#specific permission

[xiaokuer-schmetterling]

hey fic lovers and fic authors!

tl;dr--direct link to fanworks permission statement builder

-> DO YOU LIKE PODFIC?

or have you ever wondered: what is podfic??? and why do i keep seeing podficcers on my dash posting about permission statements?

permission statements help your creative community to know which authors do or do not welcome podfic, etc without having to ask you personally in the comments or DMs!

so: if you are a fic author--please consider adding a 'Podfic Welcome' tag and/or a blanket / partial permission / denial statement to your ao3 and / or socials profile! if you do choose to give BP, there is a 'Blanket Permission' tag on ao3 too

(also applicable if you are a fic aficionado who has a verrrrry fav that you want podfic or other follow-on fanworks made of lol pls consider gently suggesting a profile permission stmt to that author)

-> you can use my ao3 profile, or my fandom bestie @maelstrom-of-emotions ao3 page for some examples of permission statements

-OR-

if you prefer, here is a helpful resource that walks you thru how to build a specific permission statement! LINK

and ​btw! this is especially important for podficcers in particular bc podfic is defined on ao3 as derivative work and cannot legally be posted to ao3 without specific author permission!!!

additional thoughts in part 2

*ps. if this post inspires you to make an update to your ao3 or other author profile, pls lmk in replies or rbs bc i'm curious lol*
