The PokePod Project

All this year's podfics are in! The next step is compiling the anthology audiobook, which is on track to be revealed 9 October at 20:00PM (UTC) along with the main collection. (We'll post a reminder nearer the time to redate your works.)

Thank you so much to all the podficcers, writers, and superstar pinch hitters who made this possible.

Our Rare Candies collection for this year will also be revealed along with the main collection, so if you’ve any generation two treats in you, that’s the place to post them.

Well done everyone! See you in just under a week 💙

All podficcer assignments have now been sent via email. If you haven’t received yours (and it’s not in your spam/junk folder), please contact us confirming your AO3 username and email address. The deadline for podfics is Sunday 28 September, 20:00PM UTC.

Adopt-a-Pokemon (aka pinch hits) will be posted shortly.

We hope you enjoy your assignments! Happy podficcing🎙️💙

There are a little under 24 hours remaining for writers to sign up to The PokePod Project. Signups close at 20:00PM UTC on Wednesday 20 August. Here’s a countdown to that time.

As a reminder, podficcer signups are open throughout the writing period and close 12 September!

You can find our signup post here.

Unfortunately, there will be a 2-hour delay for reveals. The new reveals time will be 22:00PM UTC.

The Internet Archive is down, and many podficcers use this to host their audio files and cover art, so if we revealed now, a large percentage of the collection's podfics wouldn't be visible. We want everyone to experience the same reveals exciement! Our anthology also uses the Internet Archive for hosting, so our reveals post would essentially be a "coming soon" if we revealed now 😂

We have our fingers crossed that everything will be back online within two hours (this is very rare!) and thank you all for your patience!

All podfics are in! The next step is compiling the anthology audiobook, which is on track to be released on Tuesday at 20:00PM UTC along with the main collection reveal. Thank you so much to all the podficcers and podfic pinch hitters who came together to produce 151 podfics in two weeks!

In the meantime, we suggest updating your AO3 profile to include "Podfic welcome" if you don't already have a statement. This is not compulsory for the project, though we have a podficcer helper on hand who has volunteered to go through all creator profiles from this project after reveals and, if a podfic statement is found, add those creators to www.fpslist.org This site is a directory of podfic permission statements by fanwork creators and extremely helpful for podficcers to find works to record. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask them here. Thank you JocundaSykes for your kind assistance with this!

The Rare Candies collection will also be revealed on Tuesday, so if you've any generation one treats in you, that's the place to post them.

We have also just posted podficcer signup stats to our Tumblr, where an unexpected Pokemon comes out on top when it comes to podficcer's favourites. Here's the writer stats for comparison.

Well done everyone! See you on Tuesday 💚

There is a little under 24 hours remaining for writers to sign up to The PokePod Project. Signups close at 20:00PM UTC on Sunday 25 August. Here’s a countdown to that time.

As a reminder, podficcer signups are open throughout the writing period and close 17 September!

We have added clarification to our rule on archive warnings.

The rule now reads:

Works should not include any of AO3’s archive warnings (Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con, and Underage.) Canon-typical violence, such as battling, is fine. Canonical themes of death and grief, such as the ghosts of Pokemon Tower or Cubone's deceased mother, are fine.

The bolded text is the newly added clarification. 

Thank you!
