le petit remix extroardinaire!

This is just to say that I unquestionably won the remix_redux lottery this year. Some awesome person (whom I was convinced was selenak until I read the beta notes in the header, now I'm baffled) remixed my Darren/Geoffrey-ish S&A story O Lamentable Day! into the absolutely spot-on hilarious, brilliant The Brave Man With A Sword (Le Petit Mort Remix). Go, now, read, feedback. AWESOME.

As for the rest of the remixes, I'm slowly making my way through them, more on this story as it etc. I recommend using the tags (scroll down for fandom, or character) to navigate the LJ; makes it easy to find what yer looking for. Remix tags are here.

Big ups and thanks to musesfool for the biggest year yet; you're the queen of fandom, lady.

some remix/redux recs

First, in Who-ville, The Mind of Shiva (The Vishnu Overdub) is a remix of The Mind of Shiva, by erinya which is an awesome story, in Tardis-pov, about the loves that the Doctor has, and has had, and will have. This remix can't be credited for the pov, but it does add a really interesting veneer to the original, taking the thruline of the Doctor's love affair with Earth and things human and giving it some real texture and depth.

I also really enjoyed Jet Ski Accidents (the Radio Silence remix), which is a due South remix that takes the original (jet ski accidents, by justbreathe80), which is a sultry little fantasy in RayKpov, flips it, and expands the story into a tale of Benton Fraser that brings in family, mythology, coming of age, and some incredibly hot sex. I love it when a remix takes hints from a smaller story and builds such a great world around them, and this is a terrific remix.

Lessons in Time (a Nine Months Ago Remix) is a remix of Nine Months Ago, a Dark Angel fic about Alec, and Max and Logan. The remix is the tale of Logan, and Alec and Max and the other X5s and 6s, and it's got all the dark conspiracy and flirty sensuality of the series, and just like the show leaves you wanting to rip everyone's pants, and latex gloves, off.

Love (the Many Splendoured Remix) is a Babylon 5 remix of selenak's original, Knowing Love, which takes the concept of the original (Vir's understanding of love) and lays it over the Zocalo like a hot, porny blanket, and gives Ivanova and Talia, among others, the chance to explore their own ideas of love and heartbreak. Vir's cameo is priceless, as are Lennier's and Marcus's, and the whole thing's told through the eyes of a lusty and sensitive OFC with a unique perspective on the B5 crew.

But at the end of the day I still win, and if you haven't read the Slings & Arrows remix I received, The Brave Man With a Sword (Le Petit Mort remix), you are missing a marvel of epistolary wonder and the awesomest thing to come out of remix this year.
