Hi there! I do actually have advice for fanmixes so I decided I would make this into it’s own post. 
HERE ARE MY STEPS TO MAKING A GOOD FANMIX.
1) Generally, it all starts with one song that I think would be perfect for a character or pairing. I’m going to use my Dave/Rose mix as my example here because it’s the most recent one I did. I’ve had Speaking in Tongues by Arcade Fire pegged as  Rose and Dave song since it came out last summer, so that song was kind of the springboard for that entire mix. 
2. The most important step: pick a FOCUS for your mix! If you just compile a bunch of songs with fitting lyrics for a character or pairing in general, your mix will not be very pleasing to listen to as a whole. For my Rose/Dave mix I decided to focus on them on Derse, which definitely gave the whole mix the same kind of tone, lyrics-wise. 
3. TONE IS IMPORTANT!!! Try to stick to artists within the same sort of sound or genre. Some variety is good if you can get the songs to transition into each other (such as opening that mix with Lazarus Phenomenon, to balance that out I added some Ratatat in there too, which I am glad for since it added more of a Dave tone that the mix was lacking.) ANYWAYS MY POINT HERE is that you have to think of your mix as an actual album for it all to come together as a whole.
4. SONG ORDER! I generally try to get my mixes in order based on character progression and tone. For example, my Vriska mix starts off self assured and then gets insecure! In both lyrics and tone. Since my Rose/Dave mix was all focused around the same time period I just tried to make the order something that would work for song transitions. 
5. Try not to include more than two songs by the same artist. THIS IS HARD WHEN ARCADE FIRE EXISTS FOR ME, BUT YOU MUST HOLD FAST. 
6. After I’ve scoured your own personal music library for all I can find, I generally ask my friends if they have any suggestions! If they happen to suggest stuff that fits the mix, there it goes! The best way to find new music is by word of mouth. 
UM, I HOPE THIS HELPED! There are my disjointed thoughts on the grand art of creating a fanmix.
