...and both will stay open for posting for the time being!

Remember, if you posted a work as the answer to a prompt in Madness, it won't automatically fill in the recipient in the "gift" field. So check to see if your prompt has been filled by someone!

All our pinch hits are claimed, and we're on track to open on time on September 16 (exact time TBA). Treats are welcomed and encouraged - check out the list of requests here.

The longer period between the deadline and the reveal is to take the pressure off pinch hitters, but also to allow folks to explore Remix Madness, which is still open for prompts. Take a look at the requests here. Remember there's no minimum requirements for works created for madness, and no limit to how many safe works/fandoms/pseuds (and no minimum requirement for number of works in a requested fandom) for prompts. Have fun!

*Housekeeping note: I was recently promoted to a much more demanding position at work, which means I'm less accessible during daytime (MST) hours. Apologies! If you have an urgent, time-sensitive issue or question, then the best way to get in touch is via email. You can reach me at mod4remixrevival @ gmail.

About 24 hours left. Here's a countdown!

If you need an extension, please do get in touch. Comments are screened for that purpose.

Some new/old pinch hits are now up for grabs. Please comment with your AO3 name if you wish to claim one!

( PH 1: Forever Knight )

( PH 7: Desert Peach )

( PH 8: Naruto, My Hero Academia )

( PH 10: Final Fantasy XV )

( PH 12: CLAIMED )

( PH 13: Dublin Murder Squad Series - Tana French, Star Trek AOS )

These are all due September 1st, the same time as regular assignments.

Sign ups for the main Remix round are closed. Matching will run tonight and I'll be getting in touch with any unmatchable participants in the next day or so. Keep an eye on your email - I'll also be in touch if you don't have enough eligible works in the fandoms you requested!

Madness sign ups will stay open for the duration of the round, and both collections will be opened for posting works when assignments go out - no later than July 27.

Hey guys, remember that sign ups for the main exchange close tomorrow, July 20, at 11:59 PM, Mountain Standard Time. Here's a countdown!

In the meantime, Remix Madness sign ups are now open! These will stay open throughout the rest of the exchange, until both collections are revealed in September.

A few refresher rules:

• No rules on what you can submit for remixing in Madness. There are no minimum requirements for fandoms, and you can list WIPs or crossovers.
• IF YOU WANT A COLLABORATION TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR REMIXING: All creators involved in the creation of the work must be signed up for Madness, and give permission for that work to be remixed.
• You don't have to be signed up for the main Remix round to participate in Madness.
• No requirements as far as works go - create whatever you like, long or short!
• You can mark as many works/fandoms safe as you'd like for Madness. You're also free to put whatever requests you'd like in your sign up, such as "please don't remix any of my Kirk/Spock fics," or "I only want x, y, and z to be remixed".
• WIPs, collaborations, and crossovers are OPT-IN. That means if you wish to remix one of these for someone else, they must indicate on their prompt that they are okay with it. 
• No WIPs allowed. Whatever you create must be complete, for both Madness and the main Remix round.

Full set of rules are here. If you have questions, my inbox is open, or you can leave a comment here. 

The Madness collection will open for works at the same time as the main collection, after assignments have gone out for the main Remix round. Have fun!

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.
