Would it eventually be archived in its standard form on the AO3 or a similar site?
I am thinking yes, after a month it would be posted and archived like normal? Like, that might step on the point we were making a little bit, but I think it would be unfair to the author to ask them not to do that. And as you say, long-term archiving potential is a consideration as well.
Re: the writing being different, I suppose authors and podficcers would need to experiment a bit to get a feel for that. This gets into question 6 above. I could see it being written as a monologue, which would look different than most fics (at least because few fics I see these days are first-person). Or perhaps more like a notfic than a normal fic—I just made a podfic of a notfic, and it did feel in some ways much more natural to speak aloud (with the exception of the emoticons). Or would it look different from either of those two? Either way, I don't think it would be radically different from at least some of the fics out there, because fics cover such a wide range of styles and a lot of fics already have a really strong sense of voice and rhythm, which is part of what makes podficcing such a fun hobby.
Anyway, half of the point of this challenge that a friend and I are planning to run is to explore the answer to that question: what does a podfic script look like, and how is it different from a normal fic?
