Blanket permission is awesome. There are 2 people lately who I've talked to who are new to making podfic (one just starting, another thinking of starting) and in both cases, pointing them towards the blanket permission list has felt like one of the most helpful things I have done.
I've been thinking about ways to let more authors know about it. It's not that I want to convince authors to add their names if they don't already want to, but I want to make sure that the ones who *would* say yes are aware that blanket podfic permission is a thing and that all they have to do to give it is leave a comment on this post.
So I edited my master list to add a link to the post, just saying that if authors are comfortable having their fic recorded, to please consider adding their names to the list. When I crosspost my Podfic Big Bang, I think I'm going to include a line and a link to the post also. Again, I'm not at all interested in pressuring authors who don't feel comfortable with blanket permission. I just want to make sure the word is spread to the those who do.
