Posting Instructions

Please link the podfic(s) you’re remixing as a Work(s) Inspired By when you’re creating your AO3 draft. Gifting your remix to the podficcer you’re matched with is not required.

Please feel free to respond to any notes on the podfic that you remixed, in an author’s note or similar, or to provide any similar commentary on the remix you make. (We like to think this encourages comments!)

All non text-based remixes must have a transcript or description (fanmixes may provide links to lyrics pages instead).

Also, here’s a reminder of the various format minimums:

• Traditional fic and not!fic: 500 words
• Poetry: 20 lines
• Podfic remix/splices: 1 minute
• Oral not!fic: 3 minutes
• Fanmix: 10 songs
• Fanvid: 30 seconds
• Digital art: 2000 pixels (20x100, 80x250, etc.)
• For analogue art and other physical creations, the only minimum requirement is that you consider it complete.
• For any formats where minimums are not specified, we only require that you consider it complete (or use your judgement).

Remixes

To submit your remixes to this challenge, please add your AO3 work to the main collection:

Link to Remixapod 2020 collection.

The main collection is unrevealed, which means once you add your work to the collection and post, it will be found under Works > Works in Collections, rather than the usual place. It will also not be deleted from your drafts after a month. The collection is also anonymous, which means nobody will be able to see which work is yours within the collection.

The main collection will close at midnight Pacific time on the 2nd June 2020.

Treats

To submit your treats, please add your AO3 work to this collection:

Link to Remixapod 2020 treats collection.

The treats collection is completely open and unrestricted, which means that anyone will be able to see any works you submit to it. We will also not be closing the collection at the end of the Remixapod timeline (but we’ll stop doing any promo after that point).

Minimums do not apply to treats, but non text-based remixes must have a transcript or description (fanmixes may provide links to lyrics pages instead).

Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions! You can comment right here, on the FAQ post, on twitter @ remixapod or send us an email: remixapod at gmail.

Matches

All matches have now gone out to authors. If you signed up as an author, please check your email and read your match email.

We've done our best to match everyone on as many podfic and fandoms as possible. Please let us know as early as possible if your match doesn't work for you, so that we can make arrangements.

If you have any questions for your podficcer, please ask the mods via email or DM (remixapod or on twitter as remixapod), and we'll relay them to the individual podficcer. If you have general questions (about format, deadlines, etc), we'd prefer you to ask them in a public forum (on the question post, or on twitter) so that other people can see.

While you're writing, we'd like to ask you avoid the major archive warnings (Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character Death, Underage and Rape/Non-Con) unless your podfic already includes them. Remember that your fic should be a remix of, or be inspired by the podfic you received. The word minimum is 1,000 words. We'll be in touch with authors next on April 11th, our first check-in.

Treats

We are also doing treats for Remixapod! We've created a spreadsheet of every podfic submitted to remixapod, and we're making it available to everyone, regardless of whether you originally signed up or not. Anyone can create any remix of a podfic they desire. For treats, there are no format requirements, and no word limit. This means you could write a drabble, bake a cake, sing a song, etc. Our only rule is that, for accessibility reasons, all treats include a transcript if they're not in a written format.

The treats spreadsheet is HERE.

We'll be posting the posting instructions for treats alongside our assignment posting in a few weeks, but in the meantime, happy remixing! We can't wait to see what you make!
