Fanlore:Featured Article Archives/2019: Week 15
The Audiofic Archive, a multifandom podfic archive, was created and maintained by general_jinjur (also known as jinjurly). The Archive was created in 2006, specifically to host a diverse plethora of podfic, and had a specific mission statement to uplift smaller fandoms and all creators. It moved to its current domain in 2008 and rose in popularity around 2011 and 2012. In 2013, the Archive claimed to host at least 10,206 podfic, and by 2016 there was over 25,000.
In 2016, the Archive suffered a server corruption that lead to a huge file loss. While still online, the Archive is no longer actively maintained, and has run out of server space. The last files added to the Archive were uploaded in 2017. The loss of the Archive is considered a large blow to the podficcing community.
