It depends how it's done, I think. In theory, I would have been much more comfortable with, instead of the edit that was actually made, an edit where the TNH page was separated into subsections where it's like FANFIC: This was written by bexless and here's the link [and whatever other info the editor wanted to add], PODFIC: Okay here's the info about the podfic. Although then part of me wants to be like, "But does this mean the podfic info never gets to come first?" Not that it needs to, but I don't *love* the idea of my fanwork being buried down a page every time someone has interesting things to say about the fic that it uses as its script.
Though on the other hand, I do really love all the fics that I have put in the time to podfic, so it's not like it'd be the worst thing in the world if by searching for info on my podfic, someone learned some new info about the fic as well...
Honestly, the thing that concerns me most right now about them sharing a page is that a lot of people who say, anon or on twitter, that they feel like every time they are looking for fic info they get podfic info shoved in their face, would probably be much more annoyed at being at the page for the fic and seeing more than 50% of it containing podfic info, as if somehow the page creators had been making a statement that the fic isn't important. At least if there was a separate page for the podfic and the fanfic, we could assume that it's not stigmatized to talk about the podfic *on* the clearly marked podfic page, and won't have to worry about being interpreted in some negative way by people who read the page and feel like the podfic info is invading the page that should rightfully be mostly about the fic.
And then again, that also makes me think that maybe, though it's uncomfortable, it's actually better *to* integrate them rather than keep ourselves to the side. I don't know.
