SPS '22 Collection Opening & Update
Jul. 23rd, 2022 07:22 pmThank you for your patience! The Summer Podfic Swap ‘22 Collection is now open for posting!
We have created an optional supplemental submission form this year: https://forms.gle/wvzYBAxVdxYvYg486
This submission form is completely optional! All Summer Podfic Swap gifts and treats only need to be submitted through the ao3 exchange. However, if you would like your podfic to be listed on our new end-of-exchange roundup post, please submit this form.
Summer Podfic Swap assignments are due by August 17th, 11:59 pm EDT, right before midnight. Please make sure you submit your gift before then!
If you would like multiple works for your recipient to be included in initial reveals, please email us, otherwise any additional works added to the collection will be considered treats.
(If you would like to make a treat for the mods, please feel free! Dear Podficcer letters for the mods can be found here and here. Any treats for the mods can be added to the collection as normal.)
Initial Summer Podfic Swap gift reveals are tentatively planned for Sunday, August 21st at 12pm EDT, noon. (This date may shift, if not all recipients have gifts by the gift submission deadline. We will let you know if any date change does occur.) Treats will be revealed a day or two after, but will also be accepted into the collection until August 31st, 11:59 pm EDT.
A note about reveals: In order for there to be both gifts and treats in the same collection, but still have separate reveals, we’re going to be using the approve / reject function to temporarily move things around. Works may be in limbo for a very brief period of time. Please don’t panic if you can’t find a particular work, it will be back shortly.
Happy podficcing!
Sincerely,
Summer Podfic Swap Mods
