Bonus Round 6: Remixes
The goal is in sight, participants! Let's finish strong by drawing upon the thousands of fanworks you've created this summer and putting them in new lights.
Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible.
RULES
- Choose a fanwork created by other participants in a previous main or bonus round of SASO 2017 and create a new piece based on it. You could create a fanart of another work, an FST inspired by a piece’s style, a podfic of someone else's work, retell another person’s fanfic from another point of view, create a new fanfic inspired by a great piece of art... go wild! Sequels do count as remixes, with limits: "And then the same thing happened again" is not ok, but "And then some totally new thing happened" is fine, and please don't create only sequels.
- You cannot remix your teammates' works. You cannot remix your own works. You can remix fills that were created to your own prompts.
- You can remix a remix, but if we see any remix chains we'll be upset, so do this with moderation and restraint.
- You must have permission from the original creator. There's a blanket permissions post here (feel free to add yourself to it!), or you can leave a comment on their original post asking for permission.
- You must include the dreamwidth link to the original work in your post.
- Since all fills are based on previous works, there will be no prompts for this round. Simply post your fill as a comment in response to this post.
- Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
FORMAT
Bonus round shenanigans all happen in the comments below. Brand-new works only, please.Required Work Minimums:
- 400 words (prose)
- 400px by 400px (art)
- 14 lines (poetry)
- 8 tracks (fanmixes)
Format your comment in one of the following ways:
| If FILLING: | If FILLING as a TEAM GRANDSTAND participant: |
FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP], [RATING]
| FILL: TEAM GRANDSTAND, [RATING]
|
Posts not using this format will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, regardless of what they contain. They, like all comments in this community, are subject to the code of conduct.
If you see anyone breaking the code of conduct (e.g., causing drama, being rude) anywhere (not just DW), please contact the mods immediately.
SCORING
These numbers apply to your team as a whole, not each individual teammate. Make as many prompts/fills as you want!For prompts: 5 points each (maximum of 50 prompt points per team per round)
For fills:First 4 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 5-10: 15 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each
Fills 21-50: 2 points each
Fills 51+: 1 point each
All scored content must be created new for this round.
Etc.
If you're hunting through the prompts looking for what to fill, a good trick is to view top-level comments only (see the line of links below this post).Have a question? Check The FAQ first. If you still need help, feel free to contact the mods. Happy fanworking!

It would be easy to hate the person who made Tatsuya like this, except that’s a simplistic explanation made by adults who have forgotten everything. “Who told you that? Who made you like this?” Like it doesn’t always come down to you, in the end. Like it doesn’t come down to Tatsuya, the driver exhausting his fuel reserves, burning out to get to two hundred kilometers an hour, the ocean foam clinging to the sands of the beach, washed up on the shoreline. The struggle that he knows he cant win but he’s afraid to let go because isn’t it worse to fall further behind than to kill yourself trying?
It’s a mentality that Atsushi gets for a second before it disappeared, fish at a festival diving through his fingers before he can lift them from the water. It would be easy to hate Tatsuya for making himself do this, but Tatsuya hates himself so much (for making himself like this, for not being enough, for chasing that dream and falling behind) that it;s impossible. It’s not that Atsushi pities him; he certainly doesn’t envy that position but—why? Why does he keep going when he’ll never win? Is there some sort of security in this position that he hates but is at least familiar, the way of things? That’s not quite it, either, and Atsushi’s not going to exhaust himself trying to figure it out (not when it exhausts him just to watch Tatsuya wearing himself to the bone).
And it’s easier to touch him, to kiss him, to do it over and over again and make him accept that yes, he is difficult and self-centered and consumed by this single-minded pursuit, but that doesn’t make him unlovable. It doesn’t make him so easily crushed as sea foam, swallowed by the waves or stomped under flesh, disintegrating into the air. He’ll just let himself get spit back out, painted in a paler shade of green, the color on a crayon.
It would be easy to hate Tatsuya, but sometimes he makes it so hard, and maybe it’s hard for himself, a waste of energy but something he’s still determined to do out of some kind of stubbornness, the way he’s determined to make everyone else like the flat sticker facade he puts on, something far less likable than the ugly things that weigh him down, the things he tries to hide. Is it much of a consolation prize to win at that?
