Hey all,
This is my annual Pod_Together Podfic Penceive Project post! You are all invited! This is a project that is pretty specific and also really experimental. We've done it for several years running and every time I have been stunned at the amount of awesome that we've come up with!! The focus is on memory and creation (I've included the basic instructions below). I've run this before and the collection of finished works is up on AO3 if you want to check out the kind of finished products this makes. Let me know if you are interested!

Please sit back and relax. This is one of a number of transmissions you will receive. You may read this as fast or as slow as you wish but please read it only once. Please do not take notes or talk about it on social media or record it while you read. This piece is about your memory as much as it is about my writing. However, it is not a memory test. Don't memorize it word for word (unless you want to). What you choose to focus on and what you pass over and what your brain makes up to fill the gaps is as much a part of the story as the text itself. After reading you can choose when to record it. It can be immediately after, or you could wait several days, or you could wait until after the final transmission, or some combination, or something I have not thought of.

The transmission you are about to read is one of a number and may not be in chronological order (with the others or within itself). It may shift tense and point of view. The piece will build and reveal itself as the transmissions go on. Feel free to edit the final product as much (sound effects or music or whatever else you can imagine) or as little (raw recordings) as you want. Now please, sit back and enjoy:

I want this to be a low stress project; you can put as much or as little effort into this as you want. "Transmissions" will go out once a week (there will be 4-5) as soon as I finish writing the whole thing. You can do major editing or you can leave the audio completely raw.

This runs as part of the Pod_Together podfic challenge but I take care of that side of things. (Unless you want to check in, you don't have to.) Pencieve podfic is also meant to be as low pressure as possible. As long as I have one (1) person finish, the project is a go - which means that if you want to sign up and check it out but find it too much, you can drop out without worrying. Or you could keep reading each transmission as it comes out but not think about it much until after all your other projects are done...for extra chaos.

Participants PLEASE get me your emails. I need them for the sign up. We have a discord server for planning and general communication during the project so I'd love your contact info for there too.
