Love the discussion of the inclusivity of the archive. That's pretty much my origin story right there: Was interested in recording fic and went looking for a community, but the only one I found was podslash, whose FAQ came off as rather grudging in their allowance of non-slash works, so it didn't seem like there'd be an audience for my gen-centric, hurt/comfort-lovin' efforts if I tried. Skip ahead a year or two, I go looking again, and now there's an archive and amplificathon explicitly talking about expanding the scope of podfic in ALL areas of fanfiction. I happened to be wild about a fandom that didn't have any entries in the archive at that time, and that gave me the boost to see it as a hole that I could fill, rather than proof of a lack of audience. :)
