THIS will be sooo good for my soundboard. Those online sessions are about to become even better :D

First music, then voice modifiers… Now this. Perfect.

Also, I’m pretty sure it can be used for a lot of other activities.

Here is my entry for the Awesome Ladies Podfic Anthology VI! The version in the anthology doesn’t have music or soundscaping, so here’s the version that includes both those things. Needless to say, I personally favor this version.

So, so many thanks to the admins who run ALPA every year and to the lovely @kurogabae for giving me permission to pod their work. I had so much fun making this! Further details and attribution under the cut.

I always thought they were just random sounds. That’s kind of mind-blowing.

This is a quick clip from the beginning of one of my podfics. The first half was recorded on the internal microphone on my laptop. The second half is the same words read into a decent external mic. This should give at least a rough-and-ready comparison.

the saddest moment in podfic

Podfic reader: Thanks for listening!

Me: No, wait, come back, tell me more!

Listening to a podfic whilst scrolling through tumblr is another level of fandom awesomeness.

Podfic Stats! Tracking how the creation and sharing of podfics has changed since the creation of our two main archives: the Audiofic Archive and AO3. I scrapped the works with the Podfic tag on  AO3 and all works on the audiofic archive last night, evaluated the number of overlapping works* and produced the graphs above.

Across these two sources, there are over 18000 podfics on the internet, the work of over 1500 readers (conservative) in nearly 1800 fandoms. 

There are stories behind these numbers, like the quiet of late 2011 and the compensating jump in early 2012. 

How is it that the number of readers active on the audiofic archive has been fairly steady for years, while the number posting on AO3 has grown substantially? Are new podficcers share their work there first?

How is it that fandoms podficced have expanded much more quickly than the number of podficcers? 

Which podficcing events are driving the seasonal peaks?

Suggestions for further analyses are most welcome, as are questions as to how this data was gathered. The summaries behind these graphs are available on this spreadsheet. The databases also include reads and kudos and tags where they exist.

HEEEYY, I’ve created a short little survey about podfic! I want to get an idea of who listens (or doesn’t listen) to podfic and how they’re involved in fandom. 

Please take it here! I’m interested to see how many people listen to podfic and participate in that part of the fandom. I’ve made the responses doc public here for anybody who is also curious. 

It’s a real short survey for now, but if you think of anything I should add or change, just drop me me a message in my ask or tweet at me. Please reblog this - getting as many responses as possible is the way to get truly representative results.

An Exercise in Worthless

for Cakebang

Supernatural

TEXT | PODFIC

Author: Beastofthesky

Reader: Skyunicorn

Length: 3:20:46 hours

Characters: Dean Winchester, Castiel, Sam Winchester, 

Summary: 

"I mean, you’re–” He gestures at Cas, in his neat oxford shirt and nice pants. “–and I’m a high school dropout who tattoos for a living.”

Wherein Dean makes a hefty living as a tattoo artist who owns the space next to Gabriel's cafe. Sam attends the local university. When Gabe's cousin comes to live with him while starting grad school at Sam's university, Dean thinks for sure that all his negative karma's coming to bite him in the ass because Cas clearly has a thing for Sam. No one would ever choose him over Sam. That's just logic.
