Round 2: March/April GSD - Sign ups

[eosrose]

Sign ups are now open for the second round of podfic_gsd! We will be running from March 30-April 5 with our first check-in going live March 31st at Midnight CST. Latecomers are welcome to sign up here and jump in at any time during the week. Please don't hesitate to jump in and join us in setting personal goals and sharing self-satisfaction and squee. ♥

You will have the option to check in with us each day to update us on your progress or you may simply check in as you find the time. We aim to provide a relatively stress-free environment for personal accountability. You will be welcome to share snippets of what you’ve been working on, ask for help if you need it, and participate in mutual cheerleading and encouragement.

Sign up now, if you would like some encouragement and accountability as you:

• podfic up a storm for the annual amplificathon challenge;
• push to finish a chunk of your extreme_bigbang (final products are due in just 15 weeks!);
• start on your Cakebang podfic;
• generally make progress recording and/or editing any other podfics in your queue;
• upload and publish finished podfic that has been sitting on your harddrive;
• design the podfic cover art you’ve been putting off;
• design podfic covers for COVER ME! An Emergency Podfic Coverart Meme;
• complete some archivist duties for the audiofic archive;
• listen to the backlog of podfic you’ve downloaded but haven’t had a chance to enjoy;
• comment on all those podfics you’ve listened to recently;
• organize a podfic challenge or incorporate podfic into an existing challenge;
• aim to make progress on any other type of podfic-related work.

Ok, sign me up. I want to get some time in this week. I haven't recorded for a few weeks. I need to something. Anything.

this seems like a good idea in general, and a good idea for me at this time! so count me in.

Username: aralias
Word count you wish to edit: i need to edit 2 hours of audio drama together before the end of the week. but some of it has already been done...

Other goals for the week: idk, but my girlfriend would quite like to record a sixth doctor fic, so if my voice has returned to normal after the cold i could potentially do that too.

Username: aethel
Goal for the week: Listen to some of the backlog of podfic I've downloaded (and download some moooooore). I also want to find another fic to podfic--nothing's grabbing me at the moment, so that means reading new fic. Such a chore. :)

[eosrose]

I like the way you think!

[ailurish.livejournal.com]

Okay, count me in!

Username: ailurish
Word count you wish to record: I'll do it by pages if that's okay - I have 100 pages left to record for my EBB.
Word count you wish to edit: Not sure, this is the largest project I've worked on - any advice on what's a reasonable goal for a week?
Other goals for the week: Post one of my already finished podfics.

[idella]

Any advice on what's a reasonable goal for a week?

I think everyone has different reasonable goals. How long does it take you to edit, say, a page? How long for first edits, how long for final edits? Are you doing any intermediary edits? And how much time do you have/want to set aside for editing? Work from there, maybe? Or make it your goal to do any amount of editing?

IDK. Good luck!

[eosrose]

Whatever way you want to do it is fine by me! In my case, 10,000 words = 1 hour of finished audio and 5+ hours of work, if that helps you at all.
