Assignments are out. Make sure you get in touch if your assignment doesn't match what you offered! Also be sure to get in touch if your recipient doesn't have enough eligible fics for remixing - I did go through and check everything, but things do slip through the cracks.

We have some initial pinch hits. If you wish to claim, please comment with your AO3 name. These are due at the same time as regular assignments.

 5 hours left to sign up! Here's the countdown.

Because we are not using a tagset for this exchange, the AO3 sign up form requires the fandom tags you use to be canonical. If the fandom you are requesting or offering is small/new enough that there's currently no tag wrangled for it, we will have to use an alternative. 

The following are fandoms that currently default to a larger canonical tag that we will be using for the purposes of sign ups/matching:  

• Neoscum (Podcast) --> Please use the fandom tag "Shadowrun"
• Fake AH Crew --> Please use the fandom tag "Rooster Teeth/Achievement Hunter RPF"

If a fandom you're interested in offering or requesting is in a similar situation, please comment here and we can work out an alternative tag to use. You may also add a clarifying note in your sign up, should you be using one of these tags. 

I'll be updating this list with any more fandoms we come across with this problem. Thanks for your patience everyone!

Sign ups for the 2019 round of Remix Revival will open on July 1. The main collection is here, and the Madness collection is here.

What's the difference?
The main Remix Revival exchange is a traditional gift exchange. You will sign up with the understanding that you will create a remixed work for someone else and in return, someone will be assigned to create a remix for you. The rules for this collection are the same for any other gift exchange - we will not reveal the works until everyone who participated receives a gift, pinch hits will be posted here to the community, and works will be anonymous for first week.

The Madness round, on the other hand, is set up like a prompt claiming meme. There is no minimum for works created for Madness, and you do not have to be signed up for the main exchange to participate. You can remix as many works as you want, and you DO NOT have to opt in to be remixed in order to create works for other people.

Treats, aka extra works created for people you were not assigned to, are also posted to the Madness collection. There is no minimum/maximum limit on work size/type for treats either, and you can create as many as you want.

A few reminders! This is what you need in order to participate in the main Remix Revival exchange:

For each fandom in your requests, you must have:

• Three (3) qualifying stories of at least 500 words OR
• Five (5) qualifying stories of at least 100 words OR
• Three (3) qualifying drawings (no manips, please)

in that fandom, and be willing to have them remixed. You must also be willing to remix someone else's story/art.

The minimum limit on requested fandoms is one (1), so if you have only created works in one fandom, you can still sign up as long as there are at least a few of them. If you do not have enough qualifying works in any fandom to sign up for the main exchange, please feel free to opt into Remix Madness when signups have opened over there.

A qualifying work is a work that:

• Is complete
• Is at least 100 word long (for fic)
• Is not a crossover
• Is not a remix
• Is not a collaboration
• Is not denoted as "safe"
• Is in a medium you have requested to be remixed in
• Is posted on your AO3 account or available publicly at another site*

You must also be willing to remix someone else's fic/art, and must match to at least one person's request once signups close. If there is no one for you to write/draw for, you will be asked to add to your offers.

*If your works are posted outside of AO3, they should be easy to navigate via a masterpost or similar. Please don't link to a tumblr tag for your works unless they are in a single fandom, as your remixer should not get a headache trying to find your works in X fandom.

Can I denote a "safe" work - aka, one that is not allowed to be remixed by my creator?
Yes! However, you are limited to a MAXIMUM of:

• Three (3) individual safe works;
• One (1) safe series;
• one (1) safe fandom*
• one (1) pre-existing safe pseud**.

You may have 3 safe works AND 1 safe series AND 1 safe fandom AND 1 safe pseud if you want to.

Safe works and works within your safe series/safe fandom/safe pseud are completely off-limits to your remixer.

Safe work limits are per signup (not per request)

*In general, if you can request/offer a fandom, you can safe work that fandom as well. So you can safe work umbrella tags or "All Media Types" tags if you want to.

**"Safe pseuds" are something requested last year that are going in on a trial basis this year. It is intended for use by people with pre-existing pseuds only (ie, please don't make a brand-new pseud in order to safe work extra things). If it's abused or causes any problems, it will not be an option going forward.

If you want to receive a fic remix of your art or an art remix of your fic:
You're in luck there, too, as both requests and offers will allow you to indicate what kind of works you have, and what kind of works you would like to receive.

Fic Remixed As Fic = the traditional remix, where you'll receive or write a fic remixing another fic
Fic Remixed As Art = you'll receive an art remix for your fic, or offer an art remix for someone else's fic
Art Remixed As Art = you'll receive an art remix of your art, or draw a remix of someone else's art
Art Remixed As Fic = you'll receive a story remix of your art, or write a remix of someone else's art

Are there similar requirements to submit prompts for Remix Madness?
Nope. All that is required is that you have at least one fic available in the fandom you are requesting. There is no minimum requirement (the only rule is that works must be complete), and you can denote as many safe fics/fandoms as you want. You are more than welcome to say "please only remix x, y, and z" or whatever other specific request you have. It truly is a free-for-fall, the reason being that they are prompts available to claim rather than assignments.
