Chromatic Characters Podfic Anthology is a multifandom podfic anthology featuring characters of color. It was modeled after Awesome Ladies Podfic Anthology, with readers invited to submit short recordings fitting the theme that would be then edited together and made available as a single podbook.
The anthology is organized by blackglass and miss_marina95.
Submission rules:
- Each reader can make up to 5 podfics to include in the anthology (though an unlimited number may be included in the spreadsheet/AO3 collection), and each story should be no more than 1500 words.
- All stories should focus on characters of color, including racebent characters.
- All fandoms, including rpf fandoms, are eligible.
- All podfics should be submitted in mp3 format.
- As long as it is still the day of the deadline anywhere on Earth, you are allowed to submit podfics.
- Effects are fine, but please do not use intro or outro music in the version of the podfic you submit for the Anthology (just for the sake of time—it's usually hours long, so we'd like to keep each podficlet within it to the header info we requested, the words of the story, and "the end" in order to not expand the time further. If you'd like to add in music to the version that you crosspost or that goes into the excel spreadsheet of individual podficlets, that's totally fine!
- Important note: Please make sure you read and follow the Submission Guidelines. It helps everything flow together much better, and it makes the mods' jobs so much easier![1]
