Where Is All The Podfic?
Gah! I've been looking through the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
amplificathon archives - why is 90% of podfic slash? (!!!???) I'm currently on "skip=100" on the "archived" tag and I have found three stories which aren't slash, in fandoms I know. Four if you count the one which I already got from elsewhere.
All the Sherlock podfic there is John/Sherlock.
All the ST:Reboot podfic there is Jim/Spock.
All the Harry Potter podfic there is either Harry/Draco or Harry/Snape.
Then we have the huge amount of Supernatural slash. And the Avengers slash. And the Merlin slash. And the Inception slash. And the RPF slash. And the fandoms-I'd-never-heard-of-before slash (e.g. Teen Wolf). And of course the one single Man From UNCLE story was... slash.
Oh, I think there was one Magnificent 7 gen story. And, astonishingly, one Supernatural gen story. But I don't follow Mag7 or SPN.
(sigh)
Maybe I need to learn how to make podfic. But I have so many other things I want to do instead. (sigh)

no subject
Many authors give blanket permission to podfic their work. If they aren't on that list, you can check their profile or author page, since I doubt that list is exhaustive (e.g. I give blanket permission myself, but I'm not on that list). Otherwise, yes, it's only polite to ask. I doubt that many authors are around who are completely uncontactable.
As for where to put it, the biggest archive (possibly the ONLY archive) is http://www.audiofic.jinjurly.com/ and you can check out the http://www.audiofic.jinjurly.com/how-do-i-submit-recording page for instructions.
Yay!
