→ THE BASICS
The idea of a ficmix is to select a fic from the chosen author's masterlist and rewrite it! You can "rewrite" it by writing it again from the perspective of another character, by writing a prequel, or by writing a sequel. As long as you keep the pairing and/or general plot the same, you can do whatever you want. Go nuts!
A more in-depth description of this exchange can be found here. Please make sure you read it all as it contains information about deadlines, dropping out, etc.
Please keep in mind that since this is a fic exchange, you'll be writing something for someone, and someone else will be writing something for you, which means that we'd prefer zero drop-outs. Of course, it's understandable that something may come up and you simply can't finish the fic in time - but please let us know beforehand so we can organise a pinch hit in time and no one is left without a fic. The final date you can let us know by is the 15th of September.
→ REQUIREMENTS
To participate as a remixer, you must have a requirement of at least five 100 word fics (or drabbles) or three 500 word fics, or a combination of the both. Your safe story* will not be included in your minimum. For a more comprehensive explanation, please refer to the information post linked prior.
After you've done that, feel free to fill out one of the forms below!

Is a masterlist necessary/compulsory?
For the sake of my sanity, and for the sanity of your remixer, yes. Please do not link me to your tag on a community and tell me to go through all the entries under your tag, because, chances are, I won't have time to. And nor will your remixer. A masterlist doesn't take that much time to organise, depending on how pedantic you are, and really only requires a link to the fic, the fandom/pairing/character-focus, and possibly a word count and/or summary.
In the same vein, this might sound stupid but please unlock all of your fic. Don't make your remixer have to go join your community or friend you to access your fic - and that ruins the surprise of who it is! And that's half the fun.
What is a safe story*?
It is a story that your remixer is not allowed to remix. Please note, though, you are only allowed to designate one story as a safe story. So think it through if you don't want more than one story remixed, because your remixer might think differently.
(Your safe story also doesn't go towards your required minimum.)
I have a fic that I'd like to make my safe story but it's split into different chapters - would I still be able to make it my safe story?
Because it's still technically one "story", yes. Just make sure you link all chapters in your application, or if they're all tagged with a specific tag in your community/journal, you can link that as well.
What about wips?
Unfortunately, only finished fics will be allowed to be remixed. Please do not include unfinished stories in your minimum as your remixer won't be allowed to remix them.
Is it alright if I only use a line/a few lines as inspiration? How about a drabble?
Both are fine as long as there are clear links to the original fic itself.
