Call for 2020 Cap-IM Remix Relay Starting Works!

[cap_ironman_fe]

While some people are hard at work creating a gift for their Holiday Exchange assignment, others are being inspired by the Community Gift prompt list,and yet others are putting the finishing touches on their Big Bang entries, we also want to remind you that our annual remix event is just around the corner!

We'll be announcing the event schedule on November 23rd, but we'd like to get people thinking about Remix Relay starting works.

Relay Remix Event

One of the challenges running will be the Relay Remix, which is a remix chain in the style of a speedy game of Telephone for artists and writers. For those of you who like the idea of continued remixes and thinking of remix ideas on your feet, this is the challenge to sign up for!

For the relays to work, we require starting works: the “originals” that begin the 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. In the case of fic, the word count should not be longer than 8,000 words in length. Remember, the minimum requirement is 500 words and the next participant is expected to read your work and remix it within a week. The challenge is about speed.

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. Keep this in mind if you sign up by sendign us a start work. Please only sign up for this option if 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.

We will be accepting four starting works in total. 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 our three regular chains, but we do require at least one artwork as a starter work for 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.

Relay Remix Work Requirements

• All works in the chain must be complete, stand-alone works. Your remix should be fully comprehensible without relying on the previous work in the chain for context.


• All works in this challenge must be focused on Steve and Tony (whether the dynamic is gen or shippy). No other characters can be featured in the main relationship.


• All works in the chain must comply with the community's Event Work Requirements.


• All remixes must be fic or art.
  • Fic must be at least 500 words.
  • Art must be digitally or traditionally drawn images or fully realized sketches. Other visual mediums — such as edits or manipulations — are not eligible for this challenge.


• Starting fanworks and remixes must be new or unposted works.


• All Marvel universes and most AUs are acceptable. If you receive a fanwork for a universe you are unfamiliar with, you can remix it however you choose.


• The following is not allowed in any of the Relay works:
  • Crossovers/Fusions with non-Marvel fandoms and AUs that require background knowledge.
  • The inclusion of the following content: bestiality, graphic torture, non-canonical character death, rape/non-con, or underage.
