Blanket permission again

So, say you're a fanfic writer. You watch the latest episode of your show, or something that just happened in your offline life reminds you of the book characters you've loved since you were ten, or you read another fic and it gives you an idea for something you'd like to write. The next step might be to open up your word processor or Google docs or Written Kitten, or maybe you start typing directly into the comment box at the kink meme or at your friend's journal. Maybe it won't come to anything, but you want to get some words down right now. Working on a new project when the idea is fresh can be really exciting and fun (or also really scary and difficult, or both, depending on what kind of writer you are).

Okay and then, say the way you participate in fandom is to make podfic. You are reading a fic and you start hearing it in your head and then you start saying the words aloud and enjoying how sexy/funny/poignant/awesome they sound. You love this fic and you bet other people do too and at least one or two of them would like to listen to your reading of it. You would like to open up Garageband or Audacity right now and start recording, and see how it goes. If you know the author has given blanket permission, you can do that.

( If not... )

So, dear authors, even if no one has ever expressed interest in podficcing your stuff, even if you don't think you're intimidating in the least, please take a few seconds to think about whether you're against it. If not, please consider taking a minute to add a sentence to your profile and/or masterlist to make potential podficcers' lives easier (and, possibly, to save yourself the time and effort of answering their requests). Here are some examples of statements that you can copy or adapt if you want:
( I give blanket permission. )

And if for whatever reason you don't want to put anything about podfic or secondary fanworks on your profile or index, consider leaving a comment that says something like "I give blanket permission" at the permission to record? *\o/* post on amplificathon (Dreamwidth), the permission to record? *\o/* post on amplificathon (LJ), or for that matter this post of mine that you're reading. We will add your name and a link to the Blanket Permission to Podfic page at Fanlore, and we will be grateful.
