Petition to make 2023 the year all fic writers put permission statements in their AO3 profiles?

Please note this is not me asking all writers to grant blanket permission for other creators to make any and all kinds of transformative works of their fics.

What I am asking is for a simple statement that will help fellow fanwork creators know your boundaries, because honestly, asking is scary! A permission statement can look like…

“I am not open to any transformative works of my fic at this time.” Great! Clear, concise, saves us the time and effort of asking, and the angst of awaiting a reply.

Or

“I am open to any transformative works, including art, podfics, translations, and written works inspired by my fics.” Yay!! This is great news. May the fandom gods bless you with many “related works” notification emails in your inbox.

Or

“I am generally okay with podfics, translations, etc, but please send me a quick message first” Totally! We get it. Maybe you’d rather some of your works stay untouched. Maybe you’d prefer that they’re archive-locked. Maybe you just want to know who you’re dealing with, or you don’t like surprises. Valid! At least we know you’re up for a convo, and will likely respond.

Or

“I am okay with_______ but not _______ of my works.” Yes! Again, clarity! It’s a beautiful thing.

If anyone has anything to add to this appeal, please feel free.

#i have one in my profile yes !

I don’t know how to say this in a way that doesn’t sound like I’m advocating for casual cruelty or whatever but something that grates so much about this current social moment is how many people are incapable of saying they dislike something or someone without cooking up some higher morally correct reason for their dislike. Sometimes you just disliked a book. Sometimes you don’t “get” an actor or a musician. There’s nothing morally wrong with your girl’s fuckass boyfriend he’s literally just annoying and you’re annoyed that you have to pretend you like him when you know he’ll be history in six months. It’s fine. You don’t need to justify your dislike.

#sometimes a thing just does not jive and it isn't a reflection of the thing OR you necessarily just tastes not aligning
