Prompt gathering
So, for
three_weeks_for_dw, people were interested in both frequent meta discussion and reviews.
So, please comment to this post if there's a discussion about podfic that you'd like us to have. If you have a full fledged entry, you can tell me that you'd like to do the posting. If you just have an idea you'd be okay with me riffing on, say that and I will.
Alternately, if you'd like to review a podfic, I'd like you to comment with the name of the podfic and the date you'll post. This isn't a very serious commitment; you can blow it off without recrimination. I'd just like people to try to space the reviews out a bit, and I know that I, personally, am more likely to complete a specific act with a deadline than a general, "Oh, I should participate in that project," notion.
Remember, reviews should tell us 1) What worked 2) What didn't and 3) a podfic-metaish thing that the podfic made you think of.

Sex scenes were what got me into thinking about this, but then I started thinking about how it might apply to smaller changes. Like, let's say there's a long dialogue scene; could a podficcer add dialogue tags to make it clearer for those listening? Can a podficcer not only read the story text, but adapt it to fit the medium?
I'm not that active in podfic meta so possibly these issues have been discussed before. But I think it could be interesting, and hopefully even productive.

I'd also be interested to hear what people's takes are on typos and small errors within the text. I know I've run across a couple fics that are great stories but I've been put off from podficing them since I noticed a couple such errors and didn't want to deal with having to either read the wrong line or change the source in my reading of it.

As for the sex getting deleted. We've had this conversations before podfic I think: there used to be quite a few folks who'd offer NC17 and PG versions of chapters or added the sex scene that underage readers could skip. My thinking on that is that if you can skip the sex scene then it wasn't necessary. Or, said differently, I think that sex scenes are not extraneous or added on but instead when done properly tell us something about the characters and their interactions (in fact, I think that a lot of emotional interaction is played out metaphorically in the physicality of those scenes). So I'm pretty sure I'd not edit/censor/change a story upon reading. [And I realize I'm commenting on the OP rather than your point...]
