The Remix is on again! Go sign up!

In other news, here's a one-question poll:

Poll FBI files

(I'm not sure which option I'd like best.)

I signed up to Remix... And now I'm a little scared. :/

deird1 March 21 2010, 21:36:03 UTC

Me too. (Why on earth do I do this to myself?)

Well, it always looks like fun when other people do it! Of course, now I realise I'm going to get someone whose entire oeuvre is, I dunno, Willow/Angel or something. If that's the case, they'll have written one obscure drabble that's something else, right? Right?

deird1 March 21 2010, 21:45:11 UTC

It is fun...

If all else fails, just pick the weirdest one, make it go backwards through time, and add ice-cream. That's what I did, anyway.

Thanks for the reminder about remix! *goes to sign up*

I don't think I'm going to go nearly as crazy-flakes this year, I think.

(That reminds me...I have to finish transferring Reaping the Whirlwind to my LJ...)

I'm not the Remix would be the same without you deciding to turn something mini into a multi-part fic, and then headdesking for the next month...

:)

Not signing up for Remix, not a writer but regarding the poll, I'd think it was accessible to high rank but blacked out almost entirely.

I've read a fic where there's an FBI file on the initiative - and someone in the government has gone through the whole thing, line by line, with a black marker. And they haven't just blacked out everything... exactly... more gone through it, blacked out a quarter, gone through what's left, decided to black out a few more bits, then decided that maybe these two sentences should go as well... until literally the entire file is just black lines - and only then do they sit back and realise what they've done.

Oh, that's funny!

(Although I seriously doubt the FBI has too many paper files left anymore...)

It's classified. You're not going to see it. Ever.

Unless you're Alec Hardison.

*grins*

menomegirl March 21 2010, 22:36:57 UTC

Someone should write that. Seriously.

The idea of a remix fascinates me, but I don't feel the urge to participate. There are fics that I'd love to rewrite - the fics that frustrate me and make me wish that the writer did it differently. The chances that I get the opportunity to rewrite the stuff by this or that concrete author are next to zero.

So I go back to rewriting a guy named Joss Whedon... :)
