Introduction Post for 2013 Challenge + Info about points

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 mini challenges that pop up throughout to stretch your feedbacking skills even further.

If you're not sure what to say in your comments, check out [personal profile] klb's Podfic Feedback Toolbox: 5 ways to give great podfic feedback or hear it read aloud by [personal profile] 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

Places you could rec: your personal journal/tumblr/blog or a public reccing space like [community profile] podficpool


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 and mini challenges posted every few days to boost your points.

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.

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! ETA: 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.

Remember the challenge doesn't start until May 11th and ends May 25th

Does the feedback have to be on podfics we listened to during the two week period? I normally load a bunch of fics I haven't listened to, make a playlist, and when I've finished the playlist I delete the fics from my iPod (they are saved in iTunes on my computer), and post feedback. It might take me several weeks to finish a playlist.

Question! If someone posts a podfic on tumblr and I reblog it with a comment added that sort of works as feedback + a rec, does that count as 5 points? Or do the feedback and the rec need to be made into separate units somehow?

Are there points for only reccing? I've already left thorough feedback on a bunch of podfics I've been meaning to include in reclists; do I need to leave new thorough feedback on them and rec during this week for it to count at all?

Okay. No problem! I'll probably use this as an incentive to rec anyway, I just wanted to know if I ought to tally my points for it. You'll be completely unsurprised to learn I've created a spreadsheet for it. XD
