Day 4

In your own space, create a fannish wishlist. No limits on size or type of fanwork; just tell us what you’d like to see. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. And if you grant a wish, do the same thing!

1. Permission statement for transformative works. This is essentially a statement by you, the fanficcer to give permission (or not, or depending on what story) for people to remix your work or use it as a jumping point for theirs. This has all the details. Please save podficcers from Doing The Dance of Permissions, because fandom should be accessible to everyone.

2. Comment on more podfics. Us writers do whinge about lack of feedback on fic, but podficcers have it much worse than we do. Listen to them, if you like what you hear, go back and comment. Some guidelines on how to do that here I want to have more podfic in my fandoms, tbh. Just give them a try- there are LOADS out there. I've tried my hand at podficcing before, and it's hard. It's the intersection of performance and technical work. go ahead, make someone's day

3. Someone to walk me through Garageband. I have this fanfic that I've recorded, but I'm stuck on certain editing bits. I have the 2017 version, and most of the videos on YT are from 2014. Every time Apple upgrades garage band, they change everything. It's a bit of a long shot, but if you don't ask you don't get, right? I don't have Audacity, nor am I interested in downloading Audacity because I already have Garageband. (note, I have no interest in becoming a podficcer, but I'm interested in how the process works, especially for GarageBand).

4. A music mix. I am easy when it comes to most genres of music, but NGL, I do like tunes with a beat, because I do a lot of walking/running. If there's a fic of mine that inspires a fanmix, that would be interesting! But I wouldn't want to put anyone out, so a dance mix would be up my alley.

Hi there! Another podficcer dropping in from the Snowflake challenge and I think your AO3 profile statement is great. I actually did a post about this subject back in 2012 that you might appreciate: A note to authors who are not podfic fans, from me, sophinisba. It's, eh, a little dated at this point because we weren't as used to the AO3's related work functions so there was more in the way of personal requests to add links. If anything I'd say there's much less expectation these days on podficcers' part that the author would listen or comment.
