfics you ever listened to, or the first one that made you start to realize how much you could love this. Go back and tell the reader what a difference their work has made in the way you do fandom.
 
 If you're having trouble finding an old podfic post, keep in mind that every entry at the Audiofic Archive has a link to a page where you can comment to the reader.

ETA: anatsuno has also created a great post with some info on bookmarklets and how they can make searching the AO3 and the Audiofic archive easiers. You can find it here

Successfully completing this challenge will earn you 5 points for each piece of feedback you leave, up to a maximum of 20 points (ie 4 pieces of feedback)

Feel free to reminisce in the comments about the story or reader or event that seduced you into podfic fandom:)
