Creator Opt-In/Promo Post

[recursivemod]

Hello! This is a post for directing participants to places where they can find fanworks to nominate in the exchange and permission statements to go with. Essentially, a canon promo post! It's also where creators can give permission for recursion and let us know their work(s) are available.

This is a purely optional step for the exchange! After posting here, you still need to nominate individual works. Please feel free to browse and discuss/coordinate nominations, but top-level comments should be for promos only.

Promo Post

Before you make your promo post, here are some things to consider:

• Aside from individual participants' DNWs on their requests, we aren't able to enforce any restrictions on the contents or format of the recursive works created for this exchange.
• We also will not restrict who requests/offers to create for nominated fanworks.
• Please make sure your permission statement allows for fic and art, at minimum!
• All recursive works posted to this exchange will be required to use the "Inspired by" feature to link back to the work they are recursing. You do not have to approve the link.

A promo post should include:

• a link to a permission statement
• the username used to post the work(s) you're letting us know are eligible
• the relevant fandom(s) and medium(s) — if it's a lot of fandoms, feel free to summarize.
• links to the work(s).

Additionally:

• You can give permission for just one work, or for all works, or somewhere in between.
• You do not need to be a participant in the exchange to opt-in on this post.
• You are welcome to comment anonymously without identifying yourself as the creator as long as you have a permission link.
• Posting here does not nominate your work for the exchange! Specific works still need to be nominated via the nominations process. Nominations open on May 10th.

Example Promo Post

Your promo can be something as simple as, "Hi, I'm [username with link] on AO3, I post [fandom & medium] and my permission statement is found here: [link]" or you can do a full promo post.

Hi, I'm FormlessVoidbeast on AO3! I give blanket permission for people to make recursive works for my fics. Do you want to make art, fic, podfic, interpretive dance? It's all good. The only things I disallow are AI created or assisted works, and injecting capitalism into the fandom gift economy. Just don't do it.

I write a lot of consensual monster porn! Amnesiac human woman falling in with friendly sewer mutants and having a Fantastic debut at the Alligator Queen's Lesbian Orgy? I've got you covered. Giant predator alien gets lovingly tied up and 'experimented on' by a little human scientist? Of course! All this and much more can be found in my Consensual Monster Porn series:
https://archiveofourown.org/series/2390656

If humans are more your jam, I recently wrote a Warlord fic, where the gentle art boy prince is sent away to the Terrible Barbarians who... treat him well? and then Oh No Feelings (and so much culture clash). Tropetaculous and very fun.
https://archiveofourown.org/series/4073578

Fandoms I have written include: Lupin III, Leverage, The Hobbit (movies and books), Fallout (games), Stardew Valley, and Overwatch. I specialize in Queer Joy with a side order of Shenanigans and a whole lot of Smut.

Please consider making recursive works of my fic! The author is dead even when the author is me, and I will be thrilled if you take my stories and spin them off in ways and directions I would never have imagined!

I am a fool who forgot to add the link to my policy so

[tavina]

Hello!

I am Tavina and my permissions statement is here. I primarily write fanfiction for Naruto and The Untamed/MDZS but I have also written for other fandoms in the past.

[facethestrange]

I'm facethestrange, I'm primarily draw fanart but I have a handful of fics too. I have works in 80-ish different fandoms, so I'm not listing all of them, but some of the biggest ones and/or currently the most active ones are The Witcher (TV), The Magicians (TV), One Piece (Live Action), Yellowjackets, BtVS, Game of Thrones/ASOIAF, Discworld and Lost. My permission statement is here - everything is allowed, go wild! ♡

[falkner]

Hi, I'm soranort on AO3, I post fic for a few different fandoms (DC comics, Katekyou Hitman Reborn!, Kingdom Hearts are the ones with multiple stories, but there are a few more) and my permission statement is found here: AO3 profile.

Anything but AI basically

[alycat44]

Hi, I'm Alycat44 on AO3.

I post fic for various fandoms, but primarily within recursive fandoms (Dreaming of Sunshine and Road to Nowhere, fics that spawned fandoms of themselves). Outside of that, I post a lot of crossover works, though my most prominent fandom is probably Naruto.

My blanket statement for recursion permission is found on my AO3 profile here: [https://archiveofourown.org/users/Alycat44/profile]
and includes permission for anything EXCEPT AI recursion on any and all of the works I've posted on AO3.

[lailah_tov]

I'm lailah_tov and magnadoodle and my permission statements are here and here. I love love love recursive fanwork!

Both my accounts are mostly for smut, with a wide range of genders and genres. lailah_tov is where I post things that generally don't need archive warnings; there is no outright noncon (and very little dubcon), incest, or underage sexual content. However, there is a lot of consensual kink that gets pretty hardcore in places. magnadoodle is where I put work that gets all the archive warnings, so mind the tags.

Here are just a few of my works that I think are particularly accessible for remixing or illustrating. Any of my work is fair game!

Original Work
My original work has a lot of worldbuilding in it, and I try to include plenty of visual detail.

lailah_tov's Royals Having a Nice Time - An ongoing series of primarily M/M/M (but also F/F, M/F, F/F/F, M/M/NB...) kink and polyamory in an alternate present where the four primary sexes (with equal distribution in the population) are virile male, fertile male, virile female, and fertile female. Worldbuilding galore, lots of mpreg, novel concepts of queerness and identity, and a setting that deliberately does not have any anti-queer, anti-trans, or misogynist attitudes, plus all the fun glitz and glamor of present-day royalty, with fancy clothes described in detail for the artists among you. There are 26 works in the series so far, and I really don't expect anyone to read all 500k+ of them; "Q is for Quadrisex,", an alphabet of short kink scenarios from Abrasion to Zoning Out (plus Aftercare), is a good place to get a sense of the series vibe and perhaps some inspiration, and the first story in the series, "His Majesty Goes on Holiday," is a mere 9k and stands well on its own. Multiple fanworks already exist under the fandom "Royals Having a Nice Time - lailah_tov," so please use that fandom if you post a fanwork of this series.

lailah_tov's Wicker Club series - Three works (ranging from 3k to 7k) set at a kink club. Two are omegaverse and one has human/animal hybrids. If you like kink and you like omegaverse or hybrids, these are fun quick reads with a lot of worldbuilding potential and plenty of visual detail for artists. Note that the first one in the series is tagged "Extremely Dubious Consent"; the other two are fully consensual.

lailah_tov's "The Boyfriend Experience" - A 21k standalone about a trans guy who gets out of sex work and applies for an office job, only to learn that his favorite ex-client is the hiring manager. While figuring out workplace dynamics and queer identity, they fall in love. It's sweet, romantic, and sexy, with a supporting cast of trans people and big emphasis on the leads building a relationship that meets both of them where they are.

lailah_tov's "have another go, my friend" - Technically fanfic of a painting, but can be read as original work. 3400 words of M/M/F kink among three friends who sort of cosplay 1930s-ish louche grimy horny abandonment. Includes cigarette kink, wax play, nonsexual kink, and drinking cocktails while dancing to jazz records. Recursive illustration could be fun for an artist who wants to riff on the style of the original painting.

lailah_tov's "we met in the springtime at a rock and roll show" — 4k original work standalone. A big shy metalhead, a bouncy little rocker, and a quiet emo guy walk out of a bar (and right into bed). Friends to lovers, strangers to lovers, a grab bag of kinks, sweaty and sweet. Several comments have asked for more with these characters; they have great synergy and the potential for a lot of fun.

magnadoodle's omegaverse stories - Mostly standalone stories. Includes F/F, F/M, and M/M, with alphas and omegas of all genders. Lots of omegaverse worldbuilding in these, including the urban planning that goes into stocks full of omegas, menstruation-like experiences for omegas in heat, and a spaceship populated by an incestuous cult family. "an aching kind of growing", about an alpha knight protector helping an omega prince through his first heat, has particularly abundant room for sequels featuring the same characters. "One Unlucky Omega" explores the underpinnings of a classic omegaverse dystopia and is ripe for spin-offs.

magnadoodle's Spectral Vengeance - Two short works (about 3k each) about ghosts taking their revenge on psychic scammers. Some visually vivid spectral noncon here for the artists.

magnadoodle's "whatever it pays" - 14k of intensely gory underage sibling noncon. If you like to illustrate gore and the other tags don't put you off, this story is a great excuse to splash red all over the page, and there's lots of prequel and sequel potential too.

Succession
My Shiv/Rava stories "Droit du Seigneur" and "Naked Ambition" would be fun to spin off of, as both focus on single encounters but hint at the possibility of more. "No Exceptions" digs into Roman and Tabitha's relationship while setting up the potential for Tabitha/Willa, which could be interesting to explore and also has a very illustratable last scene. "Hydro Cannon" is extremely dirtybadwrong Tom/Greg that's set the morning after the night before; maybe you want to write the night before.

Empires & Puzzles
Tiny little fandom of my heart! I build a backstory for "The Battle Way" (Boldtusk/Raffaele) that sets up the potential for basically infinite fics of sadomasochistic sex involving healer heroes, based on the theory that your mana doesn't know that the person "attacking" you is doing it consensually, so the harder they hit you, the more mana you build and the more you can heal yourself to get "attacked" some more. And then I threw in the idea of a spell that can send someone into heat. Because why not. Anyway, there's potential for a lot of bonkers fun here.

The Old Guard
"Dreaming in Red" plays with the idea of them all dreaming of one another and imagines Andy and Quynh dreaming of Joe and Nicky having sex, and vice versa, before they meet in person. In "Above the Waves," Quynh is rescued from her underwater prison by mermaids. "A Friend in Need" has Celeste joining the Old Guard as their on-call medic, with hints of Celeste/Andy.

Narnia/Game of Thrones
"Tied with Green Silk Ribbon" arranges a marriage between Peter Pevensie and Sansa Stark. "A Fate Better Than Death" drops an older Susan into Winterfell, where white-haired Sansa is still queen with Ser Arya by her side.

Gunpowder Milkshake
In "Close Your Eyes," Florence saves Madeleine by turning her into a vampire. In "The Look of Love,", Madeleine embroiders an eyepatch for Florence. "Training the Apprentice" shows Sam teaching Emily how to shoot. All are short, easy reads.

[shadaras]

I'm Shadaras on ao3, my permission statement is here, and I have written... a lot of things! Also drawn a few things? But mostly I write.

My major fandoms are Star Wars (mostly movies), MDZS/CQL, and QZGS/TKA. I've also got a fair number of Original Works, ranging from wuxia to superheroes to urban fantasy to space opera to high fantasy.

Beyond those, I've written for a lot of cnovels/cdramas (including Nirvana in Fire, Guardian (TV), Word of Honor, Link Click, DMBJ, Scum Villain), a wide assortment of Yuletide-eligible fandoms (such as Friends at the Table, Killjoys (TV), Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Dungeon Meshi), and some more popular fandoms (like Star Trek: Discovery, Genshin Impact, Supergirl (TV), Legend of Korra, Tortall, Gideon the Ninth, Iron Man (movies), She-Ra and the Princesses of Power)

[graycardinal]

On DW: graycardinal
On AO3: Gray_Cardinal blanket permission here

I've written fic in a wide variety of fandoms, many of which are Yuletide-eligible or smaller. Fandoms in which I have a significant number of stories include:

• Castle
• Doctor Who
• Gargoyles
• Kim Possible
• Marvel Cinematic Universe
• Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms

Quite a lot of my work is sufficiently open-ended to leave room for continuations or spinoffs. In the context of this exchange, I'll mention a couple of works in particular:

A Foregone Introduction (kitten!Holmes)

This was a very short fic inspired by the MTM Productions logo displayed at the end of the Remington Steele TV series (the YouTube clip is linked in the story notes), and was explicitly meant as an attempt to create a fandom.

Five College Careers Alexis Castle Might Consider (and the Consequences Thereof) (Castle)

What it says on the tin. I've always been curious about how any of these individual scenarios might have played out in the longer term....

[muggle95]

Heyo! I'm quandrix_quizard on ao3 and I have a permission statement in my profile, which says

* DO further transform my transformative works: podfic, art, translation, remix, alternate pov of, sequels to completed works, "canon divergence" from some place in the middle of my work's "canon", etc. even sequels/endings to incomplete works just don't call yours the official ending. Share and share alike, two cakes, etc. Please link to/credit my work where relevant. (mark "inspired by" if you post to ao3) And send me a link, mainly because I'll love to see what someone else has done with the same legos

I mostly write Harry Potter and DCMK but I dabble in a lot of other fandoms, and I love to deep dive in worldbuilding. If anyone is inspired enough by my works to request or recurse them, I'm delighted. More cake!

[(Anonymous)]

I'm tasteoflemons on ao3! I write fic for whatever I'm into which is mostly X-Men but lately has featured a lot of Trigun and Homestuck. I think it would be especially fun to see a remix of my fic limits of disguise (https://archiveofourown.org/works/42533766)

[minnarr]

Hi, I'm minnabird; my permission statement can be found here.

I write fic primarily in Word of Honor fandom currently, but I also have written a bunch in Star Wars, as well as various other fandoms.

-Good Omens
-Our Flag Means Death
-Star Trek: TOS
-Supernatural
-plus many others

Good Omens examples (Aziraphale/Crowley):

This Barrier Between Us - Fairy Tale AU, Azriaphale is in an arranged marriage with a man he can only be with in complete darkness, and yet a bond grows between them.

I Dream A Dream Of You - Crowley has gone missing, but Azirphale can see and communicate with him in his dreams.

[rusakko]

Hello! I'm Rusakko on AO3, and I give blanket permission for people to create recursive works for my fics. My permission statement can be found here.

Fandoms I've written for: Stand Still Stay Silent, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Persuasion, Love and Freindship, Mansfield Park, Vorkosigan Saga.

[somethingdarker]

I'm the_rck on AO3, and, as per usual, all of my works are fair game. This includes WIP and series.

I've written Dreaming of Sunshine, Naruto, Harry Potter, Weiss Kreuz, Chronicles of Amber, Sky High, The Pretender, Labyrinth, Narnia, Star Wars, OW, BnHA, and a long list of other things, including a lot of Yuletide sized fandoms.

My official permission statement is here.

"The Last on Your Path" and "Neither Sought Nor Knew" are both listed as cowritten because they were created for Pod_Together_2017. I wrote both in entirety; the listed coauthors created the podfic for the stories. Since the stories are my work, I consider them also to be fair game, but I'm not sure how the moderators of this exchange would classify them.

"The Road Taken" is truly cowritten, and the coauthor's permission would also be needed for this exchange. I expect she'd give it, but you'd have to ask.

Anything that was written for a remix challenge will have the word 'remix' in the title. I'm open to recursives of those works, but please check the exchange rules in case you need to ask permission of the people whose works I remixed.

[shannnon_foraker]

For the purpose of this exchange, go ahead on my Honorverse & Rat Patrol fics, as well as the Star Wars fics. I'm Jedi_Knight_Leia_Skywalker.

https://archiveofourown.org/users/Jedi_Knight_Leia_Skywalker/profile

Skip my cowritten fics, please, as I never checked with the co-writer on that.

[firecat]

Hi, I'm firecat on AO3.

I’ve posted fics in many fandoms. The top few are Lucifer TV, MCU (especially Loki), Original Work, Ancient Greek Religion and Lore, Constantine TV, Torchwood TV, The Expanse (books & TV), Sherlock Holmes (ACD), Star Trek TOS and TNG.

About half are rated explicit and about a third have archive warnings, usually rape/noncon or graphic violence.

Any of my works can be recursed in any medium.

My permission statement is here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/firecat/profile

[gold_pen_leaps]

Hi, I'm gold_pen_leaps, a writer! Permission is in my AO3 profile. Most of my works are quick reads.

I would be happy for any nomination, but my personal picks are these:

More Than Alright

Parent fandom: Malevolent (podcast)

Rated: M

Please mind the rating. As an example, one of the characters is a bodysnatcher and a murderer. Body Snatcher TV Tropes Page

A lot of plot details are hinted at, rather than stated, so I think this fanfic is perfect for this event!

It's a very strange story, with supernatural elements.

This is a story set in a small snowy town, after an encounter with a monster affects the townspeople. It is about three characters negotiating jealousy and polyamorous relationships.

What I Had To Do

Parent fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe

Rating: G

This has some fun elements to work with. An argument between nearly-lovers. Post-apocalyptic vampires, as a solution to a food crisis. Royalty and secret organizations.

It Was A Galactic Emergency

Parent fandoms: Guardians of the Galaxy, Venom movies

Rating: T

An investigative journalist and the symbiotic alien sharing his body get their motorcycle stolen. And then they meet the Guardians. And Tony Stark, inventor and billionaire.

There are a lot of characters, and some intriguing setting options.
