I'm fairly multi-fannish, but even as someone who is fairly indiscriminate when it comes to fandoms in podfic, I often overlook the tiny fandoms. These are the fandoms where you know the canon, but they are almost too tiny to actually… um… be in, if you know what I mean. Because of this, it's so easy to see someone post in them and to let my gaze flick down to the fandoms I'm more familiar with. The ones I regularly download.
Happily (for me at least), I know this is my tendency, so every now and again, I go to the Audiofic Archive and search out the podfics in fandoms whose canon I know, but only have a couple podfics made in them. These podfics are often tiny in length as well as fandom, so I'll download a whole heap of them, and put together a makeshift audiobook anthology, load it up on my iPod and then… almost unfailingly… I am delighted, moved to laughter, moved to tears, reliving stories and characters I thought I had long forgotten.
There is a pleasure in re-discovering the characters and worlds of these tiny fandoms that is as great, in a different way, as the pleasure I get from the fandoms I am well entrenched in. I listen to them differently, I think because I don't have a heap of fanon coloring my interpretation (not that I don't love fanon). I find myself more willing to be surprised and I find myself listening more carefully because I come into it with very few preconceived notions of what fics in these fandoms are like.
So here is a baker's dozen of podfics in itty-bitty fandoms, where there are only a couple podfics available. There are more, so many more, and pruning this post down was a painful exercise, but I didn't want it to get out of control. So I guess I'll say, let these podfics open the door to trying out the podfics in tiny fandoms, then go to the archive, and search out the rest. You won't regret it.
Note: Because these are tiny fandoms, I've also added a bit called "Fandom Knowledge Needed?" I might not be the best judge of this, since I have knowledge of (almost) all these fandoms already, but I did my best to make a guess as to whether or not you need fandom knowledge to enjoy the podfic or not. And if you need just a tiny bit of knowledge, I try to give that as well.
