We're going to try a different kind of exchange for us as our
main May challenge (there will be a challenge in May for non-participants):
Lupin/Snape Remix Exchange
What is a remix exchange? Participants are randomly assigned to each other and they must rewrite a story or recreate a piece of art originally created by their recipient. The core pairing (Snupin!), setting and plot must be retained, but everything else can be changed.
Er, I could use some examples? Remix Redux 09 Potter fics - there is one Snupin to be found there.
HP Art Remix - there is a Snupin on the first page.
What do I need to sign up? A link list with a minimum of 5 pieces of art or 5 stories of 500 words or more. You are welcome to provide a link to your archive if every piece you've ever created is up for grabs. Otherwise, I suggest compiling a list of no more than 10 pieces so your recipient will not be overwhelmed. Be sure to
leave off pieces you feel are sacred. No Works in Progress, please. You may provide your link list in your sign-up or at a post on your journal.
What If I don't have enough material? If you are very new to Snupin and still want to participate, we can negotiate a link list based on what you have completed, including drabbles and drawables, but expect to receive another person with a short list in exchange. Contact me at the mod mail (provided below) well before the end of sign-ups.
What does a participant need to give? A story or piece of art that is a remix based on one piece provided by your assigned creator. Art must be finished in a way similar to the art you choose (although you may convert color to black and white or vice-versa). Stories must be 500 words or more and do
not have to be similar in length to the original. You can give more pieces if you like.
What does "Major Squicks" mean in the sign-up? Do
not make an exhaustive squick list here. I expect that most people will provide a variety of stories or art and you will be able to find at least one that does not contain your major squicks. However, in case someone does provide all darkfic or all NC17 or some other extreme list, it would be good to know your extremes, just in case.
Deadlines? Sign-ups end the evening of April 25. Assignments will go out the last week in April and your pieces are
due May 30. Posting will begin in June. Finished works should be sent to the mod mail:
lupinsnape@gmail.comSounds good, how do I sign up? You may sign up on IJ or LJ, but not at both places. Reply here,
copy and pasting the following and providing answers:
Preferred pseudonym (LJ or IJ name or Nickname with no link):Preferred contact email address: Major squicks (see above note on this): URL for your link list or the link list itself: Your copy and paste (add a link break [hit "enter"] between the items):
If you have any other questions or concerns, please ask here or contact me at the mod mail. I might delete question posts as I address them to keep the sign-up post neat and tidy. I will ask for pinch hitters if needed as we go, but I'm hoping not to need them because you are all so good and reliable! ♥
love, lore
Rules cribbed from or inspired by Victoria P's yearly remix challenge; I looked at the 2009 version here.
