#welcome to camp!

CAMP DAY 1

As you all pile out of the bus, encumbered by way too much luggage and new friends, you notice a large screen sat inexplicably in the center of the entrance, under an archway that says "Camp Egg". It looks like you won't be able to enter until the video finishes playing.

As the video ends, Not-Cucurucho steps out from behind the large screen and wheels it away.

He returns with a stack of papers and, one by one, he distributes them to each of you, instructing you to read it.

Cucurucho- er, Not-Cucurucho, mentions that more camper may arrive while camp is still running.

Once again, he reminds you all that if you have any questions, that you should bring them to him.

He looks at each of you, one at a time, before finally saying:

"Please proceed to your cabins. You will recieve your bandana, and your counselor will help you unpack your bags and get settled."

"I hope you enjoy Camp Egg."

Fiction Podcasts With the Most Fanworks on AO3 (As of July 24, 2025)

[JULY 2025] TOP 25 FICTION PODCASTS ON AO3 FOUND IN FANDOMS > OTHER MEDIA

The inspiration and legwork for this was heavily drawn from @bakanokiwami 's yearly Top 20 Podcasts, which they do every November. I'm literally using their whole format and criteria and everything. (I just got curious and made a 8-month update with 5 extra ranks!)

To make this ranking, all series titles in Other Media were copy-pasted to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then manually filtered since not all podcasts were marked as such. Because this was my first time running AO3 stats, I followed @toastystats 's guide, which you can find here.

The numbers in the second column indicate how much they rose/fell in the rankings based on last @bakanokiwami's November (Nov. 24, 2023) rankings, which can be found here. "new" means it's their first time appearing in a ranking. "prev" means they appeared on one of bakanokiwami's rankings from a previous year, but not the most recent one.

The numbers in the ^# light grey column represent how many fanworks it gained since bakanokiwami's November analysis 8 months ago. (I don't really know how to do retrospective counts, so I left the ranks I added blank.)

The data for this was taken while logged in, so locked fanworks are included in the count.

In bakanokiwami's yearly analysis, they exclude web series like Critical Role and Dimension 20 which release audio-only versions, but are primarily known as web-series. Out of curiosity, I've constructed a version that includes web series/other media that release podcast versions that you can find here

All nonfiction podcasts and larger franchises where audio is not the main medium have been excluded (ex. Dr. Who audio-dramas).

We have a tie for rank 24 between Unprepared Casters and Stellar Firma!

The Hotel is a genuinely new addition to the rankings!

Both Rolling With Difficulty and Unprepared Casters have been going on for a while, but are listed under Web Series on AO3. However, upon further inspection, they call themselves podcasts in their online presence and are almost exclusively audio productions, so putting them on here feels right.

All mistakes are mine and mine alone, please let me know if you catch any.

Once again, seriously go check out @bakanokiwami's analyses! They're way prettier than mine, and they get all the credit for doing the groundwork!

don't get me wrong i love the doomed yaoi men of horror fiction podcasts but i feel like theres a dissonance between the amount of doomed gay male protagonist and doomed gay female protagonists. where is the doomed yuri. please

[clown-guitar]

ALSO i love you podcasts being largely removed from the capitalistic ideas that leak into big name shows and movies i love you podcasts not feeling the need to be advertiser friendly i love you podcasts produced in someone's closet out of genuine love and passion for the project i love you so much and you mean the world to me

[2024] TOP 20 PODCASTS ON AO3 FOUND IN FANDOMS > OTHER MEDIA

To make this ranking, all series titles in Other Media were copy-pasted to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then manually filtered since not all podcasts were marked as such.

The numbers under each rank indicate how much they rose/fell in the rankings based on last year's (Nov. 24, 2023) rankings, which can be found here. NEW means it's their first time entering in the top 20. The gray numbers in parenthesis indicate how much fanworks it gained since last year.

The data for this year and last year's rankings were taken while logged in, so lcoked fanworks are included in the count.

A few web series like Critical Role and Dimensions 20 released audio-only versions of their works too, but I left them out since they were listed was a web series on ao3 and more known as one too.

All nonfiction podcasts have also been excluded (Not that there were many), because with RPFs, it’s hard to tell if the fic in question is just based on the podcast or because of the things the person has done outside of it.

Stella Firma ranks 21st in the rankings this year, dropping 5 places from last year. (Figured they deserve a special mention since The Magnus Protocol is technically under The Magnus Archives).

Still keeping A. Walker, et. al. as is for the f@tt fans.😂❤

Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏

ETA: Typo at Rank 15! Campaign dropped 1 rank, not 3. Sorry about that!

It has come to my attention that people have been using my mspaint doodle as a reaction image- and I'm flattered however I realized I didn't sign it so I made a signed version. Use this one instead please and thank you!!

Drawn while listening to Malevolent, but can apply to a wide variety of horror podcasts or listening experiences. I'll tag a few for safe measure

Fiction podcast people, I need your help

I want to know which fiction podcast made you cry (like actual tears)

Both because I want to feel Emotions and because I’m nosy

Doesn’t matter if I’ve listened to it (putting the podcasts I’ve listened to in the tags), I’m just curious :3
