update: remix.

Hey, Remix authors have been revealed!

pensnest wrote a remix of one of my stories, [Reindeer Games (the Like a Lightbulb Remix)], which was great. I know it's not really mean to be a gift when you remix someone's story, but I still want to say thank you -- I really enjoyed reading it.

And I wrote a remix of one of joyfulseeker's stories, [Show Me the Way to the

I adored what you did with joyfulseeker's story. It's a story I loved to begin with, and you just made it even more gorgeous. Timbertrick 4ever indeed.

Thanks so much -- I'm really glad you liked it.

Is this where I get to do the boogie-dance and say that I totally guessed that you were my remixer? This dialogue here:

"This seems pretty good to me," Justin said. "You here, and me here, and both of us finally talking to each other, and, you know, other things, and I just - I'm pretty happy. This is what I want."

struck me as very signature-you Justin dialogue. I loved what you did with the story. I mean, yes, yes, you didn't write it for me, but it was still really cool to read what you did with it. Thank you!

I wondered if people would guess it was me! Anyway, I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for giving me such a good story to work with.

It does feel like a gift, even if it isn't meant to be, so what a relief it is when the original writer likes the remix.

I very much enjoyed your remix too, having particular love for the series of brief phone conversations, and Justin's thoughts in the scene with him and JC and Chris. It seemed to me there was a lot of good stuff produced this year, the writers being a very select bunch meant there was lots of good material to work with.

Thanks a lot! And yeah, it was a good Remix this year, I thought -- though I always like this challenge & its results.
