Hello hello I have been feeling rotten again for really the past two weeks. So much for Whumptober! I was whumped, not the characters. Alas. Still, I hope soon I can at least edit the second one I managed before that.
So, sorry, I'm not keeping up again. I begin to wonder if I ever will. :-/
Anyrate, in the meantime, Remix Revival wrapped up and revealed authors yesterday, and I wrote this, from the original version by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
still_lycoris. I was planning to remix one of their excellent short B7 ficlets but No! They had written this gem and I had no choice but to play with it.
Remants of an Unlife (The Magellan & Creek (Deceased) Remix) (2332 words) by thisbluespirit
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Jonathan Creek (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Major Character Death
Relationships: Jonathan Creek/Maddy Magellan
Characters: Jonathan Creek, Maddy Magellan, Joey Ross, Carla Borrego, Adam Klaus
Additional Tags: Remix, Ghosts, Alternate Universe, practically a randall & hopkirk au, but not strictly, otherwise jonathan would have to wear a white duffel coat
Summary: When you spend your life going round disproving the paranormal, the last thing you want to do is end up as a ghost. Jonathan isn't exactly sure his friends are helping, either.
It was a looser remix than I've done before in some ways, and it was hard to show that it was AU (i.e. now everything was operating by Randall & Hopkirk rules rather than as in the original), and I'm not sure I succeeded totally in making that clear. But in all other ways, I think it turned out pretty entertaining (& its remixee liked it anyway).
As usual, some lines are taken from the original fic.
