Remix title ideas
Remix assignments have been sent out. Hopefully everyone has had the opportunity to read through their assigned authors' Arthur/Eames works and get some ideas about what they'd like to remix.
A few thoughts about remixes from Fanlore:
Remixing techniques include (but are not limited to): retelling the same events from a different character's point of view, switching the narrative voice (e.g. from first to third person), changing the tone of a story, focusing on a different point in time in the same sequence of events, covering a smaller or larger scope of events, or writing an AU. Writers sometimes incorporate the dialogue or description of the original work into their remix story.
The word 'remix' to describe this rewriting and re-telling practice was chosen as a riff on the practice of remixes in pop music, where the vocal and instrumental tracks of a song are rearranged in time, speed, duration, or possibly entirely replaced.
Remix titles aren't necessary for this challenge, but in case you'd like some fun ideas and possibilities from current musical remixes:
Bob Marley - 'Is This Love' (LVNDSCAPE & Bolier Remix)
Drake & Rihanna - 'Too Good' (Lured & NGO Remix) (Conor Maynard & Sarah Close Cover)
Calvin Harris & Rihanna - 'This Is What You Came For' (Kiso Remix) (Jillea Cover)
Alicia Keys - 'In Common' (Black Coffee Remix)
Bryson Tiller - 'Rambo' (The Weeknd Remix)
Kanye West - 'Real Friends' (Erykah Badu Remix)
Bryson Tiller - 'Don't (WSTRN Remix)'
Yo Gotti Feat. Nicki Minaj - 'Down In The DM' (Remix)
Here's the schedule for the rest of the challenge:
Sunday, April 16 - Story drafts due (six weeks)
Sunday, April 23 - Stories posted anonymously to Ao3 Inception Remix Collection
Friday, April 28 - Authors will be revealed
