And sign-ups are closed.

If for some reason you were waiting until the very last minute possible and were unable to complete your sign-up, please contact the mods via email at femmeremix at gmail.com immediately.

Assignments will go out when matching is completed, which will be no later than June 5.

Sign-ups will close in just over 24 hours, at 8PM EDT (US), Saturday. If you have not yet signed up, now is the time to do so.

Now is also a good time to double-check the Sign-up Summary to see if there are any fandoms you are interested in offering to remix. Please pay special attention to those fandoms listed with either 1 request and 0 offers or 1 request and 1 offer, as they are the ones which will be most difficult to match. If you are able to write in any of those fandoms, the mods would greatly appreciate it if you could edit your offers to include them.

Once sign-ups have closed, we will start the matching process. Our calendar says that assignments will be out June 5, but if matching goes quickly (and it is likely to), we will send out assignments earlier than that. An earlier assignment send-out will not affect due dates.

Pinch-hit signups will remain open. Pinch-hits will go out as-needed and will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. All pinch-hitters will be expected to follow the remix rules (1000+ word remix about at least one female character). As with the regular assignments, pinch-hits are due on July 24. Pinch-hits which are sent out after July 22 will be due on July 29.

Remix Treats sign-ups will also remain open. If you are not participating in the main remix but would like treats, we'd also like to encourage you to sign up as a pinch-hitter (however, you are not obligated to claim a pinch-hit).

Sign-ups are coming along nicely - so far we have 33 participants!

We have also had some questions about writing treats for the challenge. Last year, we did not have that as an option, but this year, we've decided to allow it. Treats are opt-in, so if you are not interested in having more than one story remixed, you do not need to do anything.

If you are interested in receiving remix treats, please leave a comment on this post using the following format:

AO3 Username:
Masterpost URL:
Qualifying Fandoms:
Other Fandoms:
Previous Remixes:
Safe Story:

You may also indicate that you're open to treats in your signup details - signups will be visible to anyone.

ETA: For clarification, treaters are NOT required to remix a story from a qualifying fandom. Anything that is female-focused which is not a previous remix or a safe story is allowed. Treats should also follow the constraints set out in the remix challenge -- that is, all treats should be focused on women (for our given definition of "women"). That said, treats are not subject to the 1000-word minimum.

ETA2: Another clarification: non-participants are allowed to sign up for remix treats. However, we cannot guarantee that you will receive a remix unless you sign up for the challenge through AO3. If you are a non-participant, we would like to encourage you to sign up for the pinch-hit list as well. You are also more than welcome to treat as much as you like.

The treat deadline is July 29 -- the same day as our final pinch-hit deadline.
