[Rec] "Loving Bonds (The Dark Night of the Soul Remix)" -- The Dark Is Rising

[edenfalling]

Look! This is what someone wrote using my story as a starting point!

Loving Bonds (The Dark Night of the Soul Remix): Sometimes all you have is faith, hope, and love. Sometimes faith and hope fail you, but love never does. [ETA: by ishafel aka ishafel... who ironically enough already remixed me once a couple years ago]

It is a remix of Loving Bonds, a Dark Is Rising fic I wrote for Yuletide in 2009. Mine is primarily about why Blodwen Rowlands allowed Bran to remain in the 20th century as an infant, and secondarily about the Rowlands' marriage. The remix is primarily about the Rowlands' marriage, only from John's POV, and it is AMAZING. Also bleak and hopeful, by turns, and beautiful all the way through.

Go read it and tell the mystery author how awesome ze is!

Apparently I have been a good Liz this year, because in addition to my assigned Remix I have received a Remix Madness story. It is making me itch with curiosity as I wonder what story it's based on. Why isn't it tomorrow evening already? *gnashes teeth in frustration*

And in yet more Remix news, I wrote a Madness fic myself tonight just for the fun of it. I think I will stop there, though, because I need to get some sleep tonight or work will be impossible on Monday.

Remix! YEAH! You almost had 2 Remix madness fics, but alas time got away from me. I'll try to finish it at some point -- maybe next year, heh.

[edenfalling]

Oh, neat! If the story pans out, I will look forward to seeing it whenever!

I thought seriously about trying to remix your Lucy and Eustace with DRAGONS! fic, but alas, I only got around to contemplating Madness fic options on Sunday and that was not enough time to do the thing properly. :-(

Awww. I started Little Sister from the point of view of the snake. I figure a snake, for all that it is cold blooded, probably didn't like being around cold Jadis. Next year!!!

[edenfalling]

Well, cold-blooded creatures tend to seek warm, sunny places to bask and warm themselves up, so yeah, Jadis must have been an odd caretaker for the snake, even without getting into the magical transformation stuff. :-)

I love that fic! (Your orgininal, I mean). I must go read this remix!

[edenfalling]

Yes, yes, read the remix! It's wonderful!
