Signups continue, and several reminders

[slightweasel]

As signups continue for Remix Revival 2017, several reminders:

1. In order to request any fandom, you must qualify to be remixed in that fandom! This means you must have a certain number of works for that fandom on your account. The minimums are: three fics of at least 500 words OR five fics of at least 100 words OR three drawings per requested fandom.

If you only have 1-2 works in a fandom, you may not request it. If you have 3 works in a fandom, but one is a WIP/remix/under 500 words/etc, you may not request it. If you have requested any fandoms without having enough works, those fandoms will be deleted from your requests after signups close; if you don’t have enough works in any of the fandoms you requested, your entire signup will have to be deleted.

Long story short, the more cleaning up I have to do after signups close, the longer it will take to send assignments out. So please make sure your signup is correct. Thanks!

2. Please remember that your remixer will be able to remix any available work by you, whether you requested that fandom or not! If you have written in fandoms A through G, but only request fandoms A and B, fandoms C through G will still be available to your remixer unless they are otherwise ineligible (”safe,” WIPs, collaborations, etc).

Additionally, there is a maximum to the number of “safe” works you can have: up to 3 individual safe works, and/or 1 safe series, and/or 1 safe fandom per signup (not per request).

Does it mean that I can list in my signup 3 safe works AND a safe fandom?

[slightweasel]

Yep! :)

Thanks, that's a relief! :D

[fangirlism]

Are fics marked as co-written eligible?

[slightweasel]

Nope!

[fangirlism]

I was trying to edit my comment haha. So it's not actually going to be a co-written fic, but I need to tag it with a collective account for various purposes.

[slightweasel]

If it's not actually cowritten, you can clarify that in the text box for requests and it should be fine. :)

[fangirlism]

Awesome, thanks!

[slightweasel]

No problem! :D

Quick, probably stupid, question - in the rules "Remix Madness is the free-for-all version of this challenge. Instead of being assigned to write for someone, you can look through the list of signups for Remix Madness and choose whom you want to remix."

I'm a little confused by the mention of signups for 'Remix Madness'- Would that people anyone who signed up for remixrevival itself? Or is this a separate signup somewhere I'm missing?

[slightweasel]

It's a separate signup. Since remixing someone else's fanfic/fanart can sometimes be a little more sensitive than filling prompts in other gift exchanges, treating is treated as a totally different/separate thing than the main exchange (meaning that if someone signs up for Remix Revival, they still can't be remixed for Remix Madness unless they sign up for that too. And someone who doesn't sign up for the main exchange can still sign up for Remix Madness if they want to).

Remix Madness will open for signups on the day remixes are due for the other collection (Sept 10), so there will be more info at that time. :)

[donutsweeper]

Ah, I see. Thanks!

Re matching: Can someone who offers an umbrella fandom be matched on any fandom under the umbrella, or only on people who request the umbrella? (I.e., can an MCU offer be matched on someone who is requesting Thor movies?)

Also, re remixing: for umbrellas that have multiple sub-fandoms about the same characters (for example, any umbrella that includes books, comics, and/or movies), does a remix have to stay within the original sub-fandom, or can a remix move the pairings and plot from one sub-fandom to an adjacent one?

[slightweasel]

Matching: The AO3 matching script looks at the exact tag, without taking subtags into account. So in your example, if you offer MCU, you will match to people who requested MCU, not to anyone who only requested the Thor movies.

Remixing for umbrella fandoms: If they requested the umbrella fandom, anything goes! If they requested a subfandom, though, I'd set the remix in that subfandom or in a subfandom in the same continuity.

[sanguinity]

Excellent, thank you!

[theladyscribe]

I have a question regarding umbrella fandoms + their sub-fandoms. I have more than enough stories to qualify for both MCU and Captain America (Movies), but I have them lumped together on my fic index (here, for reference). Should I request both fandoms or just MCU?

ETA: I'd like to request both, but I wasn't sure if that's allowed because of the way my index is set up.

[slightweasel]

You can request both, just clarify the index thing in the text area of your sign up. :)
