Remix '08!
Whee! To join in the squee appearing on the flist, it is that time again, when possibly the mother of all multi-fandom exchanges descends upon us. All hail ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
remixredux08!
The basic premise of Remix, for those unfamiliar, is fairly simple: take someone else's story, rework it, e.g. by changing the POV or the tone. The way it works gets a little more complicated than that, but there's full instructions and a link to the sign up post here.
You need five 500 word stories to qualify to be remixed in a given fandom, and I'm only one story off in Doctor Who, so I shall probably rattle something off before the deadline (February 23rd). Considering I also have one Torchwood fic in the works, I am contemplating whether it would be very crazy to attempt two more ficlets there as well over the course of the week to qualify. (This raises the question of why on earth I haven't written more in either of these fandoms before, to which I have no good answer.) We shall see!
But yay, because I enjoyed this so much last year, from writing my own submission, (It goes like this (the slowing heartbeat remix), adapted from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
glass_icarus), to receiving a reworking of The Shores of the Sea (The Edge of the River (The Hudson Palisades Remix) by cedarlibrarian), to reading all of the really quite exceptional fic that appeared in the archive. So I am stoked this time around!
