own upsmanship, ver. remix

[sab]

I seriously considered not owning up to having written this at all, but then it occurred to me I didn't want anyone else to be accidentally saddled with it. *g* Which is to say, for the remix_redux I wrote Blow it Down (the Straw House remix), which is a Doctor Who Rose/doppelRose sort of remix of a very lovely story by livii.

I love doing the remix and have been faithful to it every year (I think!), and I came into this one like gangbusters, but somehow the story didn't gel the way I wanted to, and I ended up with a finished product I wasn't terribly proud of (sorry, livii!). No comment on the quality of the original piece, of course, it's just that the idea I had for the remix was more effective in high-concept abstract than it turned out to be (clunky, top-heavy, handwavy) in the story itself.

But the biggest ups go to likethesun2, who wrote the hell out of my Slings & Arrows remix, and deserves to be lauded far and wide for it. Leigh, you were my second guess!

Now I'm writing again, which is good -- I made about eight paragraphs of Doctor/Martha mess in one doc, and now am attempting a whole new Doctor/Martha thingy. I also signed up for the Rose Tyler/Martha Jones ficathon (would provide link but am not on own computer and can't be arsed to go hunt it down) because this Rose/Martha thing is too hot to ignore. And when I feel my most capable (have had Intellibek in my Robeks, for example) I work at my Slings & Arrows Oliver/Geoffrey/Ellen OT3.

Actual good writing! That's something new we're gonna try for May, eh?

Oh, and my daemon is a raccoon now, want to go poke him?

Good, I need you! This new Martha thing I just posted doesn't suck, Liz helped some. You'll read it and let me know. But mostly my Slings and Arrows, you will cheerlead and help me write this.
