If you are missing AO3 and are hankering for some fic, the Jinjurly Audiofic Archive is a great way to get access to archived podfic! A lot of podfic files are hosted on third party sites, and so should be up.
Enjoy!

How did I miss that squidge.org was rebuilding the old jinjurly podfic database??? And that of the 5000+ stories, they're down to under 800 still missing? Go check your old drives, my loves, and see if you have a missing fic!
People In Fandom!
We're at the point of the Jinjurly Audiofic Archive restoration that we need your help! Do you have any podfics laying around? If so, we may need a copy! Details here: https://squidgestatus.dreamwidth.org/89520.html
And feel free to signalboost to other fandom communities. THANK YOU!
Jinjurly Audiofic Archive - Help Still Needed!
Remember the Jinjurly archive that hosted a ton of podfic back in the day? It is being restored by Walter and the folks over at Squidge.org (which has been around since 1994 and is an absolute blessing). A new call for help was posted today by the squidgestatus account. They have managed to recover more than 4,300 of the 5,078 files but they're still missing nearly 800! So please take a moment to look at the updated spreadsheet noted in the post and see if you can help track down a missing podfic!
[view the post here] - Can YOU Help?
And don't forget that Squidge.org recently became a 501(c)(3) organization! If you have any extra funds, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help support all of the hard work that goes into bringing Squidge.org's valuable resources (like Jinjurly) to fandom! More information regarding donating online can be found in this post.
(Please note that I am in no way associated with the Squidge.org; I have simply admired many facets of the project since around 2000.)
the audiofic archive is back up as of August 23, 2020!!
Audiofic Archive Hype!
I now have archivist privileges on the Audiofic Archive so hey podficcers and other fandom audio creators - submit your stuff on the site to be archived! Let me do the data things! Data things bring me joy!
(This has been a message from one of your local data gremlins.)
Audiofic Archive
[ID: a divided graphic that looks like entries from the Audiofic Archive on the left, and from the Archive of Our Own on the right. On the Audiofic Archive side, the entry reads "Audiofic Archive" as the title, "founded by general_jinjur, 2006" as the author and the publishing date and has the archivist (squidgiepdx), the fandom (multi), the direct URL to the website and a quote from their "About Us" page ("So, podfic. Fanfic, read aloud") as the body. On the Archive of Our Own side, the title of the work is "AO3", the author is "podficcer" and the additional tag is "podfic". Category, fandom and summary are left empty. In the middle-top is the Fanlore logo, surrounded by the text “podtober” and a pair of wired red earbuds. /End ID]
In 2006, the Audiofic Archive was created by general_jinjur to host audio recordings of fic, a medium growing in popularity and now known as podfics.
Ten years later, a server failure led to the loss of many stories hosted on the site. Months of downtime caused conflict as volunteer archivists struggled to understand the scope of the loss and what was needed as they tried to recover files. Server space became an issue, and eventually the archive went dormant.
With time, the archive returned, hosted now by squidiepdx and reopening to submissions. For more about this extensive podfic archive including why it was so important as a hosting service, its history with the popular Amplificathon challenge, and more on the ongoing recovery process, read about the Audiofic Archive on Fanlore.
