chokolatoI am not a lawyer. The following is my view and understanding, not legal advice.
When applicable, any form of media by me (audiovisual, text etc.) posted on this journal and on my Twitter account @chokolatoni can be considered to be as close to public domain as possible. They are free to use and distribute. This also means that use does not equal endorsement by me.
On derivatives and fan art
Fan art is considered derivative. I am not able to grant the same as above ("When applicable, ..."-paragraph) to derivatives and fan art by me in any form. If it was up to me, it would apply to any derivatives and fan art by me as well.
If you use and distribute anything I have posted on the platforms mentioned above, you do so at your discretion.
On likeness
I am not able to grant the same as above ("When applicable, ..."-paragraph) to likeness of other people in media by me in any form. When it comes to my likeness, such as drawings of myself drawn by me, the above ("When applicable, ..."-paragraph) applies.
