I was nodding along while reading this (well, with a few caveats) - and then pulled up a little short at your comment: (There shouldn't be an issue with the writer-podficcer team receiving one gift.) Really? You don't think someone who signed up with their writer friend, or their podficcing friend, would mind that someone was trying to tailor a gift to one or the other of them? Or, somehow, both of them?
I think that a 500-word minimum for a combined new-fic-and-podfic would allay both my doubts about some gifts being larger than others, and about some participants doing more work, or to a shorter timeframe, than others. I can already see how I would adjust matching. (I'm still a bit unclear on what my mod requirements would be for organising teams of people - I assume that, mostly, people who signed up to do this would already be used to working in teams and have a partner in mind? Or plan to do both parts themselves, of course.)
On the other hand, this is likely to facilitate podfficer participance outside of podfic-specific spaces, which I personally am invested in.
Indeed - and if Jukebox's current set-up is unfriendly or unappealing to podficcers, there's not much point in me saying that podfic is included.
We will definitely agree to disagree about 3 days being sufficient to get through the collection. :) I aim to comment heavily. Further, there was only one long-ish work this year; past years have had multiple long works.
