>>Do you have a transformative works statement / blanket statement? idkwtf that means sorry im idot<<

It's linked in the main post, so you can go back and click that if you want to read more. Basically it tells people what they can do with any of your work, for instance, if you welcome translations or podfics or whatever.

>> want to try to start birdwatching <<

I'll go with "Up is Hell." Down there light is dangerous. It can be used as a defense mechanism, but being seen means being more likely to get eaten.

I typically post my daily count on birdfeeding.

>> you can translate / draw art of / read my works! just ask for permission first <<

Now just copy that into a post on your blog titled "Transformative Works Statement" and you're done.

>>the up is hell interpretation is so cool actually.. thank you for epic statement gonna chew on that for awhile<<
