Remix & Other Things

[thisbluespirit]

Yesterday was an odd day, for a reason that I will explain later (like the Doctor) but also because of a pretty awful one that I can't (nobody's ill or died, but something really crazy and awful has happened to someone in my family - they wouldn't appreciate me explaining online, so I won't). Anyway, it was an odd day & I'm still a little tired, but I'll try & catch up with you all presently.

However, this morning (as well as having to go see the doctor; not The Doctor, sadly, although I wouldn't trust a sick note from him) I woke up to find the Remix Madness collection has opened, and that someone had actually remixed one of my ficlets:

The People On The Balcony (The Lone Girl Remix) (341 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Sapphire and Steel
Rating: General Audiences
Relationships: Sapphire/Silver/Steel
Summary: She doesn't know who they are, she doesn't care, but she knows that they belong together.

It's a remix of Stealing A Moment, an OT3ish Sapphire & Steel ficlet I wrote the other week, and it's really lovely, using an outsider POV to look at the three. *pets shiny remix ficlet*

The main collection is here. I haven't really looked properly, but did stop the other day to read a couple brilliant West Wing fics:


I am probably mainly posting these for the benefit of belantana, who probably isn't here, but they were v good:
two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl (the anatomy of apocalypse. remix) (2024 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: West Wing
Rating: Mature
Relationships: C. J. Cregg/Sam Seaborn
Summary: If wishes were horses, they would all have pale riders.

(Or, belantana, there is an apocalypse, do not worry about anything else in the summary; you will like it. Or admire it, anyway. It is pretty bleak, in a good way. :-D)

And this is v sweet and well done, Josh, and Ave Maria:

Full of Grace (the human wisdom remix) (1195 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: West Wing
Rating: General Audiences
Characters: Josh Lyman, Joanie Lyman, C.J. Cregg, Danny Concannon, Abby Bartlet, Donna Moss
Summary: Mary isn't the only woman that's full of grace. There have been at lest four in his life.

I was going to say, I'll have to go back and read the rest (DW!) but I am still thinking that about Yuletide 2010 and Yuletide 2011. So, you know, when I get a brain back, or an e-reader or something..


Also, while I am on the subject of ficathons and exchanges and so on, not_primetime is gearing up for its exchange, and I can't sign up, really, but it's sort of Yuletide for medium-sized fandoms that are ineligible for Yuletide but are not those big fandoms with their own exchanges... which includes Classic Doctor Who and the main Big Finish ranges (and, other things, but what else matters?). So I thought I should mention it as relevant to your interests, dear flist. (You should go nominate so ALL THE CHARACTERS are available.)

*wanders away to re-read your ficlet then read the remixed fic*

I enjoyed the Remix ficlet...

*hugs* Hope everyone's going to be alright :(

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you. I think and hope it will, because it's just so crazy, but it'll be v bad if it doesn't. (Sorry to be mysterious. Just glare at some idiotic people down in London for me, okay?)

[pitry.livejournal.com]

I'll glare at all eight million of them!
*gives her best catty glare*

(And don't worry about being mysterious, I totally understand).

[thisbluespirit]

No, not all of them!! Only one or two very specific people. But thank you. :-)

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear about the Terrible Horrible No-Good Very-Bad Thing. Many hugs for you & your family and glares to others as appropriate. Hope you're ok?

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thank you. And, yes, I'm okay, and hopefully things will get sorted, but it isn't good. I don't like being 100s of miles away from people while they cry on the telephone & it was a complete shock to everyone, especially the person it happened to.
