Guidelines
What is a remix?
A remix is a re-envisioning of another’s earlier fanwork. Essentially, it is a retelling of someone else’s story in your own style from a different perspective, angle, or theme.
What can I do for a remix?
For this event, we'll be accepting fanworks such as fanfiction, fanart, and fanvids/fanedits.
Minimum entry requirements:
✦ Written Work: 1,000 words
✦ Fanart: Cleaned-up Sketch
✦ Fanvids/Edits: 30 seconds
How can I remix?
While you can change many things for remixes, the basic plot/premise and main character(s) must be retained.
However, you can:
■ POV flip — Retelling the same events from a different character's point of view or switching between first, second, or third person
■ Sequel/Prequel — The remixer explores what led up to the events in the original work, or what may have happened after.
■ Genre change — Changing a western into a space opera or changing between slash, het, or gen.
■ Trope addition — An extra trope is added by the remixer.
■ New spin/tone shift — The same things happen as in the original fic, but they mean something different than they did in the original. For example, a happy time travel fic might be portrayed as tragic by the remixer.
