>> 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. <<
Gauging audience interest is a good way to start.
>> 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. <<
That makes sense. I'll pencil it in on the Community Calendar.
>> 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. <<
That should minimize squabbles.
>> Do you think it's a good idea? If not, I have other ideas too. <<
My ability to give apt feedback on this is limited by the fact that I don't do remix fests. However, I'm perfectly happy to host things that other folks are enthusiastic about; variety is a good thing.
I just checked the Bingo Card Generator and it has a bunch of new prompt lists, one of them "Horror Subgenres," which could be mixed with others such as "Death," "Desperate Situations," "End of the World," etc. to make cards suitable for your fest. I do suggest posting a public card for the Horror Remix, the way I did with Bingo Valentines.
