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).

Remix Relay Work Requirements

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


• 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 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 and no more than 8000 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, and underage sex.
