PodAware Day 2 Blanket Permission

[weimar27]

Welcome to day two of pod_aware! If it's still Monday in your time zone, you can still make day 1 posts, we just want day 2 info to be there for the earlier time zones.

To post a work for pod_aware, please include the following in your notes or somewhere easily visible to help spread awareness about podfic:

Blanket permission is a way for fan artists to let other fans know their comfort with others playing with their works. It's particularly helpful to podficcers when authors give blanket permission for anyone to podfic their works without having to ask first. To find out more on blanket permission with regards to podfic check out pod_aware on LJ or DW.

when authors give blanket permission so anyone to podfic their works
Is it meant to read that way?

[out_there]

In theory, I meant to post something about it, but at least reposting the details of today has to help awareness a little.

Didn't say anything deep, but did make a blanket permission post.

I made another podcast talking about blanket permission, which is awesome!

(sadly, soundcloud is not awesome, so now streaming today)

I'm making a post about my blanket permission as a fanartist. Just wanted to point out first that the "strong" tag in the blurb isn't closed at the end, so some people might have a whole bold post. =)

I put up some links in my post for day 2.

Etiquette Rules?

Thank you for bringing up the issue of letting the author know when a podfic is posted, whether or not they specifically ask to be notified.

As a podbooker, I've found that many, many authors have been unaware that a podfic existed until I commented to them about the podbook's availability. Frankly, this appalls me strictly from a common courtesy standpoint.

As a thirty plus year veteran of fandom, I can't help but point out that the correct pronunciation of the word 'zine' is zeen, as in magazine. It's actually a short form of the word fanzine.

It is a testament to the difference in our ages (I'm *cough* OLD *cough*!) that you've likely never heard the word used in conversation. ;-)

I posted a new Merlin podfic, We'll Slide Down the Surface of Things, and wrote some very brief thoughts on blanket permission.
