estiroseI learned a little from my last prompt challenge (and from watching a couple of years of Remix Redux, which I love) to lay out some things on how I'd run a remix challenge for things like Power Rangers, various Saban shows, and tokusatsu series.
I'm going to put them here because I've got them on my brain and it's better than my brain being stuck on Kamen Rider Gaim episode 43 (oh gads, Gaim episode 43....)
1. I think there's a reason why the Remix Redux mods restrict fandoms. Unlike the "leave a prompt, take a prompt" I did, you have to find enough people with enough fics to remix in a given fandom. (I'd have to check the minimums for Remix Redux, too.)
2. It's much easier to do it when there is a tag for the fandom in question, as my Mystic Knights people discovered.
3. I'm tending a lot more towards Kamen Rider nowadays, and I don't know which fandoms are popular enough that we can get 2-3+ fans to remix in each one. Or at least have 2-3+ fans with enough fics to remix.
4. Generally speaking, Remix Redux doesn't care which fandom you remix in as long as you match on a fandom. That's how I ended up with a Sesame Street remix when I matchedmara on Power Rangers. However, we're a fandom-specific remix, so it might be a good idea to restrict remix fandoms to the ones that I listed.
5. The good news is that as long as we're using established tags, it's relatively easy to program in a tagset and I've now got familiarity on how to do a tagset.
6. Since Yuletide nominations start in late September, I'm not sure it's a great time of the year for me to try to get a remix challenge off the ground. Mostly because I'm heavily busy with Yuletide (all of my active and semi-active fandoms with maybe the exception of Doctor Who are eligible, and maybe some of my Doctors are eligible this year in non-main series stuff like sticking them in Sarah Jane Adventures). I'd also need to check other major challenges that people on my flist/network participate in so I'm not causing too much conflict with major fandom events.
