gauging interest in a remix ficathon

[deird1]

Is anyone interested in a Buffyverse remix ficathon?


Since the Remix doesn't appear to be happening this year, I'm missing my remix-ness. That one was huge, though, so I can see why no-one wants to take it over.

So – if we held a smaller remix, of Buffyverse fics, would anyone come?


Show of hands?

I'd be very interested, since the Remix was one of my favourite ficathons, but I already have Rare Women, ShipSwap, Not Prime Time and The Mentalist Remix lined up, so whether I could participate would depend on when the remix would take place.

I'm committed to Heroine Big Bang, and I have never done a remix before, but... maybe. Definitely maybe.

Quite possibly. It's not like there have been many Buffy persons in the remix lately, so it wouldn't be that much smaller in a way. I'll cheerfully pimp anything too.

But I am getting quite booked up April to June now. Slight eek.

Possibly a silly question, but what is a remix ficathon?

[deird1]

Not a silly question - just one I was silly enough not to answer in advance. Sorry...

Here are my remixes. In each one of them, I've taken someone else's existing fic, and rewritten it differently.

So, a Dawn/Xander fic that used to be from Xander's POV is now from Dawn's POV. Or a short scene between Xander and Kennedy becomes a longer story about Kennedy getting to know Willow's friends. And so forth.

There used to be a yearly Remix ficathon for hundreds of people, but that's stopped. So now we need to find other ways to get our remixing on.

Make sense?

[hickumu]

...huh. So, a different take or interpretation of an existing fic without outright changing the events of the existing fic. Interesting! If I'm understanding you right.

I'd be game. I've got a few fics up that I'd be interested to see people's take on, and I fancy myself good at adaptatations.

Whoohoo! Thanks for letting me know :) .

Probably maybe? I've only ever done one remix and it was challenging, but I'd be game for it.

I'd be interested, although my stuff's mainly on livejournal. Are you thinking of hosting it on Dreamwidth, or maybe AO3?

[deird1]

Not sure yet. It'd either be based on Dreamwidth, with everyone leaving links to their own journals, or on AO3 with extra-special anonimity for the first week...

It really depends on the timing, but, if my schedule allows, I'd definitely be interested! April/May is fairly busy for me, due to a number of other ficathons and such, so I can't commit until there's a hard date set.

Oh, yeah

[aadler]

Definitely interested. Though, like several others, my time is slightly restricted at the moment; I’d be a lot more comfortable with May-to-June than April-to-May.

Absolutely in! (And have been meaning for over a week now to actually say so, sorry.)
