I am trying to get a bunch of internet housekeeping tasks done tonight, so... better late than never? (Also, I am sorry, but I am not going to backtrack my links and add author names. I am, at heart, a terribly lazy person and the names are now on the stories themselves in any case ( Read more... )

Today is Ouroboros Mix reveal day, hurrah!

I wrote Maid of Life and Death (Her Every Breath a Blade): In the Furthest Ring, Skaia's light is a distant, faint blue dot, barely enough for Jane to see the contours of the rocks she threads her way between. Now and again metal structures gleam like the edge of a blade reflecting starlight, but there ( Read more... )

Argh, I so wanted to finish reading all the Ouroboros Mix stories before authors are revealed around Friday noon-ish, but I have thirteen left (plus originals, oh my god, why do I do this to myself...) and I'm sorry, there is just no way ( Read more... )

There will be a part 2 sometime before Friday, but I have read approximately half the stories and thought I might as well post some recs now. There is no theme here, just some things I especially liked and wanted to share. (FYI, I didn't bother reproducing warnings or other tags -- they take up way more time and space than I have patience for on ( Read more... )

I've been reading back-to-front through the Ouroboros Mix archive (meaning I started with the stories posted earliest) and backtracking to read a bunch of the original stories that inspired the remixes while I'm at it -- some I'd read before, but a bunch I hadn't, so that's been interesting. I've also been skipping a few fics that look awesome but ( Read more... )

Ouroboros Mix 2013 is live!

For obvious reasons I cannot point you to the remix I wrote, but I can and will point you to the wonderful remix I received. :-D

Afterparty: [ETA: by t34lbloods (perculious)] Jane and Dave debrief. Remix of Hollywood Shenanigans, 2,650 words ( Read more... )

Mildly strange experience of the day: receiving a review for a fic I wrote... five years ago? six? in a fandom I have since basically abandoned, in which the reviewer ignores the story at large in order to nitpick a minor issue, and in the process restates one of the themes of the story as if triumphantly proving to me that I have somehow missed ( Read more... )

I finished the torn-up and completely rewritten scene, touched up some other stuff while I was at it, and came up with an actual title and summary instead of the terrible placeholders I'd been using. My Ouroboros Mix fic is hereby defeated ( Read more... )

I keep finding things wrong with my Ouroboros Mix fic. Like, yesterday I finished the scene I'd realized I needed to insert -- yay! -- and then this morning in the shower I realized the reason I keep being unhappy with the other scene I've been rewriting over and over is that it is the wrong scene. It's working completely against the emotional ( Read more... )

Thing I did yesterday: finish and post the rough draft of my Ouroboros remix, despite AO3's attempts to thwart me in re: formatting issues ( Read more... )
