So, the interesting thing about being a femslash podficcer is that while I don't really get a lot of feedback, that's generally true even when I record m/m or dude-centric gen. It's too simplistic to say that fanworkers who work in other media only do it for the comments, but podficcers don't record for that reason. If we did, the Audiofic Archive would be significantly smaller!
f/f is a sizeable portion of what I record (bigger than m/m, which tends to only pop up in collabs), but not as common as het or gen and I think a lot of that is down to the numbers game. I don't often write and when I do, it's almost always slice-of-life gen, so I rely pretty exclusively on what other people have written to get me by. Personally, I might record more f/f if there were more of it to read and subsequently, more of it to twig my "MUST RECORD" buttons. Other people making more f/f podfic is always a joy, but I was doing it consistently before there was really anyone else doing the same.
I run an f/f (and another f+f) podfic fest every year around IDF. We had poor turnout our first year and a solid turnout the second. We'll see if we can keep growing this year! I think that most of us keep at it because much like making the decision to podfic in the first place, we do it out of sheer joy and love for the fanworks and characters.
