Now that I've cleared some time, I'd like to tell you what I have in mind. I'd like to hold a multifandom remix fest. Since December, I've been reading that a lot of people are interested in participating in a remix fest. The only obstacle seems to be the fear that if the original fanwork creator is not happy with the remixed version of her/his fanwork, then it creates a lot of problem for the person who created the remix. Well, I've got ideas for how to handle that too.

My idea is to hold a remix fest during October so the theme will be Halloween. So the goal of the fest would be to take a fanfic (for example) and remix it and turn it into a horror story using Halloween/supernatural themes. This way all participants have a set guideline they can follow and the people who volunteer their fanworks know exactly what the participants are doing.

One example, someone made a parody of Pride and Prejudice and turned it into a zombie story. I haven't read it but I've heard about it, let me find the link... here Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

So creating remixes similar to this. The participant can make the remix comedic or dramatic, up to them.

I'd need to compile a list of fandomers who give blanket permission for others to create remixes based on their work. That'd be easy, I think fanlore has done that already. Of course, participants can volunteer their own fanworks for remix purposes.

Do you think it's a good idea? If not, I have other ideas too.
