Disability and trans character refer to fic choice, so you should choose a fic featuring a character of that description (so you could read a Glee fic featuring Artie for disability or a fic where Kris is a trans woman or something).

If you need help finding a fic to fit that description you can ask here and people can help point you to resources or suggest fics they know.

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. [livejournal.com profile] lunch_munchy meant it as a style of reading, although I'd also accept it as a fic choice.

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 [community profile] multipodicity (originally podremix), when it was pointed out that a true remix would be editing an existing podfic rather than just rerecording it. So here you can take two different stories, or even two pre-existing podfics and turn them into a single podfic. This might work well with a two fics in the same series, you could edit the earlier fic in as flashbacks. Or you could take two similar fics and create a totally different story.

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!
