Dude! Remix is live as of like 20 seconds ago and

my story already has comments! *boggles* Oh, this is a happy Lorraine. Guess which story is mine!!!!!!! I WILL GIVE TO ANYONE WHO CORRECTLY GUESSES MY STORY AT LEAST A DRABBLE IN THE FANDOM AND PAIRING OF HIR CHOICE (PROVIDED IT APPEARS ON MY FANFIC MASTERLIST). Hint: the story is in a fandom that appears on my masterlist, so something I've written before.

Also! I got a second interview. Interview at Waycross is on Friday and on the way home I will interview at Middle Georgie on Monday.

*bounce*

Y'all. The glee. I'm gonna have a job. I really, really am.

My mother in law came today and she bought me an interview outfit that is quite fetching and some jewelry and this yellow purse that kicks the ass of all purses worldwide.

I just. Y'all. Lyr and Exec and Sue and Nina and gah. All of you. Thank you so much. I don't think I tell you guys enough how truly grateful I am for you and I am. I so so so am. You are the wind beneath my wings lift me up where I belong are all so dear.

*hugs you all so tight*

Remix Recs

I've been through the Remix comm (and wow did I not realize that Remix was so huge!) and clicked on everything I thought might appeal, but as there are so many entries and I got eye-swimmy trying to navigate through them all, I know I missed something or several. Which is why I can't wait for the reveal, because then I'll know what you guys wrote if I missed it. (Well, that and I can finally post the first rule-breaky remix story I wrote.)

Four times Sam leaves and one that he stays (Heading toward the light remix) SPN; gen; PG-13
This is the remix of my fic, "Four Times Dean Watched Sam Die (and one that he didn't)," and I absolutely love it. My fic consists of four drabbles and a sentence. It isn't long at all and there is so much room to play around with what I wrote. All the drabbles are from Dean's POV and my remixer opened that up and wrote each vignette from a different perspective. The way s/he rewrites the first section in particular affects me in the sobby way you all know I love so well. What's interesting to me is the way that the third drabble remains consistent between both stories, like an anchor, and that the opening and ending sections veer away from the original. One section in this fic is drastically different from the way I'd envisioned it when I was writing it (the funeral scene), but I really love that my remixer took things in a direction I hadn't anticipated. Thank you, unnanmed Remixer, for doing such awesome things with my story.

I'm Just a Bill (the Right to Remain Rough 'n Ready Remix) SPN; John/Dean and implied Sam/Dean; parental incest; Adult
Holy freaking crap. *swallows* This is a piece of sheer genius here. The language is fantastically, gloriously sharp; read too deeply and you will get cut, my dears. I had my heart in my throat the entire read. Even if daddycest is not your bag, this is exquisite. Dean's are Mary's eyes plus a toothache. I mean, damn, that's some good shit.

Breathe on Sister (They Pass Me By Remix) SPN; Henricksen; PG
I love Henricksen's character; I love that even before he gets all intimate with a cloud of black smoke, the man knows that the pieces of the Winchester puzzle do not add up to the picture he wants so desperately to believe. The fic is about those slivers of doubt.

Non Sequitur (the Keep the Car Running Remix) SPN; Sam/Dean; R
Oh dear lord is there a thing that Lorraine loves more than a Sammy standing at the crossroads and taking charge? Dean's interior monologue is perfect and his perceptions of Sam are all the reasons I love this fandom. I cannot imagine you being disappointed by this read.

Pegasus Literature 101 (Pass/Fail Remix) SGA; McShep; PG-13
Speaking of genius, take a look at this one, folks. I am so insanely jealous that this is not the piece I wrote. LOL For most of the remixes, I have not gone and read the original story; I've been reading the remixes as standalones, which yes, is made entirely of fail, as I know that's not what this exercise is about. The pieces work in concert. But, *flails* I am so busy right now that I just can't. This piece really makes me want to read the original to see just how the two stories work together. The Atlantis expedition bonds over the Great Books of Pegasus and it kicks ass.

And a handful more anon. HLOTS calls.

(Also, still getting feedback. *boggles* Yay!)

And the rest of those Remix recs

Shifting Reality (Best Imitation of Myself Remix) SGA; McShep; Adult
This is meta fic at its finest; this is who we are and what we do as fans distilled into this version of John Sheppard. These are the characters that we strip away to their very bones just to see what makes them tick. These are the characters that we move like pieces in a chess game, sometimes sweeping the board with one hand and playing a different game entirely. And this story--this story is something like the fallout. (Some of my tutoring students recently read "Six Characters in Search of an Author" and this piece reminds me muchly of that.)

Stitches and Scars (the Sewn Up Tight Remix) SPN; Sam/Dean; PG
The premise of this story is very simple: Sam gets hurt on a hunt and it kinda freaks Dean's shit out. But the depths of this piece are belied by that simple description. The dialogue feels warm and real to me and the progression of their feelings for each other very organic. I love seeing Sam through Dean's eyes--the utter joy he can feel at the tiniest things Sam does or says--but what I love even more is when little brother steps up to the plate and lets us see just what he thinks of Dean.

The ACME Judgment Company (Uncloseted Remix) M*A*S*H; Hawkeye/BJ; Hawkeye/F; Adult
I did not have to wait for Yuletide for M*A*S*H fic! Yay! This is so very well done. I love the outside perspective on Hawkeye and BJ and the unit at large. Really excellent read.
