I've been watching QaF lately, and I was wondering if there's any Brian Kinney/Spike slash out there, because I have an idea I may write up for fun.
I haven't seen any, but I haven't really been looking. I have seen Brian/Justin/Clark/Lex, though.
You turn on any of my crew, you turn on me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Ah, fandom. She works in mysterious and often alarming ways.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Heh. See, I envision this story of Brian trying to pick up Spike in a bar, and the two of them getting so caught up in trying to out-wit, out-alpha and out-top each other that it never goes anywhere, and they get increasingly frustrated.
Then a bald guy from Smallville walks in...
Probably good reasons I don't write fanfic.

Please make an exception in this case? Cause... GUH!

I may. But if someone wants it, it's fair game. just let me know.

Bill, my friend, strange deeds are afoot at the Circle K.
Somedays, I almost feel bad I don't get Showtime.
So, what do people think of their remixes? (I did this one, and was remixed here.) I liked the shift of POV in the remix of "Lost" so much that I didn't even notice at first that it was really not a shift of POV at all, but a reversal of the story (instead of Clark flying in through Lex's hotel bedroom window, Lex drives back to Clark's college dorm room). I think it's clever, but it's not at all what I expected!

I'm okay with mine. It's basically just a complete shift to Xander's point of view, with most of the story intact. I just thought there were better stories to remix. It makes me wonder what people think of my stories, you know?

Why did you think other stories would be better?
I was convinced the remix would be Study Break, because it's fluffy and short but things happen in it. "Lost" was as much an attempt to write sleepiness convincingly as anything else -- she had to flip the plot around to get something new out of it.

Heh. I know that the remixes I did were not always the most complex and interesting stories written by the writers (espec. my assigned remix, as it was venturing into ACK! I don't dare touch a word of it! territory), but were the ones I thought might be interesting to expand on, or the ones that spoke to me.
The second mix I did, I was 3/4 through remixing another story, and not happy with what I was coming up with.
So I don't think it's about the original author so much as the remixer. I never would have thought Of Incubi and Inversion was the one that would get picked. It's the one I tend to forget is there, and all.

Exactly. "Stumbling Fast" (and Slod knows it was me, so, I'm owning up to it) wasn't my favorite of her stories. That's "Still," which I loved, but I wouldn't have wanted to change even if I could come up with something. "Stumbling Fast" had a way in for me.
