Remix Relay: Call for Starting Works

One of the challenges running will be the Remix Relay, which is a remix chain in the style of a speedy game of Telephone for artists and writers. Participants are expected to remix your work within a week. The challenge is about speed.

For Remix Relay, we require starting works: the “originals” that begin each chain. A starting work must be a new, complete, previously unposted work that you are willing to offer up for remixing. The work must fulfill the Relay Work Requirements which you can find below.

If you'd like to provide a starting work, please send it through to cap.im.events@gmail.com!

If you're providing the starting work, your work will be the first in the chain, but you are not the first active remix participant. You will be the last participant in the chain and are responsible for finishing the chain. Please make sure you’re comfortable with working with a wide array of works and are confident you’ll have the time to do so by when the chain comes back to you (around mid-February). There’s no pass or penalty free drop-out option for the last work in the chain.

If you have a finished, unposted work you want to offer up, and you would like to participate in the remix relay, please sign by sending us an email with your username and the completed work attached! A starter work can be either fic or art for the regular chains, but we do require at least one artwork as a starter work so we can do our Art/Fic chain.

Starting works will be confirmed in early December, and the decision will based on the following:

• First come, first served order. We will confirm and select starting works in the order we have received them.
• If the creator has provided the starting work in previous Remix Relay events. If we have many starting work volunteers, we will prioritize those who haven't provided a starting work yet to give more participants a chance to play as the person who starts and wraps up a chain.
• If the work follows all event work requirements. Your work will not be selected if it does not follow the work requirements (e.g. if a fic is over 8000 words).
