Optional Extras
Jan. 18th, 2019 04:07 pmAs last year,
raininshadows has kindly agreed to co-ordinate a spreadsheet collating information from participants who are open to receiving works in different formats to those covered by the freeform tags used for matching. In particular: podfics, vids and interactive fiction (IF).
Please use the template below to indicate that you are such a participant, deleting sections if they're not needed.

Fandoms (one per line):
Flatland - Edwin A. Abbott
The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien
Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis
The Scarlet Pimpernel - Baroness Orczy
Open to podfic? Yes
Podfic likes: I'm pretty open to anything. Just spoken words is cool, something incorporating music or sound effects is cool, something along the lines of in-universe meta (that purports to be audio in the world of the story itself, whether radio or report or whatever) is cool.
Open to vids? Yes
Vid likes: I don't have enough experience with vids as a medium to have developed a lot of likes and dislikes, so I'm pretty much open to anything! I believe 3 of my 4 fandoms have multiple film adaptations, and I'm open to material from any of those being included whether it's a version I've seen or not.
Open to IF? Yes
IF likes: I'm equally interested in and enjoy both parser-based and choice-based. I'm just not particularly good at parser-based, so please don't make it terribly difficult (and/or include a hint function)! :-)
Also, for choice-based IF, I'll soften my character death DNW: as long as one ending (that I can pretend is the "real" one) doesn't include non-canonical major character death, it can be included in the rest of the story.
The prompts that follow are off the top of my head (well, mostly copy-pasted from being off the top of my head last year) and definitely not comprehensive:
Flatland - two dimensions certainly lends itself to parser-based exploration. Perhaps something during the Colour Revolt?
Lord of the Rings - exploring some small part of a library, or an interactive calendar, solving puzzles to help a weaver go about her day to day tasks, a CYOA for Aragorn on his first day in Rohan
Oxford Time Travel - Considering how much ability the time-space continuum has to correct itself, it might be interesting to see how that relates to the choices characters make in a choice-based fic...which ones actually have an effect, which ones get corrected, which ones are actually part of the correction but they don't know it.
The Scarlet Pimpernel - something where you take the role of the SP and have to maneuver your rescuees out of France? This would be a possibility for either choice- or parser-based, I think...
