I'll see you on the battlefield dear friend.

If you're doing this digitally, turn the layer you're on to "multiply" and then shade them with the same color as their flat color skin tone, or with a different color that ISN'T black or grey 👍🏾 also, if you give the character a layer for an undertone, it will breathe literal life into how their skin looks.

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

The inspiration and legwork for this was heavily drawn from @bakanokiwami 's Top 20 Podcasts.

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. 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 since my July 24, 2025 rankings. "new" means it's their first time appearing in a ranking.

The numbers in the ^# light grey column represent how many fanworks it gained since my July count. (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).

Bards of New York is a new addition to the rankings!

Our runner up, in rank 26 is Unprepared Casters with 303 fanworks.

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

Last song: Brand New Bitch by COBRAH

Currently watching: Modern Family cuz I needed a pallette cleanser. I was watching Leverage Redemption until I realized I was almost out of Noah episodes so I paused. I was watching ER before that but my brain was overloaded so I took a break

Current obsession: The Pitt and Rabbot but also just Noah. I think he's neat

Currently reading: I have fourteen current tabs open of Rabbot fics (I won't go more than 16 tabs cuz it gives me anxiety) I read a lot so I'm alternating between all 14 tabs

Currently working on: A sad Rabbot fic that is my very first slow burn and is all about grief, pining, refusing to accept things and them raising a baby.

Google search: I googled the weather in my area because I like to lay out and tan to decompress from being in my fucking head all day. It's actually something my therapist and I agreed on as a way to get me outside when my anxiety/depression get really bad.

Last Web Search: "pokopia arcade machine"

Last Song: Currently listening to "Love, Hate" by Phantom Siita. The music video for this one is also great, and I think this song really shows Ado's influence on them As I type my other answers, it's being followed by "Bisexual Anthem" by Domo Wilson (happy pride), "LGBT" by Cupcakke (happy pride x2), "Dance 'til You Stop" by Tom Cardy and Ninja Sex Party (I still genuinely love the Game Grumps), "Antonymph" by Vylet Pony (nostalgic despite never having heard it before a couple days ago), "HEWWO KITTY>:3c" by MAILPUP (a song I have been informed is unlistenable to anyone but me), and "The Slur Song" by BigfootsBiggestFan (happy pride x3)

Currently Watching: Isekai Office Worker! It's about an accountant that gets isekai'ed into a fantasy world and is really big on sorting out the kingdom's finances. Also there's a hot knight that's determined to make him take care of himself. Also they fucked to save his life. It's very much shameless yaoi

Currently Working On: I have two pieces of art I claimed for this year's DeanCas Horrorfest Reverse Bang, so I'm working on those fics! I'm also approaching 50 fics uploaded to AO3 (not counting the ones I orphaned years ago), so I'm working on finishing a fic I've been working on for literal years now so I can post it for the 50th. It's nothing impressive, but it means a lot to me at this point. Also some small craft projects irl, and I really need to finish my Art Fight ref sheets

Last Web Search: No clue, I don't have it set to save, but I do know I was looking up some of my favorite teas a little bit ago. Does that count?
