Pod_Together 2017 Pencieve Podfic Finder Post

[opalsong]

Hey all,
I want to do a Pod_Together project but it is pretty specific and also really experimental. The focus is on memory and creation (I've included the basic instructions below). I'd LOVE if I could get some people together to do this. I've run this once before and the collection of finished works is up on AO3. Let me know if you are interested!

Please sit back and relax. This is one of a number of transmissions you will receive. You may read this as fast or as slow as you wish but please read it only once. Please do not take notes or talk about it on social media or record it while you read. This piece is about your memory as much as it is about my writing. However, it is not a memory test. Don’t memorize it word for word (unless you want to). What you choose to focus on and what you pass over and what your brain makes up to fill the gaps is as much a part of the story as the text itself. After reading you can choose when to record it. It can be immediately after, or you could wait several days, or you could wait until after the final transmission, or some combination, or something I have not thought of.

 

The transmission you are about to read is one of a number and may not be in chronological order (with the others or within itself). It may shift tense and point of view. The piece will build and reveal itself as the transmissions go on. Feel free to edit the final product as much (sound effects or music or whatever else you can imagine) or as little (raw recordings) as you want. Now please, sit back and enjoy:

EDIT: I've started to pull the group together. You can still join (up until the first transmission goes out) but we're going to be deciding on Fandom/Tropes soon so you may not be a part of that.

EDIT CONTINUED: Participants PLEASE get me your emails & twitter handles (even if you think I already have them)

I think I get it? Anyway, I'm in if you need voices. Can I ask around how long it's going to be?

[opalsong]

Awesome!! Length should be around 5k (but might be a bit more or less depending on the idea we come up with). And that 5k will be doled out in 750-1000 word chunks over the course of a couple of weeks so there shouldn't be any massive recoridng sessions (if you don't want to). Lemme know if you want more info.

[analise010]

I'm down! You can email me The Thing at this username at Gmail.

[opalsong]

Hey! Signed us up! (well signed me up. I didn't have everyone else's info) Things I need from you now are: your email, your twitter info, and your ao3 name. Also, can you regularly see twitter group dms? I want to run most of this on twitter (easier for casual conversation than email) but I obviously want everyone to be able to see everything :)

More info coming very shortly.

ps. it's going to be a little more involved than just me emailing you a thing & you recording it. Feel free to drop this project at any time if you feel like it isn't what you signed up for.

[frecklebombfic]

this sounds totally fascinating and I'd love to participate as a reader! can I ask which fandom it's likely to be in?

[opalsong]

Awesome!!! We'll decide the fandom(s) and themes/tropes as a group once we start going.

[frecklebombfic]

Excellent. Yeah, I'm on board!

Great! Email is frecklebombfic at gmail, twitter is frecklebombfic (i think i followed you not long ago, maybe yesterday?) and ao3 is frecklebomb.

I will probably be checking other group dms daily already, so v happy to look at one more. Thanks for signing us up (via you)!

I have an abysmal memory and make up half of the details in any given story more often than not. I think this could bring a fun chaotic element into this project? I like what's going on in your Pensive project.

Do you have my email already? yue.ykx at gmail.

[opalsong]

:DDDDDDDD Chaos is fun!! AND if you wanna do the entire thing in French feel free! We had someone last round do most of it in German. I think multi language is AWESOME!

[yue_ix]

OOOohh Yesss I might take you up on that (well, a frenglish mix, tbh, which is how I consume media in my head anyway, possibly with baby noises in the bg. Welcome into my House. :D)

Great !

Email : yue.ykx AT gmail.com
Twitter: yue_ix
Ao3: yue_ix

And yes i can see group twitter DMs, the way you did it for the Yuri On Ice massive collab. :)

[cantarina]

Also opal was really great about letting me self-accommodate around my disabilities on the last project, so maybe something similar can be worked out?

[yue_ix]

Yes, your involvement in the Pensive run sold me to this project. Short segments seem good, and not being judged for fumbling the story, ading or substracting to it, sound amazing. She already proposed I can do it in French, and I'm looking forward to the Frenglish mess that's probably going to be. :D

[cantarina]

I can't WAIT to hear your Frenglish :DDD

[rscreighton]

Hi hi hi, yes me? Me I'm here for this. And also fascinated. OMG.

[opalsong]

I'm in again! I'm curious to see what I can do now that I've done it once and I'm not having to work at the basics.

[opalsong]

[knight_tracer]

Count me in!

[opalsong]

Can you let me know your AO3 handle/twitter handle/email so I can add you to my group's sign up for pod_together? And can you regularly see twitter group dms? I'd like to run most of this that way but obviously not if not everyone can't see it. I wanna get this rolling :)

[knight_tracer]

knight_tracer on all the things, my email is beexfive@hotmail.com. Yes, group twitter dms are fine. \o/
