Oh, that never even occurred to me, Michele. I was just viewing the source. Not carefully enough to look at the actual tags, obviously.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
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.")
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.

Thanks for all the fish.
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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
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.

I was remixed by the person I remixed. Which, and this is probably really shouldn't be in public, but what the hell, may explain why I don't understand some stuff about it.

BWAH! And you did a *really* good job with your remix, Am. I really will have to read what was done with yours.

Now I'm kind of anxious to find out what my remixer thought of my remix.

Thanks for all the fish.
Oooh, yeah, that'll be an interesting exchange (between me and my remixee).

Do. I'd be interested to hear what you think of the original story, too.
