A Small PSA: Podfic-Friendly Authors in Harry Potter Fandom

I recently put out feelers for podfic-friendly authors in Harry Potter fandom and created a list. This is mainly because although there are lists out there where authors have raised their hands as being podfic-friendly, there haven’t been a lot of replies from Harry Potter authors, and they tend to get buried in the Merlin, SGA, SPN deluge.

Thanks! I hope people find it useful. Podfic hasn't taken off in HP Fandom the way it has in so many others, so when I first started, I found that I would request permission to record, and the author was like "Podfic? WTF?" There still isn't a lot out there, but now there seem to be four of us actively recording (which is 4x more than before I started). I'm hoping that a few podficcers who just want a change from their regular stuff (or who enjoy dabbling in multiple fandoms, might be enticed by the authors who granted blanket permission. :D

LOL. It's possible. I know that I was nervous to podfic in HP Fandom (I have an appallingly American accent), but after listening to so many awesome podfics by podficcers whose accents don't match the fandom, I came to the decision that it wasn't necessary.

And yes, you should try a nice, short gen!fic. As it happens, I have a list of authors who have given blanket permission *grins and nudges gently*

There was at least one Harry Potter podcast, but strangely, no-one in fandom really seems to know about it. *shrug*
