Gen Remix Sign-Ups!

What's this all about?
* Ever read a fic and think, wow, what a fascinating story, but if I had written it, I would have... Well, now here's your chance to do just that. Rewrite someone else's story, tell somebody else's tale. Take the work of another person and wrap it up in your vision and style, just like a remixer does to songs.

Oh, darn

[aadler]

I love the idea of this (I get almighty tired of the seeming dominance of ’ship and slash in fandom these days), but I just finished doing remixredux, and there are other stories that I really feel I have an obligation to address. How often will you be doing this remix? When will the next one begin?

Re: Oh, darn

[kerravonsen]

Hopefully annually.

Yes, I know that it's hot on the heels of RemixRedux, but there are so many ficathons around, and it's so very hard not to clash with them. We've just had Remix, we're soon going to have Multiverse, then the finish-a-thon, then NaNoWriMo, then Yuletide... and there goes the year. Since Multiverse is usually around this time of year, I thought it better to start as soon as possible (so as to hopefully have the deadline earlier than Multiverse) rather than wait for Multiverse to be over, since the start-time of Multiverse has ranged from March to May, it isn't that predictable.

You might be interested in joining the finish-a-thon which I'll be running over September-October. The idea of the finish-a-thon is that it's a ficathon for finishing your own stories. They have to be stories that aren't part of any other ficathon; you give a list of WIPs and/or story ideas, and folks vote on which one you have to finish. Then you have 8 weeks to finish it. Sort of like NaNoWriMo only not so difficult.

Okay, I probably shouldn't do this, but...

...I can't resist the lure of a gen-only remix. I have gotten so sick of fandom's obsession with pairings, this seems a very cool idea to me.

Oh, specifying Trek

[alara_r]

I have *written* all Treks (though most of my output is TNG and Voyager.) But I won't remix Enterprise. So for remixing purposes, I'd like to write in Star Trek TNG, Voy, DS9, or TOS.

Re: Oh, specifying Trek

[kerravonsen]

Thanks, I was going to ask "Which Trek" but you beat me to it. 8-)

I assume you mean the new Battlestar Galactica, and not the original series?

[stargatebabe]

Either old or new, so long as it is specified, thanks.

[kerravonsen]

It looks as if only Stargate SG-1 qualifies as a remixable fandom for you -- it's the only one that you've written at least THREE stories in. Unless there's another archive of your stories you haven't listed?

Fandoms in which you've written at least three (3) 500 word stories: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel.
Top Three Fandoms you'd like to write in: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Harry Potter.
Other fandoms I would write in: Um... that's basically it, unfortunately. I don't consider myself familiar enough with other fandoms.
Safe Story: Enemies. (Honestly, I wouldn't care, except I plan on going back and fixing it.)
Remix(es) Written: I can't actually tell you yet, since the remixredux isn't open to veiwing.
Stories of yours remixed in past remixes: I don't know yet.
Pinch hit? I'd be willing, but... my schedule is weird.

[kerravonsen]

Er, I don't think "Angel" qualifies as a fandom, since you've only written one Angel story; all the others appear to be Buffy stories.

[sroni]

True. Sorry. In that case, it's Buffy.
