Two upcoming kinda-exchanges currently open for sign-ups

For the most part I assume that anyone on dreamwidth who's into fanworks exchanges is signed up to fandomcalendar. But here's two that might appeal to people who make fanworks but aren't into traditional exchanges.

fearbuddies: You sign up to finish a personal project by the set date, and get help in the form of cheerleading or beta-ing etc. You're also assigned to help someone else finish their project. Seems like it could be great for people who like deadlines, can't find a beta, etc. Art, fic, interactive fiction, podfic, or vid. WIPs ok.

remixrevival: Remix someone's fanwork and have someone else remix one of yours. Great fun as a fanartist. You need at least three works in a specific 'fandom'. Art or fic.

I'm signed up for remix! I think fearbuddies would just set off my anxiety but it's a cool idea. I clicked one of the signup links to check it out, and the options are pretty varied, from "daily personal message" to "Minimal Interaction but an Air of Menace".

You can definitely do original works for remix, and I assume also for fearbuddies.

Dear local friends, please explain these things to me in words of one syllable

I have a bunch of questions I can't figure out the answers to, mostly I can find general guides online but need local people to help answer them with specific answers for Perth/Australia. But general advice would be helpful too.
