Author Permission Question

[paraka]

So I'm contemplating a podficing project of reading a bunch of drabbles from a kink meme. However, due to the nature of kink memes all of the fics are posted anonymously.

What are people's opinions on getting author permission, if the fic is posted anonymously?

Not only will I not know if whomever answers my request for permission is the real author, some authors might not be tracking comments to the ficlets so they may never see it. My impulse is to just go ahead without author's permission but, well, it's such a touchy subject.

Yeah, my natural instinct is to just go ahead and read them. It's just a cute little kink meme with super short responses so it'd be done as an anthology. I just... know that someone somewhere will get upset about it though and I just... don't want to deal with it. So, I wanted others opinion before I made a decision.

I'm contemplating a couple different options right now but if anything it's likely going to be assume permission but offer an opt out option.
