Do you podfic? Yes!
How did you learn about about podfic? I didn't even know there was a name for it back then. A friend recorded a fan fic as an Easter present for me about three years ago. Then I kept running into 'dramatic readings' on YouTube (usually of bad!fic). Then there was that first attempt at an audio version of Tales from the House of the Moon (on Youtube)... Eventually, I got into Supernatural fandom and was looking for recs for fics and found one with an audio version available ('Anything Worth Dying For' by waldorph , read by 2naonh3_cl2 ). This was about two years ago? Not sure, might have been less. Anyway, it was a really nice shock to me to find that audio fan fics were a *thing* (and that there was a name for them and an archive) and, most importantly, that I actually enjoyed listening to stuff read by other women :O (I hadn't had very pleasant experiences with audiobooks read by women before. They always sounded so... artificial...) Those first podficcers I listened to got most of my 'OMG! I never expected female readers to be GOOD!" comments and flailing. I've gotten used to the idea in the meantime and have become more critical of male readers' skills :P
If you podfic, how did you get started? Last year during my final final exam season. I was stressed, I has hurting, I had a dissertation to prepare that I wasn't physically able to work on and I had just spent most of the night staring at a blank Word document. It was 4am and I had been meaning to try and record a podfic for about a year then, so I just did. I had to go back and re-edit it six months later because I had been so unsettled by having to listen to my own voice when I first edited it, that I accidentally forgot to take out some re-takes.
Favorite podfic reader(s)? 2naonh3_cl2, FayJay, exmanhater, kalakirya, lunchee, Jenna Corinth, reena_jenkins, Tenoko, Alchemynerd
Favorite podfics? ANY version of 'Important Angel Business' is my default comfort!pod, 'Go the Fuck to Sleep, Sherlock' read by lunchee for when I can't sleep (no, really), 'Thursday's Child' read by alchemynerd (aka the fic that broke me. There is nothing the writers of Supernatural can throw at me that would break my heart more than this story did and it's probably the longest podfic I've listened to so far), 'Metaphysical Gravity' read by Jenna Corinth and 'Backup Copies' read by lunchee
What length podfic do you prefer? Any length, really. I used to avoid shorter podfics at first, but now I don't really mind if a story is 1min long or 12h long.
When do you listen to podfic? Long bus trips, short bus trips, any time I have to leave the house on my own, when ding chores, while editing photos... whenever I can get away with not listening to what's going on around me.
What genre do you prefer? Fluff, crack, the darkest of dark fic and anything in between (but you'll have to convince me if it's Wincest or it contains mpreg)
Do you listen to podfic in one fandom more than another? Mostly Supernatural, Teen Wolf and Avengers. I only listen to podfic when it comes to Sherlock. But I listen to other stuff as well.
Do you listen to podfic outside your own fandoms?If a reader I like starts recording in a fandom I'm not in, I might give it a shot (that's one of the reasons I started watching Dollhouse and Teen Wolf and read Sunshine). Or if it's a fandom I'm at least familiar with.


Sorry for the crappy formatting. I'll get back later to add links and stuff. It's 2am and I really shouldn't be online at this hour.
