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.

Ooh! Nice one, Victor. I think you should do it. The power dynamic would be great fun to work out.

Why did you think other stories would be better?

Well, that story was just...weird. It was...weird...on the re-read. I don't know. In part, I think I was disappointed that they picked a Jossverse story, because I tend to work in diverse and odd fandoms. I was sort of hoping for something unique, and instead it's just a POV switch with a lot of the original story there on an original story that wasn't that good anyway. Eh, well. You get what you can.

I liked Plei's remix though. It was weird in the good way.

it also feels slightly inappropriate to be going through this in a public forum not in private e-mail, but as I don't know who it is, I... I don't know. Maybe I need some more sleep.

I thought of that, but then I decided since the names weren't available, I'll just shrug it off.

I'll just shrug it off.

Having had a nap, I think I'll do the same. With a note that if whoever wrote my remix is reading this, my profile addy is good.

If you want to know who wrote your story, it's whitefonted at the top of each page .

Maybe I've spent too long in writer's workshops - what's wrong with commenting on someone's public work in a public forum, if you do it in good faith? (I.e., not "what the hell were you thinking, bitch?" but "I don't understand this choice because X, Y, Z.")

Oh! Thanks, Michele.

(How did I miss that? *thumps head on desk*)

Oh, that never even occurred to me, Michele. I was just viewing the source. Not carefully enough to look at the actual tags, obviously.

Fandom is a tempestuous bitch, and those in it are often volatile.

Dude, the person in charge of the Remix wrote mine. Trippy.

nothing, because I haven't eaten yet:

Heh. Plei is going to laugh when she discovers who remixed her.

She remixed Word Games from Xander's POV. Huh. Nice job, actually. I'll have to drop her a note.

I really want to read all of the others - so many. So very many stories.

AJ Hall has written a lovely take on Liz Bar's HP/Sandman crossover. I especially like the librarian of UU. Don't think she quite nails Delirium, for my money, but everything else is lovely.
