Damn, bitter. All kinds of shitty, that.
Some people have crack, other folk have scones.
....I may need to tag this.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Bill, my friend, strange deeds are afoot at the Circle K.
Oh, that is disappointing, bitterchick. Ouch.
My remixer outed herself in the comments to my last Wednesday 100, and I have to say I'm both disappointed not to get to be surprised and a little hesitant at what she'll do with my work.
For myself, I chose one of the plottier, and I thought one of the weaker, pieces by a writer who I think is very, very good indeed at setting mood but less of a storyteller. I tried to extend and clarify the plot, and ended up turning the thing more or less inside out. I think it's turning out really well, but that could be the cold medicine talking.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I had slightly more fun ordering SA around (YOU WILL WRITE THIS ONE! YOU WILL YOU THIS VOICE!) than I did writing mine. Or, rather, picking which one to write.
Well, you didn't have to write it, so that was half the fun there.
I chose "Juxtaposition" as my safe story--which was a hard choice, because I really don't want to see "Cross to Bear" or "Touch, Feel, and Lose" fucked with--much for the same reason bitter chose "Six Months." It was a fantastic writing experience for me, and I love the story.
Though, in my favor, I've got fifty-one stories in a bunch of different fandoms, so hopefully I'm good.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
I didn't have a safe story. I couldn't choose, and I decided none of them were really sacred. That was before I wrote 'Various Versions', though, and I sort of hope they don't mess with that. Goddess, I'm nervous about this now-- both about what they'll think of the remix I've written, and about what someone will do to mine. Arghhh! I'm thinking too much about this.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Yeah.
I'm playing without a safeword here.
I *almost* picked Absolution as my safe story, but then I realized I couldn't choose (and really, after all, Absolution is 35,000 words, and you'd be mad as fuck to rewrite it), because eep--Triptych's my Very Most Pleased With For No Good Reason story/series/thing, and... and...
The list goes on, so the upshot is: everything is fair game.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I almost wish I'd got to play in this one; what would someone have done with "Pensioner"?
bitterchick, that's completely rancid and should not have happened to you, damn it.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Victoria's said she's only got about a quarter of the stories in, but that they're coming in at a good rate.
I wonder if we'll have to wait, though.

SA, did you get my e-mail with the Faith fic?

Yep. Thanks.

Right on. And thank YOU.
