Two Weeks to Go! Also: Headers and what to do if you go on holiday.
Remixes are due two weeks from today, on Wednesday, July 8.
Since up here in the northern hemisphere it is the height of holiday season, please think ahead and, if you are not actually going to be somewhere with internet on July 8, let me know. In the event that you won't be able to post that day, I will ask you to please email your remix to me (chips.remixed @ gmail.com) so that I may post it here in your stead. Then, when you get back home, you may go ahead and repost anywhere you wish.
And because I know a few of you are finished or finishing, a word about the header for your remix. Please use the following example to guide you:
Title: Runaways (The Bedroom Window Remix)
Original Author:
the_tenzo
Remixer:
papilio_luna
Characters/Pairings: Rose, Ten2/Rose implied
Rating: All Ages
Summary: Mortgages, carpets, and bedroom windows that look out over the back garden.... The reality is a bit different, looking from the other side of the glass.
A/N: Written for the chips_remixed Doctor/Rose fic remix challenge. [Plus anything else you want to say about your remix, or the original fic that inspired it.]
(The link or fake-cut to where your fic actually lives goes here)
In the above example, "Runaways" is the original fic, and "Runaways (the Bedroom Window Remix)" is the remix. That system of nomenclature is sort of standard for remixes-that the title of the original fic stays put, and the remixer adds "(The _____ Remix)" to it. Note that the title links to the original fic, and the original author is credited in the header. Please always be aware that you're basing your fic on someone else's work, and your readers should be able to easily tell who the remixed author is, what the remixed fic is called, and where it can be found. If you post to Teaspoon, however, please note that the mods there are a bit finicky when it comes to what information is included in the Summary, and what information belongs in the Author's Note. Read their rules carefully before submitting there in order to avoid it getting bounced back at you.
Okay, clear as mud? Any questions can go in the comments and I'll try to answer as best I can. Good luck! I can't wait to see what you all come up with!
