Huh. Would you like to expand on your preference for a 1-3-day anon period? To me, 1 or 2 days is not at all a fair chance to go through the works, and doesn't feel like much of a buffer if one wants to gauge a work's reception before potentially putting it in an anonymous collection, which is one use I have seen people cite for the anon period.
(Though to be honest, I am unlikely to make it that short anyway.)
I can see some upsides and downsides for a pod-together version. It would be preferable to offer podfic artists a way to participate that matched existing podfic challenges more closely. But I am not sure how I feel about some people in an exchange getting a written fic, and some people getting both a written and a recorded fic - that feels unequal. It would seem seem to mean that some participants had less time for their assignment than others, and that certain people's assignments would depend on two people fulfilling their part of the work, while others just one... Hm. I don't know. It sounds like running podfic as a mini-challenge within the challenge, which may be what I'm doing anyway, but I am wary of the idea.
The podfic option may need a bit of reworking, though. Yeah, quite probably... Could you suggest where the largest obstacles or discouragements lie, in this year's set-up?
