remixthedrabble recs
Jun. 18th, 2009 09:16 pmDid the last fic update until Sunday's author reveal at
remixthedrabble today and it seems I didn't forget anything this time because nobody has e-mailed to ask why their drabble didn't get posted. Hooray! Also, another remix of my fic went up! I was so thrilled that a certain Mystery Author (whose name I know but won't say just yet) decided to remix "Just to Keep It", a short fic I wrote for Yuletide 2008 for the book and movie The Hours! Go read Just to Keep It (The Hindsight Remix)! It's a remix of a fic about a minor character who appears in only one scene of a book that no one else has ficced! It is full of regret and beauty! ETA: It is by
theswearingkind!
Here are some of my other favorites from what I've read so far, in no particular order.I know who some of the authors are but have forgotten others. I am editing it after the reveal to add the authors' names.
I am also really pleased that I've heard from all three of the people for whom I wrote remixes and I think they were all pleased, or at least they had the decency to pretend to be. :) And the most enthusiastic comment was on the drabble I was most excited about myself, so that made me feel really good.

Here are some of my other favorites from what I've read so far, in no particular order.
- The Chronicles of Narnia: Velocity Girl (The Wild Things Remix) by
paperflowered - Susan gen, as much of a runaway hit as the fest has managed. It's very powerful and well done.
- Harry Potter: Picture Perfect (The Forgiveness Remix) by
velvetmouse- slightly creepy Snape/Lily. I especially recommend reading this alongside the original, Photo Failure, by
verus_janus.
- Doctor Who: Millipede (The Bones of the Hand Remix) by
aralias - Ten/Martha, awesome character voices and character insight in 100 words.
- Merlin: Sweets for the sweet (The Ophelia Remix) by
xsmoonshine - "Sweets for the sweet" would be a fine alternate title for the original, flowers and other small tokens by
bewarethesmirk, a lovely Gwen/Morgana from Gwen's POV. The remix is Morgana's side and it is different and it is awesome.
- X-Files: This is Not Written (The Work In Progress Remix) by
iamsab - G-rated Mulder/Scully. WIPs are not supposed to be eligible for remixing but we made an exception for this one because it's just that clever.
- ETA OMG: SGA: Practice Theory (The Agency Remix) by
sabinelagrande - John/Rodney and more cleverness but also sex - yay!/ETA
I am also really pleased that I've heard from all three of the people for whom I wrote remixes and I think they were all pleased, or at least they had the decency to pretend to be. :) And the most enthusiastic comment was on the drabble I was most excited about myself, so that made me feel really good.
