sabOver at the Remix/Redux, the authors have been revealed. Victoria's also put out a call for DVD commentary on the remixes (why'd you do the things you do, etc), which could be damned cool too.
That said, here's my recs again, with the authors attached, for bookmarking purposes --
Clean (Live, Acoustic), by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
musesfool, is an H:LotS sort of Kellerman/Lewis and a really elegant example of how a remix works best. The remix author took the theme of the original fic and re-crafted it to give it new punch, in a slightly different version of the same story, set the night Mikey goes back to the boat to off himself. Really marvelous, especially the last line.
Means of Expression (Go Thy Way remix), remixed bymolly36 is a kickass Firefly story with Zoe both strong and fragile, and Mal and Inara, separate but equally helping keep her on her feet.
Left the Runners Behind (The Killer in Me Remix) byhesychasm is future-Farscape that kicks such serious ass I don't even know where to start. John is so jaded and toughened and Scorpy's just another guy on the ship and Jack is old and innocent. Really good stuff.
Lady Come Down (Amnesia Remix) by akire is category: Humor, and also funny! It's an Enterprise story about diplomacy and first-contact procedure gone wacky, with a groping Emperor with secret arms on a planet with a "no pointing" rule. Plus, Hoshi has three husbands.
Ready or Not (the Don't Be Alarmed Now Remix) bymosca has Giles in a dream that's funny and fucked-up and frightening. Here's the Giles that remembers being Ripper and doesn't always hate himself for it, and the Giles who understands that Buffy is both fragile and tough as nails. The original story's a Buffy/Faith piece, and the remix takes advantage of the Buffy/Faith sexitude in a twisted, skilful, Giles-POVvy way. This is a bitter and whip-smart little story, fiercely written. I love it.
The Quickening (Got No Soul to Sell) by alee purports to contain both Character Death and Character Assassination. Maybe it does, but I thought it was damned good, myself. This is a Highlander AUish futurefic, and this is the Richie I know, the Richie who plays the game to win.
A Few Things Anya Knows (the Billy Pilgrim remix) by hepcat is just that, and moreso. This is Anya, AU Anya, anyway, pre- and post-"The Gift," clinging to that stupidly human concept of hope in her inimitable ex-demonesque manner. And at the end of the day, she's the one with the most hope of 'em all.
The Wizard From Outer Space (Meta Remix) by AJ Hall. Hal wrote a 100 word HP drabble where Arthur Weasley bumped into some fanboys in London. The remixer picks up in fanboy POV and tells the unabashed lovestory story of the strangest, most wonderful, most in-character wizard he's ever met.
