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.
Oh, God. Oh, God. My hair. My hair! The government gave me bad hair!

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?

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.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Hey Bitter, not promising anything you can stand to read, but I don't do happy. I was wondering, could I look at the original and try to do a remix? I've written no fan fiction, so if you want to say no, I might be relieved. At the least you'll get nothing (because I won't send you something I think is crap) but you might get a slightly better taste in your mouth and, maybe, reclaim the story a little?
