User blog comment:Raidra/How do you feel when one of your stories is narrated?/@comment-3999760-20170628195755

It feels nice to have your work narrated as it introduces your writing to a wider audience. As for narrators that don't credit the authors in their narrations, they just hurt the writers and pedal content that they are falsely attributing. I haven't seen this happen to me that much since my stories aren't widely popular (or remarkable,) and are often narrated by smaller channels that do credit me. Though, I haven't given much investigation to it since my stories have been out in the open for years, so I wouldn't doubt it that there are few people not crediting me and/or modifying the story to make it their own.

As for the narrators contacting me? While I do not care if they get permission or not from me as I believe in the tradition of spreading the story around the web, it is nice (and recommended) for narrators to at least message the author if they're going to use their story.
