Mini Challenge 1: Commenting on works with no comments

[dodificus]

There are currently 140 pages of podfic at AO3 that don't have a *single* comment. Not one. There are 20 posts on a page, so that's 2820 podfics that have been posted with not one single piece of textual feedback.

Your challenge is to sort by comments and listen to/leave feedback for podfic with no comments. Perhaps you may see a few that you've listened to already and it reminds you to leave a comment, either way, let's get that number down a little, yeah?

Successfully completing this challenge will earn you 5 points for each piece of feedback you leave

Mini Challenge 2: The non-traditional feedback challenge

[dodificus]

The non traditional feedback challenge!

We've had great success in the past with variations of this challenge. This year I'm going to open it up to all of you to really go wild with it. Whether it is via postcard/art/audio/video/dance/puppetry/haiku/mime/comic strip/cos play or whatever your little hearts can dream up, send someone a non traditional form of feedback for their podfic.

To help out with the postcard part of the challenge here is a list of podficcers who would be interested in receiving a postcard from you (remember to put your postcards in envelopes for added privacy):

Mini Challenge 3: Try something new

[dodificus]

The amplification challenge is running at the moment. Do you take chances with your podfic listening or do you like to stay inside the safety of ‘your’ fandoms? Just imagine what you could be missing!

Try a podfic from a fandom or pairing or even just a reader that you haven't tried before. And then let the podficcer know what you thought!

Introduction/Points post

[dodificus]

This is basically the same Intro post from last year with a few additions/changes

Just 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 I'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 the 2 weeks of the challenge and hopefully you'll be inspired by the more specific mini challenges to stretch your feedbacking skills even further.

If you're not sure what to say in your comments, check out klb's Podfic Feedback Toolbox: 5 ways to give great podfic feedback or hear it read aloud by knight_tracer. You can also check out commenting on podfic some meta by yue_ix and story love, body love, performance love by greedy_dancer.


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

Places you could rec: your personal journal/tumblr/blog or a public reccing space like podficpool or podfic_love

You can't give yourself points for the challenges + points from the regular points scale.

ie: If you're claiming points from any of the mini-challenges for a piece of feedback you can't *also* claim points for reccing (another 5 points). It's either/or.


For the purposes of this challenge, giving a kudos/liking does not count as giving feedback and wont be counted in the points system.


There will be a post one week in and then another at the end of the second week where you can log your points.

This years mini challenges can be found here:

Mini Challenge 1: Commenting on works with no comments

Mini Challenge 2: Non traditional feedback

Mini Challenge 3: Try something new

Mini Challenge 4: What's that podfic?

At the end of the 2 weeks points will be tallied up and we will see who has been the most awesome at letting podficcers know how much they're loved.

You can play without bothering about the points, they are just there for people who find competition motivating and fun:)

In conclusion: listen to the podfics you normally would, give feedback, get points, join in on the challenges if you so desire, most importantly: have fun! Also, the podfic you feedback *doesn't have to be ones you've listened to in the space of the 2 week challenge*, it can be a chance to catch up on your backlog.

This years challenge runs from April 1st (today) to April 15th (Not today)
