gateverse_remix!!!! Yes, you could go over there and look for it, but you won't find it. It's screened until the actual reveal date on Sunday. Sunday is my birthday and I won't be around internetly until late, likely, so.
It's fun to post early and all, but without the thrill of feedback or, you know, anyone *reading* the story, I don't know what to do with myself except wonder which story of mine has been remixed. And why. I mean, I picked one story from my author's page (I'm thoroughly familiar with her work) based on incredibly awesome summary and figured out what other story to tell about it.
How did you guys pick your remix story?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaanyway. I'll be thirty on Sunday. I'm quite excited; I love birthdays and I love getting older. I'm still settling into my life here in the most expensive city I've ever lived, though, and I do sort of wish I could get my finances under control before my birthday. Actually, I just wish my finances were under control. It seriously bothers me to be in debt and I want it fixed nowish.
But I'll get it together soon. Maybe even soon enough. Never you mind that the first plan fell through.
In the meantime, I have more cards than I know what to do with at my apartment, presents from good friends and family already opened and loved, and a box from my parents that I'm not allowed to open until Sunday. My labmates completely surprised me with a chocolate cake and the lab next door came by too and there was much laughter and conversation about fireworks and birthdays and wonderful shiny things. I have friends driving up from LA, friends from boating and the house and work coming over for dinner Saturday, plans to be on the water, be wine-tasting and go out to brunch, and the weekend is just packed with good things to anticipate.
And after all of it, I'll come back here Sunday night, that much older and wiser and happier, to find fic from all of you. Great present. Happy weekend! Set off some fireworks for me and my Canada Day/Almost 4th of July birthday!
And in closing: my hair is four shades lighter than it was before I moved to California, and my skin is seven shades darker. My colors are inverting.

Date: 2007-06-30 01:32 am (UTC)Also, hee! I also wrote a gen companion to a very slashy fic. It's longer than I usually write, and a crossover, oddly, so it ended up being a little bit of a stretch. I'm pleased with it, I enjoyed living with that story for a little while and I'm ready to get it out there.
Fireworks are illegal??? As a former Midwesterner, this baffles me. *is baffled* I shall watch the fireworks displays and name a really shiny one in your honor.

Oh, wow, you story sounds really cool now - I'm really antsy see them all! But, yeah, it fun to look at another story and find this entire other angle to spin it. Mine was a bit like "okay, character x thinks character y is acting a certain way - let's get into character y's head and figure out why"
Well, only illegal in that you said we should set some off for you and in Illinois the big kind you set off are illegal (which is why people cross the border to WI or IN or IA to buy them instead...)
We still have the official displays. (yay shiny ones! Mississippi last year had a bunch that looked like flowers and other shapes and were SO COOL!)

Date: 2007-06-30 10:13 pm (UTC)Hee, your faith in me is inspiring. I have some outtakes of scenes wot took over my brain but didn't make it into the final story that I shall post Monday, maybe. But my story could be described as a remix of an episode AU that was incredibly slashy but the remix steps out past the couple and into those orbiting them and making things happen, telling their story and passing the torch from one character POV to another.
So pretty much, I remixed a single POV, past tense, slash fic into a two POV, present tense, gen story (or peripherally slash, at best.) Also, I went way back in time to start the story, though I more or less ended it in the same place. Yup.
