Good news for X-Men Remix!!
Aug. 16th, 2016 11:13 amWe found a workaround for our issues with AO3, and were just now able to send out assignments through AO3!
The rest of the challenge will proceed as it usually does, so you guys can ignore the instructions we posted before. When you go to post your remix, check the little box on Open Assignments the way you usually would. If you need to default, use the default button on your Assignments page the way you usually would. If you want to upload a placeholder at the deadline, this is definitely not an invitation to do that - we may still decide to monitor submissions so as to keep the rest of the exchange easy and hassle-free for us mods, so please make sure you are still submitting a complete rough draft.
If the assignment you receive from AO3 today is different than the one emailed to you previously, please contact us at xmenremix13mods@gmail.com so we can straighten you out on the back end. Your first assignment is your real one. If for some reason you do not receive an email from AO3, your assignment will be listed on your Assignments page on AO3.
Also, ignore the fandom tag on your assignment - we had to actually go in and edit everyone’s assignment with different fandoms to get the system to acknowledge the matches. The fandom for this challenge is still the XMFC trilogy (XMFC, DoFP and XMA).
I think that’s it! Thank god that’s over.
