ReMoPodMo 2019 - Track 8 - Intro & FAQ

Sun, 31 Mar 2019 03:57:17 GMT

Posted by: growlery

What is this anyway?
ReMoPodMo - Record More Podfic Month - is a challenge to encourage the creation of podfic. You, the podficcer, make a commitment to spend a certain number of minutes a day working on any part of your projects. We, the community, support you in your daily endeavours!

What's a "track"?
Track is the word we use to describe a round of ReMoPodMo. We're an audio community and your moderators wanted to be cutesy and play off of the term used on most audio CDs.

What do I get out of this?
Hopefully, lots and lots of podfic! Also, it's a structured atmosphere with a loose rule set and like-minded people to help you stay motivated and on track.

How many minutes to I have to commit to doing each day?
You can commit to as little as 10 minutes. After that, the sky's the limit, but try to keep it achievable. We've also had members commit to different minute counts on different days (for example, 20 minutes on weekdays and 300 minutes on weekends).

What parts of the podficcing process can I put my minutes toward?
Anything that's helpful to you and involves your active participation, from re-reading the story in review, to recording, to editing and/or adding in music and effects. Rendering (the process of converting .aup or .band file to .mp3 format) time doesn't count! You're not doing any work ;)

Didn't this used to run on LiveJournal? Are you on Tumblr?
Twitter?
We did used to run on LJ and you can still find the archive of past tracks there. We opened up the community on this platform for Track 2 and as the sign-up tide turned overwhelmingly toward DreamWidth, so did we. You can find us on Twitter ReMoPodMo.

What's a "check-in"? How do I do it?
By noon BST during every day of a ReMoPodMo month, a moderator will put up a post asking you to leave your minutes. Those are the daily check-in posts and leaving a comment with your minute count (whether it's under, over, or bang on) is all you need to do. Feel free to tell us about what you're working, what frustrated you or made you happy about your work, or anything else that's relevant to your podficcing. You should also feel free to reply to other people's threads with commiseration or words of support.

Are you keeping a spreadsheet of our minutes?
No, but if there's enough interest, that's something that might change during future tracks.

So is anyone keeping track of whether I meet my daily goals?
Yes. Your moderators are in and out of the daily check-in posts to reply to check-ins, but we're not keeping formal tabs.

Wait, so who are the mods?
Your Track 8 mod team is currently just growlery, though if you'd like to help out, feel free to get in touch!

Will the mods remind me to do my daily minutes?
No. That part is up to you.

What if I put in minutes, but forget to log them the day of?
Not a problem! Go back to the appropriate post and leave a comment.

What happens if I don't meet my daily goal?
That's okay! If you miss Day 10, come back strong on Day 11, or as soon as you're able. Missing a day or even every day won't restrict your participation in future tracks.

So when is this running?
This year, ReMoPodMo will run from 1st May to 31st May. A sign-up post will open closer to that time.

Mod Help Needed

Mon, 10 Mar 2014 03:10:32 GMT

Posted by: remopodmo_mod

Hello PodMoers!

The Amplificathon 2014 posts have just gone live and that means you can expect a formal Track 7 (running during at least part of April) announcement soon!

To help make sure this goes as smoothly as possible, the moderators need your help. We're looking for a volunteer to join the team to run a week's worth of check-in posts. No previous mod experience necessary; we're more concerned with finding someone friendly who's able to commit to daily posting and commenting for seven days.

Please contact cantarina or croissantkatie if you're interested! Come help us make Track 7 awesome :)

Update on Check-Ins

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:10:18 GMT

Posted by: cantarina

Hi PodMo'ers!

By now, you've all noticed the erratic posting schedule. I'd like to apologize with that; I've been struggling with some bad health and it's been slowing me down on all fronts. I'm sorry that I've let it affect the community!

In an effort to get this Track organized, sly_hostetter has graciously agreed to come aboard and step up on the days I'm not able to handle in the check-in posts. Please treat her posts as you'd treat mine!

In the meantime, happy podficcing :)

Reminder - ReMoPodMo Track 4 Starts TOMORROW

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 21:27:43 GMT

Posted by: cantarina

Hello remopodmod podficcers!

This is your reminder that today is the last day to sign-up or if you've already done that, that the challenge starts TOMORROW (or even today, for any of you in EEST on!) So double-check your stated goals, get your bottle filled up, and get ready to record and edit. Remember, any part of the podficcing process which involves your ACTIVE PARTICIPATION may be counted toward your daily minutes! (If you want to use your time to give yourself the boost you need to post your podfic, that's fine, but it shouldn't make up your entire day's minute count. I'll leave the exact "approved ratio" to your individual discretion.)

If you've got any questions, please feel free to leave them here or to PM me.

I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you on the April 1st check-in post!

Track 2 Wrap Up

Wed, 22 Jun 2011 15:55:38 GMT

Posted by: cantarina

I'm calling the official end to Track 2! If you haven't checked-in on any given day, you're now past the deadline to do so.

Thank you to all of you for being so enthusiastic about this Track of remopodmo. We had as many people stick with us all month as we had total sign-ups during Track 1 and two or three participants even clocked 8+ hour days! Special thanks go out to paraka, for all sorts of behind-the-scenes and day-of posting help.

Hope to see all of you again sometime before December for Track 3 :)

Podders! Welcome!

Two things before we start tomorrow with the first of the daily check-ins :)

1) Sign-Ups

We've had a good number of sign-ups so far, but this is your reminder that signs up close today. If you haven't made your commitment yet, you've got fourteen hours left to do so - your deadline is by midnight PDT. For your convenience, here's a Time Zone Converter.
Good examples of PDT include Los Angeles, USA and Vancouver, Canada.

This way to the sign-up post!

2)Posting Daily Check-Ins

I encouraged anyone and everyone to post daily-check ins during the last track, but now that we're growing in size, I'd like to keep that activity moderated to avoid the possibility of multiple check-in posts. That said! There are a few days I'll need help to make sure the post goes up on time, including June 28 & 29 and July 8. If you can post to both the LiveJournal and Dreamwidth communities before 9am PDT (Time Zone Converter) and cover even some of those days, please leave a comment with your availability.

As ever, please leave any questions in the comments. You can also PM me or email me at wintersnap (at) fastmail.fm !
