In your own space, create your own challenge.
Oooooooh I love this one! I would love to do something fun, like give prompts, but I'm a) at work and b) my brain is very full just lately. Instead I'm going to challenge fanwork creators to consider putting up a blanket statement on transformative works of their transformative works on their profiles/masterlists/other places where people who find your work might see it.
Most commonly, this tends to be useful to podficcers. There's an interesting conversation that's been happening for a decade about requesting permission to podfic, and a lot of podficcers, when considering what to podfic, will look at a story from someone with a blanket permission statement the easiest to deal with.
I have a lot of feelings about this, but as I've said, this conversation has been happening for a decade and I don't think I have much to add to it, so I'm just gonna say: a blanket permission statement (or blanket no permission statement! or specific permission statement!) makes your feelings on the matter clear for anyone who might be considering making podfic, art, a translation, or whatever from one of your fanworks.
Honestly, I believe every fanwork creator should have one of these. There's sort of an expected permission between fanart and fanfic; no one seems to think it untoward if an artist creates art for a story, or if an author writes a story based on a fanart. A blanket statement would just codify these relationships and desires and make it easier for everyone involved.
For easy organization later:

on 1/14/21 05:10 am (UTC)This gave me such a great idea though. Like, I tend to come back in January because I LOVE FANDOM SNOWFLAKE but without that schedule, things tend to fall off. What if we did fandom snowflake every month? Simple challenges, no pressure, just... something to do that's fun and easy? Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Also: HI HI HI! *hugs*
