On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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.

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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

Yep. Thanks.

Right on. And thank YOU.

Bill, my friend, strange deeds are afoot at the Circle K.

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 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.
