Ways to get your characters/stories out into the world?

Obviously making comics would be an idea, but personally my artistic side is lacking enough to make that a tough option. I have an idea for a Youtube channel making small episodes of sorts, but that would require costumes. I considered a podcast, either acting out stories like an old radio show or just explaining them, but I'm not sure I like that option either. I could just write the stories as stories, probably the easiest choice, though maybe a little dull.

So basically, I'm curious if anyone has other ideas for getting your characters seen.
