Remix Redux stories posted!!!
Mar. 26th, 2006 05:56 pmThe Remix Redux stories have been posted. I can't point you to mine, yet, but it's there. Somewhere. If you feel like playing guessing games, do tell me which one you think I wrote. :-)
In the meantime, I can point you to the remix someone did of one of my stories. My remixer has taken Seeds (my kinda-sorta-maybe-a-little-pre-slash thing with Draco, Harry, and an acorn, written just after I got a livejournal, so most of you people have never seen it) and somehow pulled Lesson Number Two (The Open My Eyes Remix) out of his/her/its hat. "Lesson Number Two" takes my short, bare-bones scenario and spins it out, answering, among other things, the questions of what Draco was doing in the forest in the first place, what the flipping heck Harry was thinking, and what might have happened afterward. Still no sex, though. ;-)
And! And it has Remus Lupin in it, which is both mad cool and kind of ironic, since I remember saying at the start of the remix project that I'd just realized I had never managed to properly write Lupin into a story. And here he is, and present and serving a rational purpose in the story! *Liz takes a moment to admire Remus*
I'm a little iffy about some of the phrasings -- the remix leans a touch toward melodrama, which feels odd to me since the original story is, as I said, very bare-bones -- but hey, different authors, different styles, de gustibus non est disputandem, etcetera, etcetera. I really like the elaboration of the three options Harry gives Draco, I like Draco's vague, only half-articulated attraction to Harry, and I am just tickled pink that someone found all this stuff implied in or inspired by my story.
