Castles in the Sky at AO3.

remixrevival has now revealed the authors for the main collection, so I can now own up that this was my effort, though I doubt it'll come as too much of shock to anyone who read it and knows me!

From Grieved It on its Way by still_lycoris. My remix is thoroughly spoilery for Blake's 7 in multiple ways (should anyone Doctor Who side be interested).

The first fic I read when looking for what to remix was this one, and it was so obviously the one I was going to have to remix, I was almost affronted. Anyway, the original is a lovely/sad post-canon crossover about Orac and the TARDIS, with Orac sending files to the TARDIS, so I could switch it to the TARDIS's end and explore the files she receives. Plus, there's an old joke about elephants and trees.


With thanks to aralias who beta-ed the original, and who asked the important question: where was Gan? (Whoops. Sorry, Gan!)

(Hey, it's been a while since I've done this... I used to do it all the time!)

Zukalis put up another Blake's 7 vid, and it's rather gorgeous - Blake and Jenna (or Blake/Jenna, but probably not?) in shades of grey. Spoilery, of course. (There's a line.) The Ground Beneath Her Feet:



(And given that my icon meme threw Jenna/Steel at me, it's rather odd to find a song I only know from a Sapphire & Steel fanvid being used here for Jenna rather than Sapphire. See, I'm right. There's a sort of shared blonde coolness going on there. :lol:)

But spoilery, I said that, didn't I?

... so a sort of meme?

I've seen people messing with the drabble-matic thing (except it doesn't actually do drabbles - minus points for misuse of the term!). It asked for so much info, I didn't bother, but then thought if I put Five and Tegan in and just used words that went with them (beige, purple, cricket ball etc). It, um, well... It makes no sense whatsoever, but is bizarrely not unDW-like because it does include an attempt by one of the two to rule the world.

( Disturbing Five/Tegan generated ficlet )

And I can't offer any explanation for what it gave me when i tried with Tarrant and Dayna. I mean, I know there's a lot of B7 slash, but it was a randomly generated ficlet. (I think it must be based on a certain type of fanfic cliche. Darn. Even when I put random words in a random generator, B7 won't do romance.)

( More disturbing Tarrant/Dayna ficlet )

Okay, and then I did Blake and Jenna, and it came so near pr0n that I think I should stop now. But this generator definitely knows how B7 works as compared to DW. I am beginning to wonder if Orac is about on the nets...
