My remix is finished. It came in at a smish over 4100 words, which seems like a lot until you know the size of the story I was remixing. Let us say that it was somewhere between a one-shot and epic word count of doom. I've sent it off to my fabtastic beta. I will be posting it to the remix comm (just) by the deadline of July 12.

HALLE-FREAKING-LUJAH!

As a side note, the rules say I can't post my remix to my journal until July 26. However, I will be posting it here along with some story art I made with the lovely raw material I got from [livejournal.com profile] noandwhere as soon as the anonymous posting rules no longer apply. I'm a little nervous, but hopefully the original author and all of you enjoy the story I put together!

I rewrote the very end of the epilogue of Book 7 of Harry Potter so that the last words were '...the boy who lived.'

I wrote those few paragraphs in the book itself, at the end, and crossed off the end that I'd changed. But it's just for me, because as long as she was leaving Harry alive, I figured it had to end with those words. BTW, I could have accepted Harry dying - it seemed fitting given the plot, and she'd already set up death to be little more than a way-station, with a lot of friends and family waiting 'beyond the veil' so I was fine with that.

How do you choose the story to be remixed, and is the original author a collaborator or just an approver?

You're assigned another author participating in the ficathon, but they don't approve or collaborate. Well, I suppose they do in a way. By signing up for the ficathon, they're agreeing to have their stories be remixed. But I don't have to let them read the story before I post it or anything.

The participants are matched by fandom (i.e, you and your chosen remixer will have at least one fandom in common), but I got to pick the story I wanted to remix. Each author can have one safe story, which means it's not allowed to be remixed. But other than that, it's all fair game.
