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 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.
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.
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.
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?

I think that a lot of people are like me, and had this weekend set aside to finish it.
Thanks guys. I guess I'm just feeling let down because it wasn't the "cool" experience I hoped it was.
But I'm sure you'll have better experiences. I mean, two women I know love love loved their remix story. And it was a really cool idea for a remix too. So, you know, sometimes it works perfectly.
