I don't mind being linked. If I do, I say so in the post.
I agree with you on barriers. A few days ago, I stumbled upon a German post of someone who wanted to translate a story on an archive but she had no way to ask the author because all the options were archive-only, which was why she was asking someone else to ask for her. Barriers like that are really unnecessary.
People with different nationalities also sometimes emphasize different aspects of canon, which really could enrich some fandoms that are OTP-heavy, for an example.
