podfic

Podfic is the practice of recording and sharing audio versions of written stories, often from fan fiction communities. Fans read aloud existing textual stories, turning them into podcasts or audio files that others can listen to. This allows listeners to experience the story through narration, often adding emotional tone and personality. Podfic facilitates accessibility, as it provides an alternative way to enjoy stories for those who prefer audio or have visual impairments. It also fosters community engagement, allowing narrators and listeners to connect over shared interests and creativity within fan-based storytelling.
