Blanket permission

You might know what blanket permission/statement means, but if not, here’s a handy Fanlore link. If you are active in fandom, please consider having one of your own (it can also be a blanket no to the use of your work, or yes to fanart, no to podfic, for example) and/or adding the “blanket permission” tag when posting on AO3, if applicable. You might be saving a podficcer’s life, or making things easier for people who might be anxious about contacting someone for the first time to ask for permission.

Blanket permission statement
If you want to create any kind of transformative work from my own (podfic, translation, fanart, repod, fanmix, moodboard or anything else) you have my enthusiastic consent and support! This includes using my tumblr headcanons and plotbunnies as prompts.
If podficcing my written works, you can remove dialogue tags, change words to improve the flow or make pronunciation easier. Feel free to make more substantial changes too (it's a transformative work, after all! transform away!), but in that case please do put a note somewhere saying you changed the text.
Feel free to make covers for any podfic of mine that doesn't already have one - or make alternative covers for those that do, actually, if you'd like! (you're here for Coverart Bingo, aren't you? I've got your back.)
If I collaborate with someone, please check their policy if they have one or ask them about using our work.
Please credit me/link back and message me once you post, I'll be super excited to have inspired something!

 

And finally, since the Fanlore article gave me the idea, this will also include the fact that I welcome concrit, from pointing out spelling mistakes to plot holes. And definitely pronunciation errors in my podfic, do point those out and don’t feel like you’re being mean (or racist (?). I know I have an accent, but I still want to pronounce things in a way that makes them as close to universally understandable as possible).
