remixapodmod

Remixapod is a multi-fandom remix challenge where creators make multiformat fanworks that are remixes of, or inspired by, podfic and audio fanworks.

This challenge is in the fannish tradition of reverse big bangs, and remix challenges, but with a twist. Podficcers submit a number of works, and creators sign up with their fandom preferences to create multimedia remixes. Podfic submissions are matched to remixers, who then have two weeks to listen to the podfics they’ve received and find inspiration. They then have more or less a month to create a fanwork inspired by those podfic. We use ‘inspired’ in a general sense - we want remixers to consider podfics as complete works, so if there’s music, freetalk, cover art or sound effects that should also be considered. The complete work of a podfic also includes a podder’s tone, pacing, character voices they may or may not use, etc.

We ask that remixers are clearly inspired by the work or that your remix is clearly an heir to the podfic, so things like fandom, or characters, or setting may be similar. We won’t be policing how you’re inspired, or how you take the prompt, and the work a remixer produces may be very similar or radically different from the podfic they received. That’s part of the joy! You can take a look at previous Remixapod AO3 collections to see some of the many ways this can take shape!

As much as we wish it, we can’t guarantee a perfect match. We will try our hardest to give you the best match we can but keep in mind that there is a wide variety of fandoms and tastes in an event like this and it’s impossible for everyone to all like the same things.

Podficcer Sign Ups

Rules

Sign up with a minimum of 3 distinct podfics (in this instance meaning podfic that have been published individually or which can be listened to as standalone. Individual chapters of a longer podfic, for example, would not be eligible).
The selection of podfic must be from a minimum of 3 different fandoms.
No more than 6 podfic.
The podfic submitted must be either from Blanket Permission works or be specifically permission for this challenge.
If your podfic is a multivoice, you must have permission from collaborating podficcers before submitting it for remixapod.
Your podfic, if posted on AO3, will be linked to the created remix as the inspiration.
For each of your selected podfic, include a brief description/summary of why you’re submitting it, why you’d like to see a remix of it, or the parts of that podfic you particularly like or are proud of. (This makes it easier for the remixer to engage with your podfic and might lead to them listening to more of your submitted podfics than they might otherwise!)

Guidelines

Any file format is okay, but please make sure the links are active and working.
The podfic does not need to be posted on AO3, but we do need a static url where the podfic can be found (i.e. not a tumblr link. Dreamwidth/AO3/your own hosting is fine).
A link to an archive which includes a summary, rating information, and download/streaming links (such as AO3, Dreamwidth/other journals, archive.org, etc.) is preferred over a link to an audio file.
When choosing podfics, please follow your heart and go with the ones you most want to see remixed. However, you are being matched and we are limited by the fandom selections of our remixers. If you can, or wish to, include at least one podfic from a ‘large’ fandom as it will increase your chance of being matched.
Please include at least one podfic rated below Mature as not every remixer will be inclined or able to listen to explicit content; this will make matching easier.
Please include a mix of durations if possible. Not every remixer may be inclined or able to listen to a long podfic. Definitely submit your epic if you want to! But also consider submitting something under 20 minutes as well.

Remixer Sign Ups

Rules

Sign up with a list of fandoms from the tag set that will be in the sign-up form. Include all the fandoms you could listen to a podfic and create a remix for.
Include an email address to contact you with. This is how we’ll send you your matched list of podfics.
All non text-based remixes must have a transcript or description (this can be alt-text for image remixes).
Remix minimums are:
- 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).

Guidelines

We have a list of common DNWs in the sign-up form as well as a space for any that are not in the provided list, you are welcome to list any DNWs you may have. Anything on these lists will preclude matching to podfics containing those elements, as far as we’re able to guarantee without listening to the podfic.
You may include a maximum podfic duration and you won’t be matched on podfic that go over this duration (the list of podfics you receive may contain ones that are longer than your max but this will not be one we specifically matched you on and there will be at least one podfic that matches your fandoms and is under your max).
When you receive your match you will be able to see all of the podfic that your podficcer submitted, not just the podfic you were matched on. You are welcome to remix any of these and are not limited by what you signed up with.

Content Moderation Policy

We’re implementing content moderation rules for this and future years of remixapod, as part of our efforts to reduce racist and other oppressive content in fandom as a whole, and in remixapod in particular. Any podfic submitted for remixapod must follow these guidelines, as well as any remixes created for this challenge.

Please see the full content moderation rules here.

Anyone may flag a remixapod fanwork which they believe does not meet the rules of the content policy, using this anonymous reporting form.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask us! You can comment right here, on the FAQ post, on twitter remixapod or send us an email: remixapod at gmail.

Remixapod is a multi-fandom remix challenge where creators make multiformat fanworks that are remixes of, or inspired by, audio podfics.

Different from last year, Remixapod 2020 is open for multiformat remixes! The minimums are different from last year, too (more detail on those in the Remixer Sign-up Rules).

This challenge is in the fannish tradition of reverse big bangs, and remix challenges, but with a twist. Podficcers will submit a number of works, and writers or other creators sign up with their fandom preferences to create multimedia remixes.

Rules

Sign up with a minimum 3 distinct podfic (for our purposes, this means podfic that have been published individually, or which can be listened to as standalone. For example, individual chapters of a longer podfic wouldn’t be eligible. Please use your judgement!)
These must be from a minimum of 3 different fandoms
No more than 6 podfic.
Any format is ok, but please make sure the links are working.

If you have a multivoice podfic you’d like to submit, you must have permission from all collaborating podficcers before submitting.
You will need to be comfortable with your podfic being linked to on the AO3 as a “work inspired by”.

Guidelines

Remixers will see all the podfics you submit, not just the ones they match on.
When you’re choosing podfics, please follow your heart. However, you are being matched, and we are limited by the fandom selections of our remixers. If you can or wish to include at least one podfic from a ‘large’ fandom, that will increase your chance of being matched.

Please, if possible, include a mix of durations. Not every remixer may be inclined or able to listen to a long podfic. Absolutely submit your epic! But also consider submitting something under 20 minutes, too.
For each of your podfic, include a brief description/summary of why you’re submitting it, why you’d like to see a remix of it, or the parts of that podfic you particularly like or are proud of. This makes it easier for the remixer to engage with your podfic, and might lead to them listening to more of your submitted podfics than they might otherwise!

Remixer Sign Ups

Rules

Sign up with a list of fandoms from the tag set. Include all the fandoms you could listen to a podfic and create a remix for.
Include an email address to contact you on. This is how we’ll send you your matched list of podfics.
You must tell us whether you plan on remixing purely into the traditional fanfic format or making a remix of any format (including traditional). (This might feel like an arbitrary division, but it’s what we’re basing part of our matching on.)
All non text-based remixes must have a transcript or description (fanmixes may provide links to lyrics pages instead).
Minimums are as follows:
- 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.

Guidelines

You may include a list of Do Not Wants (DNW)/Vetoes - your DNW list can include tropes (e.g. “mpreg” or “kidfic”), characters (e.g. “Tony Stark” or “David from Animorphs”), ships (e.g. “Harry Potter/anyone”) or ratings, as well as other requests. Anything on this list will preclude matching to podfics containing those elements, as far as we’re able to guarantee without listening to the podfic.
You may also include a maximum podfic duration. You won’t be matched with podfics over this duration. (The list of podfics you receive may contain podfics longer than this, but will include at least one that matches one of your fandoms and is under this maximum duration.)
When you receive your match you will be able to see all of the podfic that they submitted, not just the podfic that you were matched on. At least one of these podfic will match your fandom, DNW/veto and maximum duration criteria.

We’ve changed quite a lot compared to last year, so if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask us! You can comment right here, on the FAQ post, on twitter @ remixapod or send us an email: remixapod at gmail.

Remixapod is a multi-fandom fanwork remix challenge where authors create written fanworks that are remixes or inspired by audio podfics.

This challenge is in the fannish tradition of reverse big bangs, and remix challenges, but with a bit of a twist. Podficcers will submit a number of works, and writers sign up with their fandom preferences. Podfic submissions are matched to writers. Writers then have two weeks to listen to the podfics they’ve received and be inspired. They then have a month to write a minimum of 1k 'inspired' by the podfic. We use 'inspired' in a general sense - we want writers to consider the podfic they receive as complete works, so if there’s music, freetalk, cover art, sound effects, etc that should also be considered. The complete work of a podfic also includes a podder's tone, pacing, character voices they may or may not use, etc.

We ask that writers are clearly inspired by the work, or that the fic is clearly an heir to the podfic, so things like fandom, characters, or setting may be similar. We won’t be policing how writers are inspired, or how they take the prompt, and the work an author produces may be very similar or radically different from the podfic they received. That’s part of the joy!

Authors: one of your mods has written an example of what we’re envisioning, if you’d like to see an example. We’re in no way holding you to the same style of inspiration as the example, and want to give you space to explore how you take the prompt.

Podficcer Sign Up Rules

Minimum 3 distinct podfics
Minimum 3 different fandoms
No more than 6 podfics (This means you can have up to 6 separate fandoms)
We have no file format rules, but please include links to all the available formats (download, mp3, m4b, streaming etc.)
The podfics selected must either be of Blanket Permission works, or of works specifically permissioned for this challenge. (You can see example wording here)
If you have a multivoice podfic you’d like to submit, please make sure to ask the other voices before submitting.
The podfic doesn’t need to be on the AO3, but we do need a 'static' url where the podfic can be found (i.e. not a tumblr link. Dreamwidth/AO3/Your own hosting is fine).
You will need to be comfortable with your podfic being linked to on the AO3 in the “this work inspired by” part.
This isn’t a rule, but a guideline. When you’re choosing podfics, please follow your heart. However, you are being matched, and we are limited by the fandoms of our authors. If you can or wish to include at least one podfic from a “large” fandom, that will increase your chance of being matched. Authors will see all the podfics you submit, not just the ones they match on.
Please, if possible, include at least one podfic rated below Mature or without explicit content. If you can't, that's ok, but it may impact our ability to match you.
Please, if possible, include a mix of durations. If you’ve got a 2 hour epic you love, do submit it, but consider also submitting an under-20 minute podfic as well.

Author Sign Up Rules

Sign up with a list of fandoms. Please include all the fandoms you could listen to a podfic and write a min. 1k remix for.
We need an email address to contact you on. This is how we’ll send you your matched list of podfics.
You can include a list of Do Not Wants (DNWs)/Vetoes. This may include tropes (e.g. “mpreg” or “kidfic”) and/or characters (e.g. “Tony Stark” or “David from Animorphs”), and/or ratings. Anything on this list will preclude matching to podfics containing those elements.
You may also include a 'maximum duration'. You won’t be matched with podfics over this duration. (The list of podfics you receive may contain podfics longer than this, but will include at least one that matches one of your fandoms and is under this maximum duration.)

FAQ

Can I sign up as both a podficcer and a writer?

If you have podfic you want to submit that fills the criteria (min. 3 distinct podfic in min. 3 fandoms), and you're willing to write a min. 1k remix fic, then absolutely yes!

Podficcer FAQ

I’m a podficcer but I don’t have many “experimental” podfics, or any with sound effects etc to submit?

That’s okay! We consider all podfics, regardless of how much audio experimentation you included, to be seperate complete works. Please submit any podfics you want to read a written response to. Your author may be inspired by your tone, pacing and reading in combination with the plot.

Can I submit podfic that I've made of my own writing?

Yes!

Author FAQ

What if I don’t like any of the podfics I get?

We’re really sorry that happened. If you’ve made a good faith attempt to be inspired but really can’t get anything going, please let us know as soon as possible. We’ll find a pinch-hitter for your podficcer, so their podfics will still get a fic. We’d really appreciate it if you’d join us in being a pinch-hitter, as maybe you’ll find some inspiration elsewhere, but we’ll ask you about that at the time.

What if I can’t make the deadline?

Please let us know. You can email us at any time, or let us know at one of the check-in points. Please let us know as soon as you can so we can arrange a pinch-hitter! We have some leeway to grant extensions, and will happily give them, but we’d appreciate if you’d let us know your plan for finishing so we can plan for opening the collection.
