For the most part, podficcers and authors get along pretty well but there have always been the occasional situations where things don't go as smoothly. Maybe an author doesn't get podfic, has been rude or hurtful in their response to a request for permission to podfic. Maybe they asked for something unusual when giving their permission, such as a sample of your podfic, that left you feeling uncomfortable.
Being on the wrong end of those interactions is never fun and a lot of us keep it to ourselves but the problem with that, is that the next podficcer who asks permission might end up in the same situation.
To save other podficcers from the same fate, we'd like to create a list of authors podficcers might want to be careful about. This can be because the author will say no, but it can also be warnings for other things. Like, that an author was hard to deal with, or they that they'll host a copy of your podfic without tell you, etc.
If the author has a public, "no to podfic" somewhere, they can be added to the
Blanket No To Podfic List (the sadder sister list to the
Blanket Permission to Podfic List that already exists, since it's on Fanlore, anyone can edit the list or you can leave a comment with a link to the statement and we'll add them).
To be clear, this isn't a blacklist, it's a resource for podficcers to they can know an author's history before moving forward on a podfic project. Not everyone listed on this amplificathon post will be a blanket no author, some may even be a blanket yes author. What some people find uncomfortable, others will be fine with, this is more of a heads up post.
