remix stories are up!

[oiran]

The Remix Redux: Reloaded archive is open! Whoever* remixed my excuse for twincest story Siamese Twin is a GENIUS!

This author takes the idea of a cloned Lex and uses it to examine the Lex-Lionel relationship and the nature of identity but, most importantly, suggests an extremely plausible explanation for some of S4's serious deficiencies without refuting show canon. It's seriously brilliant.

Oh, and the dirty twincest angle is still very present :)

Go read Conjoined Twin (Separation Anxiety Remix) Go! Shoo! Get busy!

I couldn't be more thrilled. I feel very lucky :)



*I'm pretty sure I know who it is...I'll doubtless let you know if I was right when the names are revealed.

cool i'm printing it out and am going \to read it in bed.

It's so much better than my twincest story! It's got a plot and everything! I'm stupidly proud that I'm even associated with such a good piece of fic.

Very curious. There are not QaF Remixes. I wonder why. *scratches head*

[oiran.livejournal.com]

I guess no one with only QaF for a fandom signed up? You had to have at least three stories in a fandom in order to have any of your stories in that fandom remixed. If you have a bunch of fandoms that would qualify, you can't pick which fandom gets remixed - you only get to pick which fandom *you* remix.

But that is weird, since it's a pretty damn big fandom, isn't it? Or maybe it's not so big but just generates such billowing clouds of wank that I'm unable to properly judge its dimensions.

I'm afraid now to reread the one I submitted. I added stuff after beta. Kind of a lot of stuff. I really liked my changes *then*, but I was very sleepy and I'm afraid I took out all the sense by accident. I worry about the stupidest shit, I know.

Completely different subject: for whatever reason, the no-audio files are transferring much faster today. Actually, I'd better check that it's not just *saying* that, and that they really are transferring...

Well, I was curious and checked...and out of seven pages of people signing up, which I think is probably at least 200, there were only 2 who had QaF as one of the fandoms they were interested in writing or had written, and they both had other fandoms that their remixers could (and did) choose.

See, you should have signed up!

I'm going to have to ask around QaF about why no one participated. That's just so odd. I do think it is a rather small fandom (with a big, wanky mouth) but there are plenty of good authors who'd have a good time with this challenge.

I always want to do it, but then I end up not. For oh so many reasons. One being that challenges make me insane and I always feel like I gipped someone. But, mostly, I just always seem to get all anti-fandom around the time of this particular challenge.

Have you gotten any feedback on your story out of it yet?

[oiran.livejournal.com]

anti-fandom headspace: Yeah, I get that. I had such a hard time writing the last SV story that I wrote - which was for a challenge - and I hated it so much, I never posted it anywhere but the challenge journal, and it's certainly not going on my site. I was just so sick of SV - the quality of the show, the constant intrafandom bickering, the desire for happy!fic that I can't seem to write any more - that it was just a hateful experience. But the story got recced by a few people, so it was probably okay, even though I certainly wasn't by the time it was done.

As for this recent story, just a couple fb msgs, both positive, (including one from the recipient/remixee, whom I may have traumatized, unfortunately, and now I feel guilty). It's not a big fandom, so I'm not surprised it's got low readership. Also, it's certainly possible that people don't like it. I've been afraid to re-read it for some retarded reason, but I loved it when I sent it in, and I'm sure I'll love it still when I get my courage up to read it again.

I am surprised I'm not seeing people talk about or rec remix stories anywhere. I was in NYC last year when the stories were posted/authors announced, so I missed if there was any sort of multifandom squee happening then. I'm really annoyed on behalf of the person who remixed my story - I haven't seen any pimp posts except my own - and it's a kick-ass story! I am going to check the other f-list to see if there's anyone saying anything *at all* about any remix stories. Since I've been reading a bunch in various fandoms and have found much to love, I should just put together a rec post and stop waiting for someone else to do it.

Okay, so I'm an idiot. I must have missed some central post of yours, and because of this, I had no idea you had this journal. Until tonight, when I decided to friend back the bunch of people who have been on my "Also friend of" list for ages without me managing to get up the energy to look at their journals. And there you were! And I who've been wondering why you've been so quiet. *lol* Please tell me you haven't been mad at me for not friending you back - I would have done it instantly if I'd known.

[oiran.livejournal.com]

Aw, of course I'm not mad. I wanted to do this low-key and just let people discover this new person on their f-list when they got around to it. In other words, no announcement. There were way too many people I didn't know on the velvetglove list, and my long experiment in being open and not locking things that probably should have been locked just began to seem naive and possibly self-destructive. Nothing bad happened, but I didn't see the point in waiting for something nasty to occur before changing the way I was doing things. I'll still use velvetglove for posting stories and maybe some fannish stuff from time to time, but this will be my new home.

And, I should have e-mailed you long ago, but we certainly can talk about a site. I can apparently manage only one task at a time, and I've been a little frantic in recent weeks, but I think things are settling down and I can give the idea some attention now.
