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. :)

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!
