Yay Candi drabble! /showers you with confetti/

I'm so happy to see you writing. :-)

This is a lovely sexy vignette with them and I too had hoped for more fic post-Ultimatum. Here's hoping this inspires more.

Yeah, I've definitely been out of the writing loop! It was 2 months ago when I posted my last drabble (of 1200 words). I'm hoping that 2010 will be a good drabble year for me and that I'll post more fic in general. I really missed writing consistently last year.

I'm glad you enjoyed this. I almost didn't post it but I want 2010 to be a fandom year so I just jumped in with both feet. haha. I certainly hope there is more post-Ultimatum fic, not just for Ian/Nikki but Ian/Colby or Don/Nikki or David/Colby or... whatever! LOL. Clearly I'm not picky. :)

Have you considered tempting your muse with some remixes? They might be a nice warm up for writing more of your own fic. I mean, I'm sure there's plenty of fic out there you could change the pairing to Ian/Nikki and make it a fresh perspective.

I think maybe I need to figure out more about the remixes. I signed up to let folks remix mine if they wanted but I keep thinking "OMG, I couldn't remix someone else's for fear of messing it up!"

so, what is the deal with remixes? Take the same idea but spin a different way? Change the pairings?

[emmademarais]

Pretty much. You keep the plot, but we allow authors to change the pairing if they want to. (If not, one popular way to remix a fic is merely to shift the POV to someone other than the original POV character.) We've got it in the sign up form if people are open to certain changes of pairing, but past checking that, go to town! I might take one of your Ian/Nikki and change it to Ian/Colby. Or I could take one of your Nikki POV drabbles and change it to Ian's POV and change the dialogue to what I hear them saying. Or I could keep all the dialogue word for word and change everything else in the fic. It's however you want to write it as long as you keep the basic plot and give credit to the original.

We've had a few remixes posted already so you can take a look at those for ideas or hit remixthedrabble for inspiration. They don't allow changes of pairing like we do, but they're the big comm for remixing drabbles

That does sound like a lot of fun! I'll have to check that out. Thanks, hon! *hugs*

Oh you should totally go for it, Candi. All of Emma's suggestions are good ones. I hope you'll play!
