sabHere's how I'm breakin' on down the remix so far!
FIRST, and most important, somebody out there went to the trouble of writing what we ALL wanted to read, namely, giving us Homesickness (Chakotay/OFC, Chakotay/Janeway) in KatherinePOV! Well, if not all of us, certainly ME and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
projectjulie wanted to read this. And my remixer, whoever she might be, did a damned good, yeoman's job. This is exactly the Kathy who belongs in this story. I give you:
Homesickness (Time Measured in Teaspoons), a remix of Homesickness [ST:VOY, Chakotay/Janeway, Chakotay/other]
And then, some other stuff I read and liked, that you should read too:
Light in the Darkness (Samsara Mix), Firefly, Inara/River and awkward and sexy and another example of taking the original story and flipping the POV, a remix of Light in the Darnkess, byfox1013. In this case, getting the remix from Inara's point of view is a really great insight -- I recommend reading the remix first and then reading the original. Inara's take on what River thinks, Inara's impressions of River being crazy -- all of a sudden River is somehow much, much saner through Inara's eyes.
A Love Restrained (All The Broken Pieces Remix), House, House/Wilson. This is a remix ofsummerfling's A Love Restrained, and so far we're 3-and-0 for remixes that flip the POV of the original story. In this case, Esse's original, in House POV, is actually the better of the two stories, but this Wilson-POV remix makes a nice, wistful, lustful counterpoint to Esse's original bittersweet story of Wilson being selfish and trying to have it all -- in Wilson POV he is, of course, more sympathetic, his selfishness almost understandable as opposed to his playing both sides against the middle of the original, which is a cool twist.
Finale Canto (Speaker of the Dead Remix) is a remix of an extended drabble, Bel Canto, byrinalin. Firefly, Jayne and basically gen, the remix takes a new POV (Jayne's, where the orig is Mal's) but also extends the story, takes glimpses of what happened between Jayne and Book from the drabble and makes them into a full-fledged story, spot-on Jayne pov, unsentimental and really moving at the same time.
And then there's Pick and Roll (The Drink Before the War Remix), BSG2003 and my fave remix I've read so far. This remixer takes the author, SabaceanBabe's original, Bonding Rituals, which is a great and observant Helo fic featuring Anders and the Caprica Buccaneers, and blows it up into a full, world-building story of growing up a Pyramid player in the colonies, through the eyes of Anders' teammate Sue-Shaun. The remix starts before the Cylon invasion and takes us straight up the Pyramid ranks, through the invasion and occupied Caprica and right up through when Anders meets a punk-ass viper pilot named Kara Thrace. This story's long, moody, clever, and a really human tale of trying to just sort of live your life, during wartime.

More to come as I make my way through this fat-ass bookmark file. I saved all the Firefly, BSG, Atlantis, House, Trekverse and Jossverse stories, so I'll let you know what's what.
Also, there is no way you will ever be able to guess which remix I wrote unless I told ya, I bet. I dare you to prove me wrong. Drabble or an icon or a musical number to whoever gets it right, feel free to guess loudly and openly wherever I can hear yo. *g*
