• Got my Remix assignment! I can work with it, though for me, at least, it's always harder to remix the work of a good writer. With a not-so-good writer it's easier to see the hook, the part that sticks out as something I would have done differently. But I admit it's always kind of fun to remix a friend's stories. And I have an idea of which story ( Read more... )

Signups have opened for this year's version of Remix Redux, which is somewhat confusingly titled both 12 (the version) and 15 (the year), and is for the first time running without requiring participants to qualify in a particular list of fandoms (yay), though is also not using nominations which might make things tricky on the matching side ( Read more... )

Remix is live! No prizes for guessing what I wrote, as obvious story is obvious, at least to me. (It was a pinch hit, so I didn't 'get' a remix, but someone did remix one of my stories for Remix Madness, which goes live tomorrow night. I also wrote four Madness fic(let)s. Three of them are for people on my flist, so if you guess the story I ( Read more... )

I sort of blew off the last few days of the Fandom Appreciation Challenge, but I wanted to get in on today's bonus challenge, which is to rec two challenges or communities. There is also a bonus from a few days ago which is essentially the same thing, so I'm going to give you three.

I have just discovered (thanks to aquila1nz) that some months ago I accidentally set my LJ entries so that only friends could comment on them. I had intended to change my settings, which had long been "anyone can comment", to "only registered users can comment", because I was getting a ridiculous number of spam comments (like, a dozen a day) on old fic ( Read more... )
