Dear Remixer letter
Apr. 2nd, 2014 11:13 pmRemixRedux 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!
