Hi! A couple of people have asked me about binding policies etc, so here is my official stance on everything I can think of. This can also be found on my AO3 profile.
Binding I'm thrilled to see bindings of my work, as long as it's not for profit in any way. This includes charity auctions, commissions, binding as "gifts for patreons" etc. Binding for personal use, gifts for friends, or binding exchanges with friends are fine by me.
Please let me know if you bind anything of mine, I'd love to see the finished result so much ❤️
Art You could send me a stickman drawing captioned in Comic Sans and I would cry ugly tears of joy.
AI This is a hard no. Please do not use my work in any kind of AI programme. This includes using fragments of text to generate AI images. This is not the venue for a huge post on my feelings on AI, but I'm very much against it for any creative uses at all, so basically if it has any relation to AI in any way it'll be a no from me.
Goodreads / Storygraph I would really rather you didn't post my work on any of these platforms. This, for me, is really about the context of comments. These platforms are used for reviews, while I interact with people on AO3 as conversations. Personally I see zero value in reviews in a fanfic space. So many works are crack one-shots, or inspired by a single phrase or a song title. Published books, no matter how "bad" you might think they are, are picked up and published based on their marketability. They are professional works, edited and proofed and targeted at a specific demographic. My fanfics are a dream I had inspired by a trope and too much caffeine.
Downloading Go nuts. If you have the patience to wait for a story to be completed before downloading it to your Kindle and reading it in one go, more power to you! That said do please drop by the comments and say something, even if it's just "EARARAGHGRHAGRHGHG!!!!"
