Will she shut up already about those remixes?
I will, I will. Last post on this topic until round seven sign-ups. I'm 85% sure^^
So, the round 6 Masterlist has been posted on remixthedrabble, and anonymous we are no more.
Three of my fics have been remixed, all of them earlier HP drabbles.
People Skills At 7, Lucius Malfoy already shows great people skills. was remixed into Saving the Best for Last (The Anticipation Remix) [Humphrey Goyle, Lucius Malfoy, 100 Words, Rated G] by et_tu_lj - I feel even worse about this poor Goyle Sr. now. He really didn't stand a chance against a Malfoy.
The Devil You See Ron discovers that seeing Severus and Hermione dance together isn't the worst thing that could happen was remixed into Now You See It, Now You Don't (The Sneaky Slytherin Remix) [Severus/Hermione, 100 Words, Rated PG] by velvetmouse - showing Severus entirely too entertained by Ron's reaction. Very good Severus voice.
I Didn't Know, Before, What A Luxury I Had It wasn't the luxurious wines or the finest silks that Lucius missed most while in Azkaban. was remixed into Within These Walls of Hell, Déjà-vu (The Sins Revisited Remix) [Lucius Malfoy, 100 Words, Rated G] by bewarethesmirk - Giving us a glimpse at another of Lucius' stays at Azkaban. I love how she hints that the good guys maybe aren't exactly as exemplary as they should.
Remixers? If you happen to read this, do you have any suggestions/remarks about how I could make a remixer's life easier with my fics & drabbles listings?
I have written three remixes in three different fandoms. They all have been betaed by dacian_goddess, who deserves praises and thanks for her patience. *praises* *thanks*
Good Omens: It Started With An HP Box Set (The Footnote-Happy Remix) [Crowley/Aziraphale, 100 Words, Rated PG] for lilian_cho, a remix of Reading Omens in Harry Potter.
➔ I had fun writing this one, and coming up with the footnotes. But getting it to 100 words while still including everything I wanted hasn't been exactly easy.
Harry Potter: The Magic's Gone (The When Dreams Don't Come True Remix) [Petunia Evans, 100 Words, Rated PG], a remix of Broken Dreams, by sirius_luva.
➔ I'm so glad I had an opportunity to write about Petunia, especially Petunia as a child. She's so overlooked as a character. I had a hard time finding a title for this one, and then a subtitle.
Master and Commander: Of Vanishing Weeks And Never-Ending Seconds (The William Mowett vs. The Passing Of Time Remix) [William Mowett/Tom Pullings, 100 Words, Rated PG], a remix of Happy Christmas, by jestana.
➔ My memory is trying to trick me into believing that writing this one has been so easy that the first draft was the one I finally submitted. I have evidence that several attempts were necessary to get to the final version, but it doesn't matter, I'm still ridiculously in love with this drabble. The title was a spur of the moment thing though - I was toying with ideas when this one came out of nowhere.
Because you'll have no problem finding recs lists on the comm members's journals, I decided to go for a different approach - a sample, based only on the titles. I can't exactly call it a rec list, because I haven't read them all, but here is my Top Ten Favorite Remix Title for round 6 (alphabetically by fandom):
- Angel the Series - Sorrowful Mysteries (Ten Hail Marys, One Our Father) [Drusilla, Spike, Fred, 100 Words, Rated PG]
- Doctor Who: Last Lust List (Lest Ye Be Lost Remix) [The Fifth Doctor, Adric, Nyssa, Tegan, Turlough, Peri, 100 Words, Rated PG, haiku]
- Hellsing: Four Horses, Seven Seals (The Pale Horse Remix) [Alucard/Integra, 100 Words, Rated PG, AU/futurefic]
- Horatio Hornblower: Too Much (Not Enough) [Horatio Hornblower, 100 Words, Rated G, Based more on the books than the movies]
- House: O Holy Night (The 365 Shopping Days Left Remix) [House, Wilson, 100 Words, Rated PG]
- Merlin: Meddlesome (The Who Needs Ketchup Remix) [The Dragon, 100 Words, Rated G]
- Saiyuki: The Best Cockroach Is A Drunk Cockroach (The Get On With It Already remix) [Hakkai/Gojyo, 100 words, Rated PG-13]
- Stargate Atlantis: Linguistics (The Tower is Babbling Remix) [Team (John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Teyla Emmagen, Ronon Dex), 100 Words, Rated G]
- Stargate Atlantis: Marry/Shag (The Cliff's Already Handled Remix) [Rodney McKay/John Sheppard, 100 Words, Rated PG]
- Torchwood: Injuries borne (The Quiet as a Church Mouse Remix) [Ianto, 100 Words, Rated PG, implied dark themes]
And... I can't end without adding a couple recs.
First, for anyone knowing the movie My Beautiful Laundrette, sophinisba wrote a breathtaking remix - Wonderland Tour (The Morning After Remix) [Omar/Johnny, 100 Words, Rated PG-13 for swears and underage sex]
And second, I haven't seen Sports Night (though I wish I had), but I really enjoyed hyperfocused's remix Never Leaving Home (The Being is not Doing Remix) [Dan Rydell/Casey McCall, 100 Words, Rated PG]. It's just good writing.
