The Intangible Residuum: A Collection Of Stories is a podfic anthology, a collection of podfic stories recorded by reena jenkins and covering a wide range of authors and fandoms. The anthology was created to celebrate "atypical" stories.

From the reader:

"Once upon a time, I thought to myself, "Self, that was a really great story. And, it wasn't the usual kind of story, either. It was unique. You should podfic it!" ("You should podfic it!" is a pretty common response whenever I read a fic I enjoy... just in case you were wondering.) And then I kept reading more fanfic, and noticing more and more stories that were told atypically, and thought, "Self, you should make a podfic anthology of all the awesome 'different' stories you like so much. So, that's what this is: an anthology of several (though, by no means ALL) atypical stories. Whether it's because the story's told in a non-standard format, or if the topic of the story itself is something unique, or if it's a new writing style....all the fics in this anthology are 'different'. I don't pretend that this is a comprehensive list (there's only a dozen or so fandoms represented), but I do think that every single story presented is worth an extra listen or two..... The title is part of a Willa Cather quote: "Every fine story must leave in the mind of the sensitive reader an intangible residuum of pleasure, a cadence, a quality of voice that is exclusively the writer's own, individual, unique."

The collection consists of 24 fics from 12 fandoms. There's gen, het, and slash.

"OKAY i. have absented myself from lj/fandom for the last several months, but TODAY.
