	In early 2022 Draco expressed interest in reviving ''Fanfiction Factory'' as an offline show separate from Gatorbox, noting that it initially struggled to gain traction as a part of the live Friday night broadcasts. The new project was named ''Fanfiction Factory: The Podcast'' and the series consists of narrating strange and fringe fanfics. Draco is adhering to the same four rules as the original ''Fanfiction Factory'' with the exception of featuring his own work in episode 1 instead of keeping his story anonymous like the others.

	The podcast version of ''Fanfiction Factory'' debuted on Spotify on July 2, 2022. Episodes are also available from the official Fanfiction Factory channel on YouTube.

The podcast version of ''Fanfiction Factory'' debuted on Spotify on July 2, 2022. Episodes are also available from the official ''Fanfiction Factory'' channel on YouTube. At the same time to coincide with the release of the series Draco reissued his Sonic fanfic from episode one back onto Fanfiction.net both to celebrate the launch of the show as well as the story's own 20th anniversary. The final episode of the podcast's first season showcased ''Acme Acres Robot Rumble'', a story written by Richard "cartoonfan93" Riley, a friend of Draco's who passed away in 2021. A running gag established from the very first episode is how Draco is introduced with a different joke every time. The intros were recorded by Nintendolt, an amateur voice actor whom Draco hired to help build out his portfolio. Nintendolt recorded approximately 20 introductions however only ten of these were used as only that many episodes of the podcast were produced.

			''Fanfiction Factory: The Podcast'' lasted ten episodes from its first season and due to low viewership and interest the series was not prioritized to receive a second season. Draco has claimed he's outlined and sourced stories to make enough episodes to reach four seasons (10 from season one plus 30 more) and just needs to record them, though this has not happened yet.

	'''Fanfiction Factory: The Podcast''' (formerly known as '''Bad Fanfiction Theater''' and '''Fanfiction Factory''') is a miniseries produced by [[Gator Company]] where hosts read, react to, and commentate on poorly written fanfiction. It is notable for its sporadic production schedule and complications adapting to a live show format resulting in the series becoming a podcast in 2022. The podcast version of ''Fanfiction Factory'' is the series' fourth attempt at a launch and is broadcast on Spotify and YouTube.

The podcast version of ''Fanfiction Factory'' is the series' fourth attempt at a launch and is broadcast on Spotify and YouTube.

	The cover art for ''Fanfiction Factory'' consists of an iconic custom textured gear image with the show's title superimposed on it. Behind it is an infamous flame comment left on an off topic fanfic posted to Fanfiction.net's section for the sitcom ''Family Matters''.

	It is important to note that the podcast version of ''Fanfiction Factory'' is not directly a Gatorbox show; it is produced by [[Gator Company]], the same house that produces ''Gatorbox'', but the show is intentionally kept separate with its own dedicated YouTube channel. This was done to let the series stand and grow on its own rather than being propped up by Gatorbox which had failed to achieve this in the past.

	The series originally had no definite "host" and featured [[Draco]], [[~~Trustsuperjail~~]], and [[Davidmurry]] among others. Hosts normally focus on the "cringe" aspect of the stories they read and include things such as spelling and grammatical errors in their narration. The first live fanfic reading happened in September 2014, however the series did not have a proper production schedule so new additions and episodes were very sporadic. The series also formerly did not have a defined format and alternated with various presentation methods over the years. Upon its debut the show was referred to as "Bad Fanfiction Theater", however in order to avoid confusion with other projects with the same or similar name it became "Fanfiction Factory" in 2017.

	Though the show was never in regular production it still managed to spawn the [[Chocolate Wagon]] meme with a particularly bizarre fanfic of ''Dragon Tales'' in 2017.
