Oh, I remember alazysod once did icons with favorite quotes from people's favorite fanfictions. I remember thinking that was really cool.

It would actually be a really fun theme for a sort of fic exchange type of thing only with fanartists (or wanna be fanartists). Where everybody gets assigned an author or a fic and has to create some sort of art inspired by it.

Poscasting... Again, I have no experience with it either.

This place, lists a few howtos. I know my mp3 player has a built in mic (kinda like a dictaphone). And livejournal has the option of voice posts where you just call a telephone number and it records your phone call to an mp3 and posts it in your journal. So maybe that would work too?

A challenge where you write a fic in somebody else's universe.

There's something like that in Supernatural fandom - spn_remix, where you're assigned another author and you take any story they've written and write something in that universe. I like the idea a lot.

I've never been a big fan of podfic, though having someone read their own story might be interesting...

Like I said, I was really surprised when I tried listen to a podcast fic for the first time and noticed that some things sounded really strange. Things that I would have read over while reading it. I don't know if those things are really annoying or just the way the person read it, but really annoying were several "as if"s and a bunch of "Green eyes did this", "Brown eyes did that"... It was probably a good story, but while listening to it, I really noticed those things.

So I wonder if it wouldn't also be an interesting thing for an author to hear their story and really hear the flaws.

I like that first one a lot. Maybe we could do something like that here at some point in the future. Definitely after pbfic_exchange2.

I probably wouldn't do the second one. I hate the sound of my voice on recordings. I sound like Minnie Mouse or something. lol. But it would be interesting if some other people do it.

Believe me, I know the feeling, I have a terrible recorded voice too.

Maybe it could be fun if we could persuade fans from different countries with therefore different accents to read a story :)
