Snowflake challenge, Day 8

Day 8

In your own space, talk about setting yourself a fannish goal. Big or small, it doesn't matter. Some examples: complete a bingo, sign up for a Big Bang, write that fic you've been thinking about for years, podfic that story that you love, make a fanmix for your fandom, post that bit of meta or reclist you keep putting off. Maybe resolve to be better at leaving feedback or answering comments. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Well, I definitely want to focus on answering comments better than I have been. I don't get very many comments anymore, simply because my writing output has gone down so much, but I really want to interact with people more, so that's really important.

Also, I kind of want to do a podfic? IDEK. I've never done it before, and I read far too fast.

Yes, you want to do a podfic! All the yeses! Because podfic is awesome and more people need to make it.

Podficcer's are really lovely people. Just do it!

Someone told me to read as though you are reading to ESOL people. It helped slow me down enough, I think. Plus, there is no way to improve if you don't do it:D

(For the record, for my first "real" podfic, I recorded it like three times knowing I was going to throw those away, then I started recording "for real":))

PODFIC!!!!! LET'S DO IT!!!!! Do you have a Twitter? A lot of the podfic community is Twitter-based, but there are also places like podfic_tips and amplificathon to get you started.

I think it's cool that you want to attempt a podfic as a way to get yourself to slow down. Neat idea.
