Basically for a remix, the remixer picks one of your stories to rewrite. It's not with the aim of fixing, just retelling in a different way. The basic plot (and pairings usually) must be the same generally, though remixes may differ. So for example the might do the same plot but darker in theme, exploring what else could come from it, they might retell something from another pov or change the focus to another character who was already there. The general idea is it must include most of the original ideas but it can expand upon it, pre or post as long as it includes in this case at least 50% of the original stories scope. Moreover, it should be complimentary to the original story, an addition to what already exists.
Personally, the last remix I was involved in I found quite fun on both counts. I loved seeing what someone did to my SG-1 Vala fic and I enjoyed remixing a BtVs/Angel fandom fic which I'd otherwise probably not have strayed into, having barely written anything for that fandom after my first ever fic - written aged 14 - that was MarySue-tastical.
If it'd help to see an example, here's (http://missyvortexdv.livejournal.com/142551.html) the remix I did which has the link to the original fic I remixed in the post too.
