fanfic: more than meets the eye
If there happens to be anyone who wants to further transform my transformational works by podficcing or illustrating or vidding or remixing something I've written (or some other transformational process we haven't thought of yet), I - suppose I sort of see how intra-fandom transformation is different than extra-fandom transformation, which is why it's a Done Thing to seek permission from fellow fannish creators when we come right out and say we don't believe original creators should get to grant or withhold permission from us? I guess that's what's going on?
But hey, goose, gander. I didn't ask if I could play with (for example) JK Rowling's toys, and my playing with them didn't make them impossible for her to play with, because this is not a zero-sum activity. So you needn't ask me, either. My two preferences are these:
1. In a thing that is different within fandom than outside of it, I'd appreciate a heads-up if you do podfic (or illustrate or whatever) my stuff, so I can go see it.
2. All of this applies only to things I have written as fiction about fictional characters. I categorically decline to be used as a character in anyone's RPF, and I also decline this on behalf of Real People in my life who are mentioned but do not actually participate here. (Real People who have their own fannish presences can make their own decisions, of course.)
Is there someplace we're meant to be saying all this other than in our own spaces?
