Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

Speaking very broadly without knowledge of the specific work in question, I'd put the story in Fanfic and note the podcast as the author.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
If additional context might make a difference: the people who make the podcast, which normally reviews Doctor Who episodes and other works, created their own homemade Doctor Who audiobook and released it as four parts in lieu of their regular episodes.
In reference to works that start as audiobooks (and may or may not become written versions), I've been making them in the Literature namespace. Since works that would go in Literature except for issues of copyright go into Fanfic, that would seem the appropriate namespace.
The only other namespace I think would be appropriate is Recap, since they are episodes of the podcast. Link to TRS threads in project mode here.
I'm inclined more towards Fanfic since, while recap is definitely an option, they've advertised this as its own thing.
I think the Fanfic/ namespace was always used strictly for fan works in written form. (And Fanwork/ isn't a valid namespace at all.)
A work that started as audiobooks would rather be in the AudioPlay/ namespace.
Even when that work is, itself, fanmade?
With the exception of Fanfic/ (used instead of the Literature/ namespace), Fan Works still have the namespace of the media they belong to (see the various Fan Works indexes for examples).
So, they are under Fanfic/ if in written form, or any other relevant one (AudioPlay/, WebVideo/, WebAnimation/ Roleplay/, Podcast/, etc.) otherwise.

AudioPlay/ namespace? I'm not familiar with that.
*Checks out Audio Play*
Based on the multiple Doctor Who stories indexed there, that sounds like a good answer. Before I start correcting the audiobook pages I made, I'd like an explanation of this part of the description:
Keep in mind that we have a precedent for this—and within the same fandom, no less!
Doctor Who Audio Visuals is in AudioPlay/, so it makes sense that the OP's proposed page should also go there.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
I was already inclined towards AudioPlay anyway, but thanks for confirming that is definitely the way to go, bwburke94
I'm tinkering with the idea of creating a page for a Doctor Who fan story produced by the podcast Who Back When, but I'm not sure what namespace it falls under.
Would it be Podcast, since it was made by and released as part of the podcast's regular episodes? Or would it be a fanwork namespace since it was created entirely by fans of the show and is no way official? Or is there something ride I'm missing?
