Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Okay, so I signed up for this remix challenge and I got my author. It's an author I'm not familiar with. I've started reading their fic and I have no idea what the hell I was thinking in signing up. Not because they're not a good writer or whatever but because I can't think of a way to rewrite any of these that's remotely interesting or cool.

I might take you up on that. First, I need to reread these stories 20 times each.

Are they good enough to warrant such close scrutiny?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I think we should do a similar challenge.

Bee-yatch, you on AIM?

Where you trade stories with another person, and take their story and rewrite it from a certain point. Which is a challenge Ple made, only her's was take your own fic instead of someone else's.

Which is how Absolution was sprogged. No pun intended.

The author in question is good. But it's all pairings I don't write and fics that are kind of...vague. That's not the right word but it's the best I can come up. The stories are ambiguous in some respects.

And I'm not the sharpest spork at KFC when it comes to this stuff. So I need to read them and figure out what they mean and they decide how I'ma gonna fuck with that.
