not too short for a stormtrooper

So Remix fics are out. myopia, and how the present takes hold (a remix from lightyears away) is a remix of taking cue (past holds on). The original was a Kara-centric, slightly KaraandBoomerish piece. The remix is set over the time period, but weaves Leoben into the story in this amazing way. At first I was surprised, I don't think I've ever used Leoben as a character, but as I read I was delighted with Leoben's characterisation, with the way he was written and the way the story unfurls. So I guess the summary is, I am delighted with the remix that has been written, and you should all go read it, even if you don't like Leoben. Seriously.

I did a very quick run through this morning, as I was trying to work up the motivation to write my essay. I wish I'd worked up the motivation earlier - I went to look for my notes I made from a text which is pivotal to my essay, and let's just say it's not anywhere to be found so now I have to go to the library. ANYWAY, here are some recs that I would like to make:

By Any Other Name (The Fool’s Paradise Remix) . This is a piece about Raven, picking up the pieces after, and waiting. Also, reading it makes me wants to write more fic based after X3, and I haven't had that feeling in an absolute age.

Unconscious, as some human lovers are (Sympathetic Resonance), primarily features Percy Shelley and Death being awesome, and of course Aziraphale and Crowley.

Normal (The Quintessential Question Remix), Violet Baudelaire. This piece is fairly explicitly incesty, so that's your warning, but the tone of the piece is very Lemony Snicket, and was quite a delight to read.

Functions, Forms (Keep The Customer Satisfied remix) is Tia Dalma and Will Turner, and it is Will's acknowledgment and Calypso, weaving as she is. And now I want to see more of this Will, after he has the knowledge of the sea within him.

When reading for Remix, I like to read the remix first, and then read the original fic. It makes a nice comparison, to see what is reflection and what is more, and I think it enhances the experience.

And remember to leave feedback, hokay? I still don't have feedback on the fic I wrote, from anyone, and I'm all aaaaarghhhh was it terrible etc.

I wish someone had written a Dune remix, or a Pretender remix, for anyone, not just me. I've never seen a remix for either of those fandoms, and I think that would be delightful.

All Messed Up (in a trusted wreck) by Pen
Pirates of the Caribbean, Norrington(/Anamaria), rated PG

Thanks to piecesofalice for the beta, and to an unstoppable army of lizzens for the plot developments many months ago.

This is for Dee.

i am awash in a sea of love for anamaria. if anyone knows of any awesome
anamaria fic, they should point me in the general direction!

alternatively, feel free to drop and give me one hundred words of
anamaria/norrington set any time post potc: curse of the black pearl (this
includes being set post dead man's chest omg).

this was brought on by mala, who wrote anamaria/norrington
(spoilers for dmc) today and aadlfkjdff.

i hope html works from email posts. my apologies if it doesn't.

Yesterday I said (over here)Reply to this post using an icon in a fandom you know I write for, and I'll write a ficlet based on it for you.

So I present some drabbles.

icon ( safety rule number one - 100 words for ely709 [bsg. kara] )

icon ( never gets easy - 100 words for ilanabean42 [bsg. lee] )

icon ( hell bent for leather - 100 words for scribbling_elf [hp. sirius] )

icon ( grown like a lion - 100 words for sajee [hp. ginny] )

icon ( not the disease - 100 words for Sloane [svu. olivia] )

icon ( come out and play - 100 words for dee [potc. jack] )

icon ( Wet Starbuck - 200 words for wildtiger7 [bsg. lee] )

I'm kind of glad nobody used a Captain Commando icon.
