Day 14

In your own space, create your own challenge. Whatever your challenge is, and have fun with it! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

For writers, I just want to challenge yourself to put a transformative statement on your work, tbh. Have a think if it's going to be yes, no, or maybe, then make a decision.

My friend is outchere looking for fics in a fandom to podfic. Out of 125 fics on her spreadsheet, none have transformative statements. Come on, writers, we need to do better.

Especially if you want to be asked about your fic re: transformative works. As long as the artist can get in touch with you in good time, that's fine! I do tend to be distant when it comes to my own stuff (once it's posted, I'm over it), and I do think that writers should think about BP and what they are expecting from said BP vs what they might get.

But thank you for putting up BP just so that transformative artists know where they stand (or... don't).

I'm not good at letting go. :-)

That's fine! From my dealings with other transformative artists, they just want to know. If you put up a BP that says, "I really can't let go, so I'mma need to say...no." At least everyone knows. It's the Dance of Permissions and steeling oneself for rejection or acceptance that everyone wants to avoid, tbh.
