This was beautiful in its frankness and honesty. I love that you didn't oversimplify the emotional aspect of the issue from Remus' POV, it felt very genuine and made it much easier to identify with him without getting too bogged down in the politik of it. Wonderful job!

I'm glad you liked it & thanks for his lovely comment :-)

oh, that was lovely!

woldy July 26 2009, 16:38:53 UTC

Glad you enjoyed it :-)

Oh! Wow, this really is what Remix is all about. I'd never have written this, and it's so different from what the original story was about in some subtle and very clever ways, and I love the end result (even though it makes me sad!). There's a lot of great detail in here, and a lot of truth.

I have my suspicions about who you are, Mystery Author, but if I'm wrong then I look forward to discovering a great new writer!

woldy July 26 2009, 16:44:04 UTC

So were your suspicions correct? I thought I'd been fairly sneaky & then saw your comment and went 'oh, maybe not that sneaky then' ;-)

Anyway, I had fun remixing your lovely little story & I'm really glad you liked it :-D

They were indeed! The characterisation and the politics really reminded me of your writing.

Oh wow, this just broke my heart. I love the way you've taken the dialogue and given it an entirely different meaning.

woldy July 26 2009, 16:44:47 UTC

My apologies for the heartbreak, but thanks for the lovely comment!

Oh, man. That broke my heart. That was excellent, and I can't help but want to give poor Remus a hug. The emotion in this was poignant, and very well written.

woldy July 26 2009, 16:46:42 UTC

Remus definitely seems as though he needs a hug, but I'm glad you liked it :-)
