drabbles, remixed!
Apr. 13th, 2008 09:23 pmSo I have a whole stack of fun things to talk about as far as remixing,
remixredux08,
remixthedrabble, and the awesome folks who came by the remixfreakingredux AIM chat for cheering, confusion, venting, puzzling through, betaing, and in general discussing the finer points of remixing as a sport. I'd check you all by name but since the remixes haven't been revealed yet I figure there's always the possibility of letting something confidential leak: though at the moment I can't think what that would be in this case.
But, anyway. I'm going to talk about these things later in April, when the Remix Redux remixes go up.
TODAY, I am going to point out that
remixthedrabble has gone live, and somehow I won the Awesome lottery and got 3 of my stories remixed.
FIRST, in M*A*S*H fandom, I got His Hands (Returning Remix), a remix of my drabble Hands, that took the snapshot I'd written and set it in heartbreaking context. Because there really is something special about BJ and Peg.
THEN, in my old Star Trek stomping grounds, I got Today Is Yesterday (Future Past Remix), which remixed my longish Kira/Dukat story Dislocation, Condemnation, Revelation, In Temptation into 100 perfect words. If you want to see the magic of drabble-remixing in top form, read these 100 words; they say it all.
And FINALLY, someone wrote Threads (The Backstitch in Time Remix), which took my Doctor Who story Savile Row, a story mostly about a pocket, and brought the Whoverse mythology, time travel and Martha, and made it actually about something real. Nice remixing, person. Brilliant job.
I love this season, I do.

Just, quick. I've been watching the X-Files Colonization Collection which is full of all my favorite eps from season 6 when Diana Fowley's around and Mulder's Jesus...
And I'm hitting all these bits of dialogue that launched a thousand fics at this time, with Scully and Diana fighting over Mulder, and, I WANT.
My memory of that fandom is so hazy, I have no way of knowing if this is a fic or fics I've actually read or whether it's simply the sort of thing that zillions of people wrote fic about --
I want one where Scully's in Africa or whatever and Mulder's in the hospital being psychic with Diana, and Scully's all pining for his "beautiful mind" (seriously, do you remember this, people? OH SHOW), and then she comes back, and, whatever. I'm definitely looking for something unapologetically shippery -- is it out there? Where's this fic? It must be somewhere! If you've seen it, or anything similar, or even remotely similar, tell me, will ya?
