02 • 03 • My latest remix

Apr. 30th, 2012 | 12:32 pm

In terms of remixee happiness, my latest remix was a resounding success. In terms of my own remixing satisfaction, I feel that I've made a n00b mistake.

IMO, a remix should be able to stand alone, instead of requiring knowledge of the original. In that respect, it's more fitting to call A Wizard's Education (The Teach your heart Remix) a "companion piece" instead of a remix.

My mistake was in not defining a narrow enough scope for the remix before writing. When the original is an epic 71K words, this is essential. Otherwise, the remix suffers from too-wide narrative breaks.
