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: 2007-07-01 11:58 pm (UTC)1) I'm supposed to include the original story. Oops.
2) If I were to actually carry the concept out, I would need to decide what happened and why and how it affected, like, Eastern Europe.
I could probably have gotten around the first problem, but Eastern Europe stymied me. So I went back and looked again and briefly considered Footsoldiers on Uneven Ground, because, hey, Bra'tac and Teal'c and Teal'c's mother, there is no bad there! But then, problem: There's new canon on Teal'c's mother from Talion that I may or may not want to incorporate, and I actually am not sure I could write your Teal'c's Mom instead of mine.
So I went back again and chose Perchance to Dream, because there was Teal'c and it was a small enough story that I could just flip the POV and go from there. And then I wrote the first third or so and stalled out horribly, but I FINISHED IT IN THE END so I win, I guess.
And that's how I chose my remix story.

Date: 2007-07-02 03:43 am (UTC)And then I realize that it means you *actually did* remix Perchance to Dream and I have to wonder why I'm sitting here stunned and rereading your comment when I could be high-tailing it over to *actually read* the story.
That including the original story thing is the stupid reason my story ended up 7,000 words rather than the completely respectible 2,000 it started off being. I would have loved to have seen what story you'd find in the others, but I'm so excited to read your remix now. Wow. Thanks, in advance, you know.
*goes off to read now, kthx*
