RemixRedux 11 assignments are out! I matched my remixee on two fandoms, and am currently trawling through their archive. (They have also written in a bunch of other fandoms I know, not to mention a lot that I don't know and/or do know but am actively uninterested in for various reasons, but I'm reading the main ones first.)

---------------

To whoever is remixing me, I would like to say three things:

First, please do not worry excessively about my feelings. You are not writing a story for me. (I already wrote that version! It's the one you're reading. *grin*) What you are doing is taking a scenario I played with and writing the version that you want to see out there in the world.

Second, WIPs should be labeled as such in the summary metadata on my master list posts. If something is instead labeled as a fragment, that means it is a piece of what ought to be a larger story, but I didn't feel like writing the larger story (for whatever reason) so the fragment is functionally complete as posted and thus free to be remixed.

Third, if we happened to match on Harry Potter, please feel free to treat any of the component ficlets of "Fixation, and Other Stories" as separate, standalone works for remixing purposes -- especially the ones from the "Other Stories" chapters, since those are not part of any unified narrative. Even aside from that, they were all written as individual ficlets, and could just as easily have been posted as a series collection rather than a single over-arching story.

I think those are the only points that might be unclear.

I wish you the best of luck in your writing!

Things I have done recently:

1. Finished and posted my Jadefest fic. It's kind of, um, not really a Jade fic? Even though it is unquestionably a response to the prompt I was working from! I want to see if I can add some kind of opening scene to focus it more on her, because as it stands it's an ensemble fic and that was not the point of the exchange. (I have also posted one of my false starts as a treat, because it may have fallen wildly short of the minimum word count but it's still a complete ficlet and, while a slightly less direct response to the prompt, much more focused on Jade.)

2. Signed up for RemixRedux 11! This year I qualified in Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, Inception, Naruto, and Star Trek: AOS. (I also qualify in Angel Sanctuary, Homestuck, and The Dark Is Rising, but those are not qualifying fandoms for matching purposes, so they're just listed as optional side things. Ah well, such is life.)

3. Made pot roast! Variations from my first attempt include fewer carrots (because Susan ate some while she was here and I forgot to buy more), more beef (1.1lb rather than .95lb), plain cream of mushroom soup rather than cream of mushroom with garlic, and half a soup can less of water. So it tastes a little different, doesn't have quite as many veggies, and is less soupy.

Next time, I will go back to the mushroom soup with garlic, and use more carrots (I dislike carrots cooked on their own, but carrots in soup or stew-type things are lovely), while continuing the more-beef-less-water aspects.

4. Taught RE. This week's lesson was on non-violence, and after the story and question/activity thingy, we made -- I swear I am not making this up -- What Would UU Do? bracelets. Which are basically What Would Jesus Do? bracelets by another name. It is so tacky. (Also a terrible pun on our denominational nickname and U as in "you.") But kids like playing with beads, so a fun time was had by all.

5. Agreed to cover Serenity's shift this coming Saturday, like I did this past Saturday, since her father-in-law died this morning and she needs to be in Rochester that weekend for... funeral arrangements and/or packing up his house? I dunno, I'm getting this secondhand via Boss Lady, so it's a bit garbled and incomplete. Either way, I feel terrible for her. :-(

Hey everyone! RemixRedux is back this year, thanks to the wonderful

laurificus, who is currently soliciting advice on the qualifying fandom list.

Basically, in order to sign up for RemixRedux, you must have written a minimum of fics (5 of over 500 words, or 7 of over 100 words) in at least one qualifying fandom. Qualifying, in this case, means large-ish and with enough other people who are willing to sign up for Remix who have written stories in that fandom and are willing to remix in it. You must also be willing to remix in at least one qualifying fandom. (I think one of your "I have enough stories" and "I'm willing to write this" fandoms must be the same, but I may be misremembering.) The point of that is to make sure every participant can be matched! You can, of course, offer and request other fandoms -- not to mention your remixer may decide to work with a completely random story in some other tiny fandom you happen to have written for, so long as you didn't declare that story off-limits -- but the qualifying fandoms are a big deal.

There is a poll and suggestions post open right now over on LJ. Go! Vote! Try to round up other people interested in your pet fandom!

Speaking of which... would anybody be interested in trying to get Homestuck listed as a qualifying fandom? It's certainly large enough, but I don't think the Homestuck demographic has a huge amount of overlap with the traditional RemixRedux demographic. On the other hand, Ouroboros Mix (a Homestuck-only remix fest) generated reasonable interest and participation last year, so... more remixes, more fun? Yes? I think yes!

(I also qualify in Chronicles of Narnia, Naruto, Harry Potter, Inception, and Star Trek: AOS, so getting Homestuck onto the list will not make or break my participation, but I am always in favor of more options. *grin*)
