All right everyone, the cards have been made! I have the HTML done and am about to start posting them momentarily. Are you all as excited as I am? :D
But a few things before I start posting. First of all, if you haven't already, now would be a good time to read over the FAQs (aka the rules post).
Now, I tried to keep the descriptions on the prompts short for two reasons: 1. so that they'd fit on the card and 2. so that you'd have room to play with them. However if you get a prompt that you're not sure how to interpret you can check out the brainstorming posts on both LJ and on DW.
If that doesn't work, you can ask here. I'm opening this post us as a resource post. Some of the prompts might fall outside of what you know, you can come here and ask for help and/or offer help to others who need it. If you need help with tech stuff, fic choice, collaboration, etc. come here. :)

So if there's the line "What?" he said, laughing.
You would laugh when you read "What" and would follow it with "he said" instead of "he said, laughing."

Date: 2011-01-31 06:45 pm (UTC)I'll poke at the various ideas for random that I have. I'm aiming for a blackout, so poking has to happen.
(I need more icons which aren't related to my name.)

To abridge a story is to shorten a it, to edit out parts or simplify them so you can tell the story in a shorter period of time.
Here's the thread where Repod was suggested and discussed. But basically the idea is that you make a podfic of a story that has already been podficced, except you're not allowed to read the text, you have to record it based entirely on listening to the pre-existing podfic.
The explanation for Gossip is also in that thread.
Here's the comment that suggested that prompt. The different medium refers to the medium of your fandom, so if you're in media fandom, try reading for a book fandom.
Splicing fics together is pretty much what it sounds like. You take two different fics and merge them into one podfic. This idea came from when I ran
Radio Plays use a style of recording that relies on sound effects and voices to tell the story, rather than a narrative. Most often there isn't a narrator so any cues as to setting, emotions, action sequences, etc. must be conveyed through dialogue or sound effects.
Hope that helps! All the prompts are flexible though, so if you want to do something differently and can justify how it's related to your prompt, go for it!

Date: 2012-05-05 06:35 am (UTC)Read Sleepily - does that mean that I should pretend or that I should record while being tired?
Read Drunkenly - um same as above, pretend or a bit tipsy?
Incorporate Physical Sound - should it be a sound that I make while recording or can it be a sound that is added in the editing (doorbells, ringtones the like)?

The first two I had both those interpretations in mind when they were created (I deliberately changed Read Drunkenly so it would be open to both, since there are people who can't/won't drink alcohol that might get that square).
For Incorporate Physical Sound I had the former in mind, but editing somethingin later works too. :)

Thank you, mods, you're doing a great job running this awesome community!

Date: 2012-07-24 06:27 pm (UTC)Out of order can mean a couple different things. Maybe you rearranged the fic, so your podfic has scenes in different order than the written fic does. Or you can just record the podfic out of order, start with the ending scene, for example, then work your way forward.
Character of Colour means you record a fic featuring a Character of Colour.
Yuletide can be a theme in the story, or you could record a fic that was written for Yuletide.

Also for yuletide does that mean reading a yuletide story?
