So, how did the Remix go for you?

This post is open for discussion on anything to do with the challenge - remixing meta and strategies, suggestions for the mods, AO3 issues, observations, questions, etc. I'll start a few discussion threads, but other people should feel free to start others if there are other topics they want to bring up. We welcome comments from readers, watchers, and defaulters as well as the people who ended up turning in fic. Dreamwidth users, if you wouldn't mind clicking on the crosspost link to the LJ side of this post, it would be nice to keep all the discussion in one place.

Authors' names have been added to the fics at the CamelotRemix collection at the AO3! You're now welcome to answer feedback (the AO3 has threaded comments like Dreamwidth and LJ), repost to journals, websites, comms, and so on! Just be sure you keep the link to the fic you've remixed and the original author's name wherever you post.

Here's an updated version of the fic masterlist that was posted last Friday, also with added authors' names. Thanks to everyone who participated, with special thanks to clevermonikerr, glim, lilian_cho, netgirl_y2k, and woldy for pinch hitting. Hope you had fun, everybody!

Hi everyone! Hope you're still enjoying reading the remixes. We're still collecting recs on LJ and on Dreamwidth. We're planning to reveal authors' names Thursday morning (Central US time) and to have a post for discussing how the challenge went for everybody on Thursday evening. Please let us know if you have any concerns.

In the meantime, how about some guesses as to who wrote what? Here's a list of the fics and a list of author names, both in alphabetical order:

( fics )

( authors )

Have you posted some recs of CamelotRemix fics? Planning to make some over the weekend now that you finally have some time to read? Please comment here with a link, and we'll update this post throughout the next week to add them as they come in. Thanks!

• woldy posted 2 recs (plus some others from outside the fest)


• netgirl_y2k posted 6 recs in a comment to this post


• sophinisba posted 7 recs and 3 more


• emei posted 5 recs

And in case you missed it, we now have a Fic Masterlist (with magical DW expanding and collapsing cut tags) for easy browsing by pairing.

The comments for camelotremix fics are trickling in. Keep them coming, people! (You don't need an AO3 account to comment)
Again, please remember to thank your remixer.

CAMELOTREMIX FICS
LIVE AT THE AO3

We have 31 stories by 26 authors, remixing fics by 30 different authors. Special thanks to the pinch hitters who did an awesome job coming through with some great fics in the last few days. lilian_cho is planning to make another post here soon with a list of links to all the stories, but for now there are lots of ways of finding what you want to read at the AO3.

The collection's Works page will display 20 of them at a time and you can browse back for earlier ones. By default it orders them by date, but you can use the buttons on the top right to reverse the order or sort alphabetically or by length or hit count. You can use the right sidebar to filter the fics and only see a particular rating, genre, tag, etc. Please note that the sidebar is only displaying Relationships that can be used for filtering because they've already been wrangled by archive support, but we do have a few fics with other ships.

It's possible that pages will be a leetle slow to load at times because new Yuletide business is increasing traffic at the site right now. But I've been clicking through a lot in the last few days and haven't had any problems.

Please comment on the stories you enjoy! Even though they're anonymous now, everyone should get emailed copies of their comments. If you're logged in with your AO3 account your comments will automatically show up with your name, and you'll get e-mailed any responses, just like on LJ or Dreamwidth. You can upload an icon if you want.

You can also use the AO3 bookmark feature either to mark stories you want to read later or as a quick way of reccing them, with or without tags, much like a Delicious save. We hope people will post recs too, and we'll have another post soon for linking to them.

If you don't have an AO3 account (hello, lurkers!) you can still comment on stories: just fill out your name (if you want) and e-mail (which won't be displayed). If you don't have an account and you'd like one, we have some extra invite codes, so please don't hesitate to ask

Participants, even if you didn't end up posting a story of your own, please, please, thank your remixer!

If you see a problem with your fic, remember that you can still do edits yourself. If there's a problem we need to know about, as always you can comment here or e-mail camelotremix at gmail. Have fun, everybody!

Remixers and remix enthusiasts! We expect the CamelotRemix collection to go live with at least one remix for everybody in about twelve hours! It's possible that another story or two might get added over the next few days, since we've doubled up some assignments and pinch hits this week.

If you still have edits to make, please make them now!

Eeeeeeee!!

Hi, everyone! As promised, here's an update on how things are going and what we expect to happen this week.

The deadline was last night. As I write this, we're still missing remixes for ten people, or fully a third of the people who need them. Needless to say, we mods are not thrilled with this state of affairs. Many thanks to those of you who posted in time. Those of you who promised to post today, please get on that. *stern look*

Pinch hits have been assigned - thank you volunteers! - and are due on Wednesday. If you've posted a draft and still have some revisions to do, please finish those by Wednesday too.

We'd like to make the fics public on Thursday, but if we don't have a fic for everyone by then we'll probably push things back until Saturday. (I hate posting fic on Fridays, don't you? It seems like there's never anybody around.) Either way, we'll post again on Thursday to let you know what's going on. We don't anticipate having to wait longer than Saturday.

The fics will stay anonymous for one week, and after that we'll add authors' names and you can add authors' notes, reply to comments, and post on your journals, websites, comms, etc.

Hello, remixers! We’ve reached October 9th, the deadline for uploading your stories to the CamelotRemix Collection at the AO3! So far we have stories (or drafts) for 14 out of 30 participants. The posts are looking great (love the funky titles especialy) and the fics netgirl_y2k and I have had a chance to read so far are made of awesome and win. We can’t wait for them to go live.

The rest of you are getting ready to post tonight (or have contacted us to say when you will), right? It looks like we never got around to specifying a time zone, so we’ll wait to until tomorrow to see who still needs a remix and start assigning pinch hitters.

Here’s a link to the posting instructions and here are a few reminders:

• The AO3 will allow you to keep editing after you submit. If you’re still revising your fic, please go ahead and post your draft now so we mods can see that you’ve written a story and we don’t need to assign a pinch hitter. Fics won’t go public until Wednesday at the earliest (we should have a better idea tomorrow) so you can keep editing until then.


• Please leave out beta thanks and other potential identifying information from now. You’ll be able to add them in later, after the author reveal.


• Additional Tags aren’t required but they help readers find your story.

If you are the kind of person who likes shaking the boxes before you open your presents, you can play with filters on the side of the CamelotRemix Works page or take a look at the Additional Tags cloud. If you’re logged in at the AO3 you can also check on your Gifts in the left sidebar to see if a remix of your fic has been posted yet. If you don’t want to have any clue, forget I said anything!

Best of luck to those of you who are rushing to finish your fics and post tonight. Please let us know if there’s anything we can help with!

The posting deadline for camelotremix/camelotremix is October 9, two weeks from today. You’ll need to post your Remix to the Archive of Our Own, which is pretty easy to do, even if you haven’t used it before. The short version is:

1. Go to the CamelotRemix collection and click on the Post to Collection button.

2. Fill out all the relevant fields on the form, including checking the remix box, filling in the URL of the remixed story, and filling in your remixee’s name as a recipient.

3. Click on Preview (bottom right, below the text box for the story) and make sure everything displays the way you want it. If you need to change something, click on Edit. Edit, Preview, and repeat.

4. Click on Post (bottom right) when you’re ready to post!

You’ll be able to see your own story and you can make any time, but the stories won’t go public until the mods flip the switch. The earliest this will happen is October 12th but it will probably closer to the 16th. (It will be whenever we have a remix for everybody.)

If you like visuals, there’s a nice simple Tutorial on posting to a challenge at the AO3, which has screencaps. (Just ignore the part about “My Signups” - since we didn’t do signups there, it doesn’t apply.)
