Missing Pieces...

With three exchanges under the belt of hprare_exchange in about a year's time, I feel it's time to really get some feedback from all of you

1. What would a remix exchange involve? *is clueless*
2. Rarepair awards sound great! How would that work?
3. A character-centric exchange sounds like so much fun. I'd love to do that.

Also, a follow-up comment to the time length question. I picked longer because finding a beta and getting the story back and editing it takes time as well as the actual writing. If RL gets busier, I have less time to finish the fic and therefore less time to get it beta'd and less editing time. I'm okay staying at one month, of course, that's just my two cents.

Have you ever heard a remix of a song on the radio or somewhere? It's the same basic principle. In a remix exchange, you are assigned to a particular author. The author can designate one 'safe story' that you can't do anything to, but aside from that, you read through their stuff and choose one story that you want to retell/remix. This could be by telling the story from a different point of view, from the point of view of a different character, possibly changing up the sequential order (giving flashes of the end throughout the story), adding more commentary for/ellaborating upon about particular events parts of the plot, adding in scenes that you think could have happened or were hinted to have happened, etc, etc

I kind of like the idea of a remix exchange - that would be so fun! I really don't think I'd sign up for a character-centric exchange, though, unless it was a character I was comfortable writing (which neither Sirius or Regulus are).

I would be really, really interested in a remix exchange. Really. I don't know how I can stress how interested I am. Character-centric exchanges sound interesting, too, but I don't think they'd have as large an appeal as a freestyle (I coin a random word here) exchange.
