Canon Promo Post

[flowersforgraves]

Requesting something super cool? Looking to pick up a new canon to fill a specific freeform? Promote canons or ask for recs here!

There is no set promo format, but for some examples, check out last year's Yuletide canon promo post.

Some things you may want to include: what format the canon is in (books, movie, anime, graphic novel, podcast, etc.), a legal way to acquire the canon (or ask interested parties to contact you), or what you love about it. For this exchange in particular, you may also want to mention what kind of fanwork types you're looking to request!

Transformative Work Policies

[flowersforgraves]

It's time for the yearly post about blanket permission statements, also called transformative works policies! For the purposes of this exchange, you do NOT need one. However, as per the rules, if you are requesting transformative work (i.e., work that involves manipulating another fanwork in some way) such as podfic, translation, recursive work, or similar, you MUST indicate in your signup if you're okay with your own work being transformed to fill your prompt.

Blanket permission statements do not have to be a blanket yes to anything and everything. It's okay to provide stipulations or caveats to your policy, such as "don't translate any of my works in [x fandom]" or "please link back to my original text when podficcing". For some examples, check out the Fanlore article about blanket statements. Anyone may copy and use, in full or in part, my own statement on my AO3 profile.

If you are not comfortable or interested in posting a transformative works policy more generally, but would be comfortable with the possibility of your works being transformed specifically for this exchange (whether as gifts for you or for others), please feel free to leave a comment with the following information:

• Your AO3 handle
• What kinds of transformative works you're okay with
• Any restrictions, caveats, or conditions (including what, if any, fandoms or works are off-limits)
