Question Asking Post

[clachnaben]

We appreciate this is a new format for a challenge, so we wanted to give people a chance to ask questions. This is a post to ask questions where everyone can see and we can post public answers. If you’d like to send us a question privately, you can email us at remixapod@gmail.com, or send us a dm @remixapod.

Will there be a tag set for writer sign-ups so we know what fandoms are being offered?

[eafay70]

What are the expectations (for want of a better word) at each check-in? Is it a certain percent of the work done, for example?

[calliatra]

Will there be any possibility for writers to write treats without signing up?

[yue_ix]

Yay!!

Also, questions :
1) is this strictly podficcer and writer remix? No visual or audio remix allowed for this round?

If yes, does the remix text:
A) have to be a written down? Could it be an oral!not!fic?

B) could it be a not!fic at all?

C) does it have to be a fic or can it be poetry or meta or something else, as long as it is 1k?

Re Permissions

[semperfiona]

I think permission would also be required from the original author of the text that was podficced?

It's not really clear to me after reading the rules, but the podficcer is submitting previously created podfics? They're not creating podfics just for this challenge?

I know that only traditional fic (no meta, aural not!fic, etc) was allowed for the written remixes, but does that extend to the podfics as well? To be more specific, I have poems (original works), in-universe meta (original works/sports RPF) and language meta (with kind of original fiction?) that I'd love to submit. No problem if that's out of the bounds of this challenge! I'd totally understand a general "please don't". Just, you know, thought I'd try :p
Also, do you count several original works as belonging to one fandom?

[yue_ix]

I would like to sign-up as an author but would also like to include as many fandoms as possible in my sign-up. Your spreadsheet is super helpful for this, but might get new fandoms added to it I hadn't thought of after I've signed up.

Will I be able to add fandoms to my sign-up after it is submitted? May I include "almost any fandom, please ask me"?

I'd wait until the very last day so that the list is completed but knowing myself I will forget or something will happen that night and won't get to sign up at all.

So, is there going to be an AO3 collection we can submit finished works to, or is there one already I overlooked?

[eafay70]

I have a couple of questions regarding posting:

-My fic includes a plot point that came from a comment on the original work, but wasn't included in the podfic. (The podfic included freetalk in which the podficcer recommended reading that particular comment on the original work.) Should I therefore also link back to the original work as a "work inspired by"?

-Should I gift my fic to the podficcer and/or author of the original work? (They're two different people.)

Let me know if this doesn't make sense - I'm typing this on relatively little coffee because I'm in a rush, but don't want to forget to ask!

[eafay70]

Is there a specific time on Saturday at which the collection will be closed?

According to the timeline, it looks like this should have de-anoned yesterday. Checking on the status, as some people do like to do a monthly wrap-up and would probably like to include their works with this month.
