Amplirecathon Sign-Ups!
Welcome to the Amplirecathon, a podfic recs fest! All podfic enthusiasts are welcome and encouraged to sign up.
Here's how it's going to work:
The festival will last 2 weeks, beginning Jan 18 and ending Feb 1, so grab a prompt (or make up your own, or, you know, decide to go prompt-free) and tell us the day(s) on which you plan to make your rec post(s).
Your post can be for one podfic, or for a group of podfics you've chosen to fit a theme (or, what the hell, you could rec a reader if you wanted, but you might want to call out a best example of their work) to be posted on the date you claimed during sign up. You can choose as many or as few days as you like, but we do ask that you don't claim 'em if you aren't going to use 'em.
We'd really love to hear the why, or your review of the recording, or your reaction, or the reason the reading resonates with you personally. But you needn't write an essay if that's not how you roll, so don't let that hold you back. Our goal is to point out the awesome, and to highlight things we think other people might want to give a listen. Qualified recs are awesome, but they should still be things you are recommending. :)
Prompts! An incomplete list for your inspiration:

Leave a comment to this post to claim date(s). We'll update the post to show dates claimed. Please try to pick dates that haven't already been claimed so we have a more even spread for the festival!
Edit: Hooray, we have someone signed up for every date on the Livejournal sign-up post and are filling days up on Dreamwidth!
We would love to have several posts every day if we can get them, so please feel free to request an already-claimed date.
We'd also like to mention that no matter where you've signed up, you can post your recs to either the LJ or DW community, and you can crosspost to both sites if you like!
Please spread the word! The more the merrier!
