( The USAF Remix )

I have my feet back under me again, sort of, after the due date snafu.

I should have done this post on Sunday, but here it is, finally!

Not only did I remix, but I also was remixed.

rydra_wong did an absolutely amazing, fantastic, gorgeous, deep, wonderful remix of Pervasive Local Obsidian. You must rush and read it right now!!!!

Son of Endless Sky (The Bone Needle Remix)

This may be the reason I remix again one day. :D

*rushes in, flailing papers*

Sorry! Sorry! I totally confused the deadline for this, and here I am, two days late. So, so sorry, synecdochic.

But here it is. My brazen attempt to crack the Eurydiceverse.

Pairing: Daniel Jackson/Jack O'Neill, Daniel Jackson/Cameron Mitchell, Daniel Jackson/Jack O'Neill/Cameron Mitchell
Rating: NC-17
Summary: A remix of synecdochic's fantastic like water, lying. As summarized by her: Jack comes back to Colorado for a visit and Cam thinks he's lost Daniel's attention for the week. Except he hasn't, not at all. And that's scarier. You should also consider this a remix of Jack, as Jack is presented in the evolving Eurydiceverse. He's not in quite the same place as synecdochic's Jack.
Content/warnings: None.

Beta: All my thanks to the fantastic green_grrl, who edited this in record time, and who's additions and comments fixed so many problems. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

My thoughts on the whole remix experience, here.





( like water, lying (The Event Horizon Remix) )

I signed up for the Remix thing.

I have never remixed. It sounded like fun and I signed up pretty excitedly, though I was also a little nervous. I thought it would be great if I got a bad to mediocre writer, who had good ideas, but not the greatest writing style. I could take one of their fun concepts and run with it.

But I was also worried. What if I got one of the really awesome writers? I mean, I consider myself to be pretty good. I try to be creative and not proliferate bad fic. I think I produce a workmanlike piece of fiction almost every time. Readable, entertaining, and hopefully funny or sexy or both, depending on what I'm going for. So I don't think I suck. But there are about a dozen writers out there in the fandoms that I participate in who just take my breath away. I aspire to have their ability to write something not just entertaining, but beautifully crafted and multilayered and just wonderful every time.

And for some reason, there was a particular piece that kept coming to mind. The one that I couldn't imagine trying to remix, because it was perfect.

So. Out of 55 participants, do you want to guess which writer I got?

Anyway. I spazzed a little today.

But it's funny, how once my brain knows what needs to be done, it gets to working right away. This writer actually has added a bunch of stuff to her page that wasn't there the last time I visited, so I will probably spend a few days being 100% sure that I want to run with the piece that is already remixing in my head, but I think it's already writing itself, so I'm just going to let the synapses or whatever it is that makes that happen do their thing, and I think it is possible that I'll actually be done ahead of schedule and have to sit on this sucker for a couple of weeks.

My brain is a scary place to live.

Meanwhile, my nine-year-old came up with an idea and we are co-writing it. When it is ready, I will certainly announce it here and point you that direction. Just so you know how his brain works, HIS brain wrote this story around the initial idea of Daniel working frantically to translate something in the heat of battle and not being able to hear himself thing for all the gunfire and Jack whining because HE HAD BEEN SHOT IN THE BUTT! *snickers*
