If you'd like to leave an audio comment (aka talkback) instead of a written comment, here's how!
1) Record your talkback, and upload it somewhere easily accessible (ideally somewhere people can listen to your talkback without having to download the file first). You can also upload it to this Google Drive folder.
2) Leave a comment here or a reply to this Dreamwidth post with a link to your talkback audio file!
Thank you so much for all the work and care you each put into fandom! I've been subscribed to blackglass's updates for a while now, probably thanks to amazing Sam Wilson podfic, and now I'm going to go subscribe to the rest of you!
I also forgot to mention, for Blanket Permission, something I tried out recently was adding a note at the end of all my AO3 posts, asking authors to consider putting up a Blanket Permission statement on their profile, and offering my e-mail address to message me so I could add them to Fanlore's page. So far, in the 2 weeks I've had the notes up, I've received 3 requests to be added to Fanlore's list! :D So, it worked! I highly recommend it.
I need to update my BP statement to go to the better website by Rindle. https://www.fpslist.org/ I'm asking them on the podficcer Discord about a good way to word it, so people can just...do it themselves.
This was a great listen and I enjoyed it! There was a very valid point about representation in fanfic as well as podfic. I have the privilege of not having to think about that so this was a good reminder that this occurs in this space as well. What is the opinion on non-poc contributing by recording podfic of fic that include or have poc as main characters?
@ Jess: solidarity as a queer Mexican-American podficcer! I'm a white passing mixed person and I have a complicated relationship with my cultural and ethnic identity, and it was really really amazing to hear talk about that experience.
thanks for this recording, all, it was great to hear all your experiences.
eta: if a characters of color anthology happens, I would be super interested! would it be posted on DW's fandomcalendar comm?
