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.
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.

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.

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...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Micole! I never see you any more.
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.

See, shrift and I really do share a brain. It's not just talk.
Now I'm dying to know who everyone's mixee is. I'm nosy that way.

Thanks for all the fish.
I signed up. Got my remixee today. Never heard of her (I assume her). I can't get into FF.net to check her stories. Will try again later.
I am currently kicking myself in the ass for doing this. I love my stories. I'm proud of them. I worry that another writer might mess with my universe. Or, worse, improve it.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I know some people around here signed up for it. Elena? Kristen? Lizard?
Me.
I have read the list of partcipants, and I think I can guess.
Where's this?
Might I hasten to add that I admire people who have enough confidence in their abilities to sign up for the remix challenge?
Nah. I just like challenges. They're all I've been writing lately.
