Hey, I was just thinking about remixes. Lotrips fandom has run it several years in a row over at

lotrips_remix, fairly successfully, I think.

Er, for those of you who are puzzled; the way it goes is this: It's set up like a challenge, only instead of a prompt that you receive, you 'remix' another participant's story. I.e you re-write it from a different character's viewpoint. so it's not really a sequel or follow up in that story's 'verse, or fanfiction of the original story, where the events are changed - it really is a remix, a different version/view of the same story.

There's a degree of anonymity (a la Sekrit Santa/Kris Kringle) for a while after the stories are posted, and participants can nominate a couple of stories that they *don't* want remixed, if they're sensitive about one/some in particular. That said, they need to have a body of work (like, more than 4 stories, I think?), the participant who is assigned them has to choose a story from that body of work (you don't get to choose which story of yours is remixed).

I think a Supernatural fandom remix challenge thing would be cool. It could have some specifications, like people could say if they were happy to read or receive slash/wincest stories, or only gen stories, that kinda thing.

So, uh, of course as semester just started and I'm starting to get real busy, I need some fandom committments to amp up my stress levels! In other words, I'd totally organise this. And bitch and whine and sweat about it, but yaknow, I kinda miss not having that right now.

edit: okay! apparently

spn_remix is already running. why didn't I know about this? ho well. maybe next time.

I'm kinda amused, though. In this fandom, more than any other I've been in, I swear we have a collective consciousness. There are so many vid and fic ideas I get that sprout up immediately afterward, it's fascinating.

While not signing up myself, I would pimp it to everyone I came across.

Whee! yeah, please do. I'm glad I'm not the only one who think it'd be awesome :D Especially with this fandom, where everyone loves the same characters!! not like a fandom with a big ensemble cast and people have differing focuses. I think it has the potential to be great.

PIMP!

hi there!!

cathybites actually just set up a spn remix under, uhm, I think

spn_remix. the stories arent due until 9/30, so if you wanted in you might be able to poke her and see what's what, though she sent out assignments last week, I think.

(also, hello!)

hah, hey! why didn't I know about that? Thanks for letting me know, though :D

*edits post*

(hi!)

I swear we have a collective consciousness.

so very, very true.
