I know some artists are uncomfortable making fanart from fics if they haven't asked first, so I'm just gonna throw it out as a reminder that if you feel inspired to draw anything from any of my writing--that's fics or little shorties or any of my posts--you are absolutely more than welcome to.
The only thing I ask is to @ me so I can fangirl over it properly and spread it around so others may see it too.
Authors, if you feel this way, I highly recommend putting a blanket permission statement on your AO3 profile. (this also goes for things like podfic, remixes, translations, and anything else that you feel like including).
Artists, if you feel awkward asking (although 99% of authors would probably be thrilled!) look on their profile page to see if they have a blanket permission statement.
A permission statement is a way that you, as a creator, can tell other creators what you do and do not allow others to do with your work.
It's really helpful to share that information in an easily-accessible and permanent place because reblogging a post on tumblr or adding a tag to a post is only going to be seen by the people who catch that post when you put it up. Someone coming along 6 months or 2 years or a decade later will have no idea. Plus, you might have changed your mind in the intervening time.
It can be intimidating, difficult, or even impossible to directly ask someone if they'll allow you to create something based on their work, so a permission statement makes it all so much easier.
If you want to read more about permission statements, there's an article on Fanlore.
If you want to see what they look like, you can take a look at mine on my own AO3 account. Feel free to copy it and modify it however suits you.
Or you can make use of tools like @fanworkspermissionstatement that can help you build your own from the ground up.
(I got 4 podfics last year from absolute strangers, and all of them felt comfortable doing that because of my permission statement. just sayin')
