Dear Remixer

Dear Remixer,

I’ve been down this road before, and the results have always been interesting. This year, I hope, will be no exception.

Whichever story of mine you choose to remix, don’t be inhibited. Follow your impulses. Show me what REALLY should have been done with the idea. Set me back in my chair muttering, “Wow. Never thought of that.”

I’ve posted dozens of stories, and enjoyed most of them. The story you pick will be mine; the remix will be yours. Put your stamp on it.

Remix? I haven't heard of this -- sounds like an interesting concept ...

If you’re genuinely interested, and if nobody else yet has fully explained the concept to you, check out this link for particulars.

I’ve done RemixRedux twice before, plus a couple of stories for another remix that only went one round. (Shame, because it was fun.) It’s always been worth the effort for me. Sign-ups are closed for this year’s RemixRedux, and assignments given, but if you were seriously interested you might be able to volunteer as a pinch-hitter. (For that, you would have to be able to do quite a bit of writing on very short notice, but some people can.) In any event, give it a look … and, when the stories for this year’s round open out, be sure and browse the goodies.

It's a fascinating idea, but it's for the best that it's closed now -- I just don't have time to put into it, as I'm concentrating hard on getting my original fiction sold this year. I'd love to give it a try sometimes in the future, although I'm not sure if I'd really like seeing what someone else could do with a story of mine, or if I'd get all defensive and motherly with it! I suppose that would be good practice for dealing with some future editor.

(By the way, love your profile icon!)
