# requests and # challenges

Just some quick announcements.

First, je_podfic is officially open for requests! ^_^

If there's a fic you really want to see/hear podficced, whether it's your own or someone else's, feel free to either comment to this post or make a request post of your own! Anything that gets more podfic into this fandom, I'm all for it :D

Second, I'm thinking about starting another podfic challenge here on the comm. I'm keen to get people's opinions on what kinds of things they'd like to see in a challenge - time-related, theme-related, things open to interpretation, exchanges, etc. Ideally, it would just be something fun with an end goal of generating more podfic for all of us to listen to ^_^

Thoughts or comments, I'd love to hear them!

A challenge sounds intriguing :) I'd be up for entering, though it would be a definite first. I'm interested to know how a podfic version of an exchange would run, I think that sounds like a lot of fun.

Any kind of challenge would be nice really, but a theme related one would be new, either writing then recording or just choosing other authors' fic on a select theme.

Sorry, it seems I've just come to say I like the ideas you've shared and not added many of my own ^^" Well, whatever goes down, it should be good.

Awesome! The way I see a podfic exchange working is in much the same way as a remix exchange works - people sign up, you're given an assignment and you choose from among either the fics that person has written, or if they're a non-writer from a list of favourite fics they've submitted, and record.

Theme challenges would be open to both fics already written, or for writing one specifically for the challenge itself. I do have plans in the future to do a Straight to Podfic challenge, where fics are written specifically to be recorded - aka, no fic post to accompany, they've no other existence online but as podfics :D
