[pod-together]

Pod-together is a fandom fest where writers and podficcers create together—the writer creating text specifically intended for audio, and the podficcer creating the audio. If that sounds fun to you, sign-ups are open until June 13th! You can find instructions to sign up, rules, and FAQ at the dreamwidth site linked in our bio.

Sign-ups come in two flavors. If you would like the mods to match you with someone with similar fandom interests, sign up for Matchmaker Sign-Ups. If you would like to sign up with a partner, we also have Group Sign-Ups.

Writing is due July 26th, and podfic is due August 23rd. The minimum length for pod-together projects is 1000 words or 10 minutes of audio.

This is our 16th year running this challenge, and participants usually have a ton of fun and create amazing stuff, with everything from the typical style of fannish stories to submissions with filk, poetry, found footage/audio drama, sound effects, massive multi-voice collaborations, full-cast musicals, immersive soundscapes, playable games, and multiple languages.

If you’re on the fence and have questions, or want to try to scout a group before signing up, we have a section of our Discord open just for that. You can find a link to the Discord in the sign-up post on our dreamwidth!

It's time for Trilobite Tuesday! While searching the outcrops of Alabama’s 515 million-year-old Rome Formation, scientists made a remarkable discovery. They uncovered fossil trackways, known as Cruziana, which indicated that some olenellid trilobites—such as Mesonacis georgiensis—had started journeying onto land… or at least onto sea-adjacent tidal flats, perhaps in search of food or to deposit their eggs, before quickly returning to the relative safety of their maritime homes.

I think my favorite lost boys moment is the look on Dwayne’s face when the song changes on the stereo

Corran Horn: Next time I’m opening up to someone is my autopsy.

Corran, 3 hours later, to a cashier at Walgreens: …and every day I wake up and I have to acknowledge the fact that my father is dead and he died alone and I couldn’t save him-

Your faith has been shaken,

Your power's been taken,

It's time that you take it back

obsessed with the way Alan quickly and too-eagerly offers a knife out of his pocket to cut the bread, and Lucy, holding an actual bread knife, just says “I got it, but thank you~” she’s such a good mom

Alan bursting into Sam’s room and scaring the shit out of him and ruffling his hair with a big ol grin just cements to me that the Frogs and the boys would’ve gotten along fine if they weren’t, you know, trying to kill each other. they’re the same type of gremlins

Using a "painting with thread" technique, she creates portraits, anatomical forms, and ethereal figures that seem to float within wooden hoops, blending craft with fine art.”
