Out of the Auditary returns for another year! This is a fest for podficcing works that don't fit into the "standard" fiction format, such as meta, not!fic, epistolary and chatfic, video game codes entries, fake scientific articles, poetry, and many more! Rules and details are here on AO3 (and I am happy to answer any additional questions); submission deadline is April 29th, 2024! If you'd like examples as to what was created for this fest in previous years, check out the parent collection.
