eafay70UNIVERSAL BONUS [10 point bonus]: Bonus for any Voiceteam fanwork that centers one or more characters of color. This includes racebent characters, as long as the fanwork includes a reference to that character’s identity.
LENGTH BONUS for audio: +10 points if over 10 minutes, +15 points if over 30 minutes, +20 points if over an hour.
PROJECT LEAD BONUS [15 point bonus]: A player qualifies for this bonus if they: a) took the leading role in a multivoice project involving three or more Voiceteam players other than themself and b) did significantly more work than the other people involved in the project (e.g. prepared the script, organized roles, set deadlines, followed up with people, answered questions, and edited together the work).
THINKING OF YOU [10 points for choosing, +10 for using the bonus method, 35 points for each player who contributes to the podfic]:
Choose a written work for a teammate to audio record. Bonus points if you listen to a podfic of theirs first, then recommend them something you think would be well-suited to their strengths as a podficcer.
TWO-TIMER [50 points for each player who contributes]:
Record two distinct versions of the same story. This should involve two separate performances (with the same person/people voicing the same role(s) both times), not just the same performance made different through edits or effects. Examples: one traditional recording, the other whispered ASMR style; one English, one Turkish; one traditional, the other with commentary between paragraphs.
IMMERSION CHAMBER [35 points for each player who contributes]:
Choose a fandom that has an audio or video component. Immerse yourself in watching or listening to that canon for at least 30 minutes, and then start recording an audio fanwork for that fandom within the next 5 minutes, with the canon character voices still ringing in your ears. If possible, don't interact with anyone or speak aloud in between the end of watching/listening to canon and the beginning of recording your audio fanwork.
CHOOSE WELL [20 points, +5 if it's something you don't usually do]:
Listen to podfic while doing things that are good for you, physically or emotionally or otherwise. For example: cuddling a pet, cooking a healthy meal, eating vegetables, drinking water, going on a walk, doing stretches/yoga, or soaking your feet. Choose a length of podfic that feels appropriate for the amount of points you're earning (which will vary from person to person depending on spoons/energy/barriers/choice of activity) and spend the entirety of that podfic doing things that are good for you! If you are comfortable doing so, tell us about it in the #good-things channel so we can cheer you on and be inspired by you! Bonus if this involves something good for you that you don’t usually do.
Please note: We are using the honor system for what you think is good for you. You do not need to explain what you did when submitting for points (or tell anyone at all) unless you want to!
SYNC UP [40 points for each player who contributes]:
Blend your team's voices in magnificent harmony! First have a team discussion where you compare and teach preferred sound editing methods (e.g. noise reduction, volume balance/loudness normalization, limiting, filter curve). Then pick a shared editing process for everyone to try. Finally, create a multivoice audio fanwork where everyone follows that editing process on their individual recordings, and those separate files are combined to make the final work. Marvel at how good everyone sounds together!
MOOOOOD [35 points for each player who contributes]:
Make an audio fanwork (podfic, filk, oral notfic, etc) that incorporates animal sounds in some way. Create the animal sounds with your own voice and/or body, not with props or in post-production. Make them as realistic as possible.
HIGH FIVE [10 points for posting your list, 35 points for each player who contributes to an audio fanwork created from your list]:
Create a list of 5 audio fanworks that you'd like to create. The list could include stories or lyrics you'd like to record and/or ideas for audio fanworks you'd like to create from scratch (such as filk or oral notfic you'd like to create or stories you'd like to write and then record). Each player may only make one list, and the list must be posted in #high-five before you start creating any of the audio fanworks. Each audio fanwork you make off your list earns points.
PILLAR TO POST-PRODUCTION REMIXED [40 points, +5 if you use a writing game, +5 if at least half of a team contributes to a single submission]:
Two or more players collaborate on writing a fic, and two or more players collaborate on recording it. The minimum length of the written/recorded work is 2K. Bonus if you use a writing game such as Frantic Fanfic or The Showrunner Challenge (or a game you make up yourselves) as part of the writing process. Bonus if at least half of any team contributes.
For Frantic Fanfic, or similar games where multiple stories are written at once, all of the works created in a single writing session combine to count as a single submission, but you don't have to record every story written in that session, as long as what you do record reaches the minimum wordcount.
WEIGHTED BLANKET [30 points for each player who contributes]:
Find an author that has a blanket permission statement, but there were no podfics of their works posted on AO3 at the time this challenge began. Podfic one of their works!
FANWORK OF YOUR MASCOT [30 points for each player who contributes]:
Create a fanwork of any medium involving your team’s mascot. (If your team doesn’t have a mascot yet, step 1 for this challenge will be to choose one!) It could be fanart, text or oral not!fic backstory, podficced text, yarncraft, a cake, or something we haven’t thought of yet. Remember, until these challenges are officially revealed by mods in the Discord, please do not mention them anywhere outside the #super-secret-headquarters channel!
LENGTH BONUS for audio: +10 points if over 10 minutes, +15 points if over 30 minutes, +20 points if over an hour.
PROJECT LEAD BONUS [15 point bonus]: A player qualifies for this bonus if they: a) took the leading role in a multivoice project involving three or more Voiceteam players other than themself and b) did significantly more work than the other people involved in the project (e.g. prepared the script, organized roles, set deadlines, followed up with people, answered questions, and edited together the work).
