We have turned the ever-lovely Waffles’ Portal fanfiction into an audiofic. Full-blown audiobook stuff and everything. We currently have a full cast, three co-producers/directors, a coder, a sound effects team and several people with musical experience on board. We will be really glad to take your thoughts and advice. This would be nothing without the fanbase of this fic, of course, and your opinion means the world to us. Follow us on Tumblr for more exclusive content and updates!
