recsremixesrepodsWelcome to (re)!
Things will happen in this fest! And they will be awesome.

recsremixesrepods). Announcements will also be given a signal boost on Twitter, ![[twitter.com profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/e0caa790ec10/-/twitter.com/favicon.ico)
recsremixesrepo.
(re) is a two-pronged challenge celebrating existing podfics about characters who have under-represented genders or sexes (or for characters with no gender at all - but more on how we define the idea later). Participants can sign up for Week One or for Week Two, or if they’re really ambitious, both.
Week One (May 18-22), is all about the straight rec: thinkpodfic_love, think recs sets, think amplirecathon.
Week Two (25-29) is the same, but with a twist. You’ll only rec one podfic at a time but you’ll also be repodding or remixing it. We’re not setting a lot of rules on what we mean by “remix” but it has to have a both a storytelling element and an audio element (but not necessarily words). You can check out FJ’s post for some ideas about how a podfic might be remixed, but don’t feel limited to it. Leave a comment, send an ask, or email us with any questions!
Sign-ups: April 18 - May 17
Week 1 Posting (Recs): May 18-22
Week 2 Posting (Remixes and/or Repods): May 25-29
Because remixing podfic is a new thing, we understand that permissions are tricky. We ask all of you to hold to your fandoms` etiquette about permissions.
We mean any character of any gender that tends not to get a lot of play in fandom. The list includes, but is not limited to characters who are: trans women, agender, genderqueer, demigender, genderfluid, trans men, cis women, bigender, trigender, pangender, two-spirit, intersex.
(Hat tip to the rarelywritten community for coining “underrepresented genders and sexes”. We couldn’t top it.)
Please note that we don’t require that the character identify as one of these genders or sexes in canon, just that they do so in the story. Check out exmanhater’s meta on “Rule 63 and femslash within fandom” for more on why we’re allowing Rule 63.

Okay, Mods, but define “under-represented gender"
