Fandom Activity
As a Moderator
- Co-creator of Behind the Pod with frecklebomb (2018)
- Ran Cover artist bingo in 2020
- Created Lower Your Damn Standards (2020), a multifandom multi-format challenge aimed at encouraging creators to post more by getting rid of their perfectionism.
Looks like most people are at least a little insecure about their fanworks. Which can get in the way of enjoying the process of creating, if you’re so focused on the perfection of the end result.
So let’s work on getting rid of those insecurities! Basically, “lower your damn standards”. By expanding your comfort zone. By making “bad” fanworks.[2]
As a Cover Artist
A Discord conversation between Annapods and Discord user Luna on the podfichat server in December 2017 originated the use of stickers on podfic cover art. Stickers were initially limited to using images of lemons to indicate ratings using the Citrus Scale, and evolved to include specific challenges, whether certain works are gifts, warnings, etc.
