Big Name Fan, Small Name Fan. BNF is in common usage in fandom these days.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Gotcha. I've heard the terms, but the acronyms stumpted me.

My voice is saying, "What if they make it worse? What if they make it--better?" My self-confidence is in a fairly decent balance at the moment, but someone taking a story I like and then showing me all the errors--well, I always sympathized with Salieri in Amadeus, when Mozart takes the piece of music Salieri is so proud of, hacks it apart, then riffs off it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Might I hasten to add that I admire people who have enough confidence in their abilities to sign up for the remix challenge?
HAHAHA.
It's called being crazy. I have no confidence in my hack-like self. In fact, I'm scared stiff.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
I signed up because my ego was very curious to see what someone else would do with my story.
I do not think I can live up to the wackiness of my remixee. Hmm. Must pick story.

In fact, I'm scared stiff.
Well, you still signed up.
Me, I'm just bad with deadlines. Also bad with stringent guidelines. I prefer things like title challenges, or first line challenges. Gives me wiggle room.
Oh, yeah, and there's the insanity thing. Not to mention the lack of free time thing. And the five stories I'd rather be finishing thing.

V!Giles would be very upset with me if I divided my attention further.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Well, you still signed up.
Because I'm a Huge Dork.
Ugh. Must pick one.
So many, all good.
Oh, and I didn't choose a can't-remix story, either. It's all fair game. Gulp.

Despite the fact that I have no suitable stories to put in, I'd love to mess with somebody else's story/structure/style. I did a surreal Sugarland Express- style take on the Mad Tea Party from Alice In Wonderland that was a blast to write... but Reverend Dodgson is not around to get upset that I've messed with his prose.

Bill, my friend, strange deeds are afoot at the Circle K.
My remixee wrote my all-time favorite short Smallville piece. I was going to do that, and then I thought, why? So I'm picking something else. Like I said, our styles are very different, and I'm torn between doing something that's more typically me, or doing something a bit more stylistically experimental, just because I can...
