Regarding both general art & fic:

I give blanket permission for anyone to:

• Save and reproduce my work for private use only (using art as a phone wallpaper, printing fic to read, etc.)
• Create transformative works using my work as inspiration (fanart, recursive fic, etc.) as long as I am properly credited/made aware

I would prefer to be asked permission directly to:

• Remix my work, whether fic or art

I do not give permission to:

• Use any of my work for NFTs or anything crypto-related
• Use any of my work for machine-learning, AI, LLM, etc. no matter the purpose
• Use any of my work for commercial purposes

Regarding art specifically:

I do not give permission to:

• Repost or use my art online anywhere (including using my art as icons) unless commissioned/gifted/traded/etc. even with credit
• Edit my art in any manner unless commissioned/gifted/traded/etc. even with credit
• Translate my art directly on the picture to repost it even with credit
• Use my art for roleplay or Character AI even with credit

Regarding fic specifically:

I give blanket permission for anyone to:

• Translate my fic, except French→English or English→French
• Podfic my fic, though I would appreciate Lysandre's name being pronounced the French way

I would prefer to be asked permission directly to:

• Translate my fic from French→English or English→French
• Use elements/headcanons lifted directly from my fic (such as specific nicknames, made-up places, etc.) in fic otherwise unrelated to mine

Regarding commissioned work, gifts, trades, etc. specifically:

I give blanket permission for the commissioner, giftee, tradee, or otherwise owner of the character(s) (if applicable) to:

• Use the commissioned/gifted/traded/etc. art as an icon, banner, wallpaper, etc. online with proper credit
• Share and/or repost the commissioned/gifted/traded/etc. work online with proper credit
• Make minor edits to the commissioned/gifted/traded/etc. art, such as resizing, cropping, or minor color adjustments

I would prefer to be asked permission directly to:

• Make major edits to the commissioned/gifted/traded/etc. work

Further information:

• If posting on Archive of Our Own, please make use of the "Related work/Inspired by" option.
• I do not mind being asked for permission to use my art, as long as it is done knowing I am likely to refuse.
• As I speak French and English fluently, I would prefer other people not attempt to translate my works in these languages without permission.
