Saturday = Points Post!

[dodificus]

We're entering into the home stretch guys! I hope you've been creating good feedbacking habits that will continue on after the challenge ends but in the meantime: Give you me all your points for the week!

How did you like this weeks Mini-Challenge, any surprises or difficulties looking for cover artists?

Comments

As a podficcer have you noticed an uptick in comments? I've had a couple, plus I've seen some recs as well. And it's made me feel all warm and fuzzy. I was kind of afraid at the start that podficcers would feel weird about getting comments during the fest because maybe it wouldn't feel like a 'sincere' comment or whatever. But that hasn't been my experience, which is great:)

I have noticed an uptick! I didn't get anything at all the first week out, but there's been a slow trickle of comments I don't think I would have otherwise gotten. I've been tickled pretty pink by them :D

As to the lack of sincerity, I'd generally assume that if someone didn't like my podfic, they'd just fail to leave a comment, rather than false praise. Yes, this is a competition, but the podfic community is generally too sincere for that kind of thing, from where I'm standing. Oh man, I really hope that my high totals don't make it look like my comments are insincere! Because they're really, really not /o\

No! A few people have gotten really high totals, not just you. And I know *none* of them are insincere. Seeing the way people have become really enthusiastic about scoring points, not for the sake of the points but because they want to feedback ALL the people has been so happymaking.

I was more worried about how people might feel who weren't involved and heard comments = points and got a little wary of the whole thing.
