Approval of God	comment	Some creators get and accept the presence of a fan work, adaptation or a parody of their work. After all, there are creative fans who are willing to make anything based upon a work they love. Also, there are some other creators who not only accept such works existing but also enjoy the fan material and sometimes even showcase it to other fans. While not everything that the creator would enjoy would become Ascended Fanon, some works, ranging from fan art to song parodies and fan films, would be good enough to catch the attention of creators, or those involved in the source material. Not only could the creators outright state their enjoyment for the fan material, but they can even link that work to share with other fans. Sometimes such works can become Ascended Memes. Compare with Creator-Preferred Adaptation, where a creator dubs an adaptation to be superior to the original. Also compare Ascended Fanon, Promoted Fanboy, Official Fan-Submitted Content. Contrast Disowned Adaptation, Fanwork Ban, Sincerest Form of Flattery. Creators may even offer Parody Assistance. See also Rule 34 â€“ Creator Reactions, which may or may not meet the creator's approval.

Approval of God / int_12300cc3	comment	Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons loved Harry Partridge's Saturday Morning Watchmen, feeling that the short showcased a lot of love for and knowledge of the property with its humour. Even more notably, Alan Moore — who is notorious for publicly disliking almost all adaptations of his work — has also given his seal of approval, giving Saturday Morning Watchmen the distinction of being only one of two adaptations Moore has endorsed (the other being an episode of Justice League which adapted "For the Man Who Has Everything").

Approval of God / int_14f9297e	comment	Gary Larson wrote a The Far Side comic in which a female ape accused her mate of "doing more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp". As he related in his book "The Prehistory of the Far Side", Larson received a hostile letter from the Jane Goodall Society, threatening legal action over the strip. Shortly after that, he received a letter from the editors of National Geographic, who wanted to print the strip in an anniversary issue. When Larson explained his difficulties with the Jane Goodall Society, one magazine editor commented, "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know." After some research, they found out that Goodall enjoyed the strip and was not aware of the Society's actions against Gary Larson. Larson later met with Jane Goodall at her research facility in Mgombe. In his words, "Everything's cool."

Approval of God / int_20fa5e48	comment	Ronnie Spector of The Ronettes had cultivated relationships with many of the subsequent artists who cite her as an influence and often performed cover versions of their songs. Brian Wilson, Billy Joel, The Ramones, Eddie Money and Amy Winehouse are among the artists she had given personal approval. In the case of Amy Winehouse, her idolization of Spector crosses straight into Follow the Leader, as she sought to emulate Spector's physical appearance as well as her singing style. Spector made a point to reach out to Winehouse and meet with her personally. Upon Winehouse's untimely death, Spector released a cover of "Back to Black" in tribute and also contributed to the biopic Amy. With Eddie Money, offering her approval ended up reviving her career. Money looked to her for inspiration when writing "Take Me Home Tonight" (which interpolated The Ronettes' "Be My Baby" in the chorus) and ultimately ended up including her on the song as a guest vocalist. It became a massive hit and sparked a revival of interest in her life and career. Money later stated that he would have scrapped the song if Spector had declined to appear on it, as he had no intention of recording it with anyone else.

Approval of God / int_2e3e7ac2	comment	The Justice League episode "For the Man Who Has Everything", which was adapted from a story of the same name written by Alan Moore. Moore is infamous for his disdain of the mainstream comic book industry and how it shamelessly milks its properties for all their worth; this goes double for any adaptations of his work. This one episode is the sole adaptation of his work that Moore has not only never lambasted, but outright praised. It is also one of only two adaptations where he allowed his name to be credited (the other being the film that made him hate adaptations to begin with).

Approval of God / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: While Akira Toriyama was writing the Namek Arc for Dragon Ball Z, Toei Animation released the Bardock special that depicted Goku's father and his death as the Saiyan homeworld was destroyed. Toriyama liked the story as it was one he'd never tell, so much so he inserted Bardock into the manga as a one-panel flashback when Frieza meets Goku for the first time. While Toriyama has since written his own take on Bardock's story in the Dragon Ball: Minus chapter of Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, the base character design has remained the same. Several of the Funimation English voices for Dragon Ball Z have expressed approval for Dragon Ball Z Abridged. There are several YouTube videos of the actors quoting lines from the series in-character. In fact, Kyle Hebert and Christopher Sabat (as DJ Sexdillionare) guest-starred in some episodes and movies. It seems to be the mark of a successful Abridged Series whenever this happens, as Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged has had a cameo from Chuck Huber in The Movie. The creators of the anime itself in Japan don't share the same appreciation as Funimation does. While Team Four Star had voice packs in Dragon Ball Xenoverse, when Toei caught wind of Funimation's plan to use TFS for a scene in Dragon Ball Z Kai that comedically retells the end of the Cell Arc, they barred Funimation from using them.

He's also commented on YouTube videos of the game, and lent his voice to the outro of "Senpai Notice Me: A Yandere Simulator Musical" by Random Encounters. His YouTube channel also lists liked videos, many of which are Let's Plays and other related works for Yandere Simulator.

They later gave their seal of approval to HoxHud, a community-made HUD upgrade that shows additional information about the game as well as other features, such as holding down the action key.

She's also expressed that she wishes she had thought up the Shrunken Head on the Knight Bus in the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban film. She takes a "go ahead, I won't look" view toward fanfiction, though. Rowling was more than happy with The Harry Potter Lexicon, a fan-made website that indexed everything in the Potterverse. But once the owner published it as a real book she sued because it was essentially the entire Harry Potter series as written by her only organized differently and with him as the purported author. When asked if she'd seen it via Twitter, Rowling tweeted that she thinks the Harry Potter / Uptown Funk parody Dark Lord Funk is a work of genius.

They in fact helped the band break out: a video made by a Polish fan for "40:1" netted several million hits before being hit with a copyright strike (Sabaton later reuploaded it to their own channel), and inspired Polish filmmaker Jacek Raginis (a descendant of the Polish commander at the Battle of Wizna, Captain WÅ‚adysÅ‚aw Raginis) to contact the band with an offer to film an official video at the Wizna battlefield memorial. The former members of Rockbitch found out that Sabaton had name-dropped them in "Metal CrÃ¼e" and thought it was incredibly sweet. Sabaton discovered a Russian YouTube channel doing Russian-language covers of their songs, and helped them do one of "The Attack of the Dead Men". And then brought him on-stage to sing his cover in Moscow! And then covered one of his songs, which was itself an homage to Sabaton!

Approval of God / int_87527199	comment	Team America: World Police: Matt Damon thought the parody of him in the film, as a mentally disabled person only capable of saying his own name, was hilarious and claims he would have even voiced him himself if Trey Parker and Matt Stone had asked. This was also the reaction of many of the celebrities lampooned in the film, with the only exception being Sean Penn. Gerry Anderson is also said to have considered it a rather more faithful adaptation of Thunderbirds than the live-action movie, with his only complaint being that the film's very adult nature made it inaccessible to his young children.

Approval of God / int_892aa56a	comment	The Canadian TV series Murdoch Mysteries significantly changes several characters from the way they were depicted in creator Maureen Jennings' original novels. Despite this, Jennings is a strong supporter of the show, is directly involved as a creative consultant, and has even directly written several episodes herself. Jennings has even said that star Yannick Bisson looks exactly the way that she always imagined Detective Murdoch in the novels, except for the mustache Jennings always gave him.

One of the QA team of Sonic Boom even contacted the Grumps, after Dan's "QUALITY ASSURANCE?!" gaffe when reading the end credits, to explain that even they agreed with the Grumps's assessments of the game: They found and reported most of the issues the Grumps complained about, but nothing was done to fix any of them since the game was being so desperately rushed by the higher-ups it was all the dev team could do to duct-tape together something that didn't explode before release date.

Similarily, "Manos: The Hands of Fate" actors Jackey Neyman Jones (Debbie) and her father Tom Neyman (The Master) were both highly pleased to see Manos screened by Joel and the 'bots. They both thought had John Reynolds survived he would have liked the episode as well. Soon after the episode aired Jackey reached out to Best Brains as well to get a copy of the episode.

The Cinemassacre site also hosts some fanart and fan-games as well. James Rolfe subscribes to Derek Alexander's YouTube account, a parody / homage / self-proclaimed ripoff of the AVGN that takes the AVGN's formula and inverts it - instead of drinking beer and playing awful retro games, the HVGN drinks wine and celebrates underrated Cult Classics. One episode was devoted entirely to fanmade AVGN video games (and the recently released The Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures), from games available on the internet to physical homebrew cartridges that he was given at conventions and meetups. Particular praise went to a hacked version of Mega Man 2 that featured the Nerd in Mega Man's place.

Kirby is well aware of the criticisms his fans share of this phenomenon (many arguing it desensitizes a serious art piece and its serious subject matter), but he personally disagrees and has given the spread his blessing, as to him, it represents a widespread curiosity and willingness to engage with very intense and uncomfortable themes, especially among younger audiences unaware of the gravity of dementia.

Sonic co-creator Yuji Naka called the Sonic Fan Film "Awesome!!" on Twitter. Sega in general is pretty lenient when it comes to fan works. When Game Grumps drew the attention of the official Sonic the Hedgehog channel to fan game Green Hill Paradise Act 2, the channel threatened a DMCA... only to reveal they were just kidding and encouraged fans to keep making great stuff. The Sonic Twitter account has also had a lot of fun with Game Grumps episodes of Sonic games, even though every episode takes the piss out of the franchise (Arin Hanson notably loves the aesthetic of Sonic but abhors its gameplay in any fashion). It's become a two-way good-natured street of Arin making fun of the series, and Sonic Twitter having fun at Arin's expense.

Naoki Morita, who designed the world settings for the first four games, commented on Twitter that he was excited about the game.

Approval of God / int_b9a0d78d	comment	Alien: Many people involved in the movie, including director Ridley Scott and star Sigourney Weaver liked the theatre recreation of the film by the North Bergen High School in New Jersey — so much so that Scott donated money for an encore performance and Weaver attended it and even introduced it. The Alien Queen was not designed by H. R. Giger like the original alien, but created specifically for the second film by James Cameron. Cameron, however, showed his sketches and models to Giger, who was absolutely ecstatic.

The original studio recording had a clean guitar lead, whereas in live performances Smith tends to emulate J. Mascis' distorted guitar tone, making the song sort of sound like a hybrid of the original version and the Dinosaur Jr. cover.

Approval of God / int_c4282b71	comment	In general, the showrunners and writers of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic tend to enjoy a lot of the fanworks created by the Periphery Demographic: Equestria Daily was formed in January 2011 as a fansite and is regularly updated with fan material. Not only does The Hub acknowledge its existence, but it also sent official material, from an extended cut of "Equestria Girls" to exclusive interviews with the show's creative staff. Lauren Faust had stated that she was "kinda totally in love with My Little Pony: Fighting Is Magic" and would like to play it when it's finished. She apparently found the idea cool enough that when the game received a C&D order, she offered to design original characters for a new project. She's since officially teamed up with the programmers to create Them's Fightin' Herds. "Weird Al" Yankovic posted a link to a mash-up of MLP and one of his polkas on his Twitter page, then later did the same thing with another mash-up by the same editor. Al even hinted he might be/would like to be on the show at some point. In season 4, he's a special guest voice in the episode "Pinkie Pride" as a party planner rival for Pinkie. Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess once linked to a PMV featuring the band's song "Octavarium", saying he thought it was cool. The not-for-profit, fanmade episode Double Rainboom got approval from Hasbro for its creation. It also got approval from Cartoon Network for the use of The Powerpuff Girls. Ashleigh Ball, voice of Applejack and Rainbow Dash, expressed fondness for the PONY.MOV series, while simultaneously being disturbed by it. Example with official works: the episode "Make New Friends but Keep Discord" includes a couple of references to Metal Gear. Hideo Kojima himself tweeted these.note It's unknown if he missed the one from "It's About Time", though. Devin Townsend apparently approves of a Ponyfication of himself and Anneke Van Giersbergennote who provided guest vocals on a couple of his DTP albums. Rebecca Shoichet gave a thumbs up to Silver Quill for his in-depth character analysis of Sunset Shimmer.

Approval of God / int_c72c2d06	comment	Star Wars Rebels: Dave Filoni showed "Spark of Rebellion" to the maker himself, George Lucas. He liked it. Timothy Zahn, writer of The Thrawn Trilogy, approved of how Rebels was going to put Grand Admiral Thrawn on screen. After the series aired, he praised the writers for their keen understanding of Thrawn's character and how the heroes had to overcome him. In part thanks to fan demand, Katee Sackhoff and Kevin McKidd have expressed interest in reprising their roles as Bo-Katan and Fenn Rau respectively in live-action Star Wars. Sackhoff specifically found it touching that people wanted her to appear in The Mandalorian, which she eventually ended up doing in that show's second season. Fans have pointed out that Rex's aged facial features, skin tone and beard looked identical to a rebel ground soldier from Episode VI, raising questions over if they were the same person and loving the idea because it would give Rex closure to be present at the Empire's fall. While the creators have never confirmed this theory, they loved the idea and nodded to it in the series finale by having Rex be dressed in a very similar outfit to that soldier.

Approval of God / int_d9c602eb	comment	South Park: One episode has Cartman becoming a hall monitor and turning it into a copy of Dog the Bounty Hunter, with his own crew and big-breasted wife, Beth. Dog loved the episode, and the real Beth said they should've made her boobs bigger. Chris Hansen immensely enjoyed his depiction on South Park, saying that it made him cool in the eyes of his sons. Billy Mays' son enjoyed the pastiche of his late father in "Dead Celebrities", where he pitches products to Kyle's younger brother Ike from beyond the grave, and at one point even pitches a threat to physically attack another dead celebrity, which Mays' son says he felt his father would laugh the most at. Nintendo, of all companies, seemed to enjoy the free promotion for the Wii in the "Go God Go" episodes. Not long after the episode aired, a poll on their website was made asking fans how badly they wanted the new console. One of the choices being "Worse than Cartman", which was at 80% when the poll closed. Nintendo later used a clip of him asking his mother for one in a montage for their E3 2007 presentation. They even gave Trey Parker and Matt Stone their own Wii consoles. According to this article, Kanye West enjoyed the "Fish Sticks" episode, though admitted that their parody of him did hurt his feelings a bit. James Cameron enjoyed their take on him in "Raising the Bar," though he denies making his crew members sing sea shanties about him. Interesting to note is that Cameron is portrayed in a fairly positive if not eccentric light as an adventurous man who, as the title of the episodes suggests, raises the bar with everything he does. Cesar Millan the Dog Whisperer has nothing but praise and laughter for his portrayal in Tsst. He is so pleased with how well the writers have Shown Their Work that he actually uses moments from the episode as teaching aids to eagerly explain the science and mentality behind the way his character is treating Cartman, without ever once being able to find Falsely Advertised Accuracy. He even sincerely thanks Matt Stone and Trey Parker for the work they did, for promoting him and his show, and even offers his services if they ever find themselves with an out-of-control dog.

Approval of God / int_e49fc98a	comment	They did this four times for the Unreal series. All the released patches here have Epic's actual blessing, giving them somewhat of semi-official release statusnote For legal reasons, though, forget about seeing them on Steam or GOG.com: The first instance was allowing the Unreal Tournament Preservation Group (UTPG) to release Epic-sanctioned patches, resulting in version 440-451b being released for the game. The second instance took place in 2005, where OldUnreal's admin Smirftsch got Epic's permission to develop patches for Unreal, resulting in ver. 227a-j. Overlapping with Official Fan-Submitted Content, the third instance took place in 2014, where the entire Unreal community got to participate in what would have been Unreal Tournament 4. Sadly, due to the unforeseen success of Fortnite requiring Epic's efforts to be focused on that game, few things came to pass. The last instance took place in 2019, with the UTPG long gone, and was, once again, OldUnreal to the rescue: this time admin AnthraX managed to get Epic's blessing to release community patches for Unreal Tournament, resulting in the ver. 469 patches.

Approval of God / int_e79477d2	comment	There is Black Mesa, a Fan Remake of Half-Life in the Source Engine, which Valve added to Steam through Greenlight. Valve allowed it on condition they remove "Source" from the name (so people wouldn't think it was an official Valve release), and on condition that they got first dibs on playing it.

In early January of 2024,NCsoft finally made a statement about them and to the shock of everyone gave the private server Homecoming not only their blessing to continue, but a license to run the game in a semi-official capacity.
