RE: Day 43: 5 Minute Freewrite - Prompt: camping
Rather, someone who didn't intend to give permission (since sometimes these are fairly raw) would accidentally have allowed you to use it, and then there would be a fuss about opt-in (which is something we all hate that Facebook does)
My counter-proposal would be that people need to give permission to use it. It should be the same amount of work for you, a little more for them, but they're actively opting in.
hmm. true. It already is published for the world to see if it is here on Steemit. We shall see. I still have to work out all the tech stuff. I am so not familiar with all of that.
And then get started with those who already are on board....
Ya. But, while something may be out there for all to see, perhaps it is not the work they want featured. Or, contrariwise, perhaps they feel differently about work being read aloud than being read on a screen. Or broadcasting Or or or. I think people's sense of ownership over content changes when others begin using it, and explicit permission should be sought. Whether it's legal or not, isn't the issue so much as whether it's NICE ;) I think people would feel extra nice being asked. I know it's an extra dollop of work, but perhaps you could solicit a helper! :P (I might be persuaded)
I will take you up on the helper offer :) This has turned into quite a time commitment. But I do love the community that is developing. But there are days when I don't get to my own freewrite..... And that is why I am trying to find an easy way. Some already have said they would like it. so, maybe some will give permission and other's will be asked..... And actually, I would love it if people read there own work. But i don't know all the tech stuff yet.
You let me know! I'll be happy to reach out to people when you're ready to get up and running!
