If you’re looking for a genre vlog-style web series, I worked on a fantasy show called The Uncanny Upshurs that I think is a lot of fun! It also does some cool stuff with the vlog framing device, with some episodes being ~magically filmed~

I’ll definitely check that out!!!!!

Do you know much about vlog-style web series? I was thinking about it today and I feel like there should be a lot more crossover with the audio drama fandoms, especially with interesting framing devices and small creators doing large stories on low budgets!

I don’t know a whole lot about them, actually! (I’ve watched TLBD, Nothing Much To Do, and Lovely Little Losers, but I was never “into” them in a fannish way?) I feel as though a lot of folks (especially on Tumblr) in podcast audio drama fandom came to it through various kinds of new media/web content, whereas I came in from the exact opposite direction of OTR and radio.

But I think you have a super good point, and I think it’s not unrelated to other traditional media that have been changed in that way by the internet and other fun new technology whatsits -- online self-publishing and web novels, for instance, or webcomics! I do think that one of the interesting things about the podcast audio drama versus the vlog is that an audio drama can often support a lot more out-there genre fiction than a web series can on the same budget. You can make an immersive spaceship sound environment in relatively little time with entirely free materials and simple foley, and the actors you populate it with don’t even have to be in the same country as you are. It’s a lot harder to do that in video, which now that I think about it might be the reason I personally never got into video web series as much as I did podcast audio drama, since my tastes skew heavily towards the most high-concept genre fiction I can get my hands on. (And of course, people do do that kind of thing in web series, and it’s incredible, I mean, there are people out there making fifty-episode runs of unofficial Star Trek shows, and that’s unbelievable.)

I do keep meaning to watch Carmilla, though.
