I just wanted to chime in to say I think what you did was awesome and I'm so glad you did it. It really sucks that there's been this kind of reaction. Everyone, every single fan artist, makes the decision when they create of what kind of audience they expect to get. To me, your Spring Fling came off as being intended for those interested in podfic. I find it incredibly infuriating that all these people who are not the intended audience are getting upset about this. Especially since it's not like there's any shortage of fic or that you're completely denying them access to the fic. And, actually, full stop: I can't believe people are looking a gift horse in the mouth. Fandom is built on people providing their time and creative efforts for fun, no one owes anyone anything and we should all have the freedom to create whatever we want however we want.

Apologies if any of this sounds bullish or aggressive.
I don't actually think that came off as bullish or aggressive at all.
