Remix Rollcall

[deelaundry]

I'm not here. At all.

I'm... sleeping? Yes, sleeping.

Anyway, REMIX SIGN-UPS ARE OPEN, and I'm eager to see who's participating. Give me a shout if you are.

jadesfire2808's going to pinch-hit. Gen fen, represent!

I signed up. Like most exchanges, I expect I'll be more satisfied with what I give out rather than what I get.

[thedeadparrot.livejournal.com]

Fuck yeah, I'm so there.

[sabinetzin]

I signed up, as per usual. Remix pleases me in my soul.

[perspi.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I want to do it! I am thinking I could maybe do one fandom-y challenge this summer, as a way of keeping myself sane in the midst of all the other big changes/projects I'm doing this summer, so--Remix? McShep Match?

*runs around in circles* AAAAAH!

[mer-duff.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking about it this year, but I only really write gen, and I only really write Wilson, and the userinfo is gently dissuasive in situations like that. And I'd hate to disappoint whoever got me if I can't do their characters justice. And I'm making a lot of excuses :)

I was just talking about that tonight! Signed up as soon as I saw the post, natch.

me: *nods* I just love the writing of it. I don't have words. The...
me: It's respecting someone else's story, for me.
me: I mean, not everyone's going to feel the same, obvs.
me: But I think of it as...paying homage to what someone else has created.
me: Highlighting the parts you loved about it; showing, through fic, the kind of emotional response you had to it as a story.

In short, uh. YUP I'M IN.

Mmm I thought about it after my experience with Green but, as they don't guarantee pairings, I really don't think I can. I'm a one trick pony with my H/W!

[little-missmimi.livejournal.com]

I signed up -- my first time!

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

Maybe there should be a House remix, with pairings matched up... I suppose there wouldn't be enough interest though.

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

*dons beta hat ready for duty*

XD

(Is your 'safe' story the same one as last year? I kept meaning to ask you why that one and never got round to it :D )

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Glad you'll be involved! Although the writing part is already a big part of the enjoyment, I hope this time you'll receive a story you like too.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Woo hoo!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

AWESOME! \o/

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Remix is only one story!

Wait, is McShep Match only one story too? Hmm...

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

You only write gen, but you read slash and het, so that should be fine. You focus on Wilson, but your characterization of House and Cuddy is consistently excellent. You've also written Taub POV for the most recent Burns Day fic, and I adored that.

If you got, say, a House/Cameron-only writer and didn't think you could write Cameron POV, you could always write Wilson's take on the events in the story, because as House's best friend he'd be likely to get all the scoop. As long as you're respectful of the characters -- which you always are -- that could be very interesting for the author.

And I would say all this even if I wasn't squeeing my heart out that you might get matched to me. :D

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I agree wholeheartedly with you! \o/

I am also grinning because the way you cut-and-pasted makes it look like you were talking to yourself.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

You're likely to get matched with someone who has House/Wilson fics, but not certain, so... yeah.

I would love to have you remix another fic of mine, if you ever get the urge! You could also post an offer on your LJ, to see if others were interested in having you remix a fic of theirs -- could tell them you'd pick one person at random.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Good show! It's very, very fun. Have you seen some of the remixed fics from past years?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

\o/

Yes, my safe story is the same. I kept it safe because, embarrassingly, that's the one I can most easily see the show actually using. Not that the show ever would but I like to keep the (impossible) possibility open.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Pen was planning on running one, but I never heard what came of that.

[hwshipper.livejournal.com]

You're very kind, I will bear that in mind, thank-you :) And ditto if you ever wanted to remix anything of mine - nobody's ever done that before.

[jadesfire.livejournal.com]

*g* I think Gen fen are definitely put off by the 'you might get a PWP' thing - it's fine if you're a wide reader, but if you're not? *shrugs* Given my fandoms, I'd probably end up with something I couldn't work with (Sheppard/McKay, Jack/Ianto), so pinch-hitting is nice and safe and if I'm still up to my elbows in Big Bangs, I haven't over-committed myself!

Looking forward to it :D

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

*goes into happy dream*

I would kill for that to get into the show. Maybe a House hallucination...

ETA: I'm particularly fond of it anyway since it's the one that resulted in me betaing for you <3

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

I'd be willing to beta in either case.

Also, I think I might PM Pen and see if she still wants to do it. I have a bit of an urge to organise one.

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

I just searched for house_remix and there's a comm there, which is (newly) 'under construction', so it looks as though there might be a chance of choosing one pairing/doing gen-only/whatever might be possible.

Also, it appears that there isn't a minimum number of fics that you have to have written for entry (I may be wrong, I just skimmed, plus they haven't finished getting started yet) so that would be good for people like me who don't write that much.

[little-missmimi.livejournal.com]

Not really, they're sort of hard to find.

[topaz-eyes.livejournal.com]

(sorry to butt in, Dee...)

Remix 4: http://remix.illuminatedtext.com/dbsearch.php?search=fandom&var=63&var2=House

Remix 5: http://community.livejournal.com/remix_redux/tag/fandom:+house

Remix 6: http://community.livejournal.com/remixredux08/tag/fandom:+house+md

Edited to add: House fandom started participating in Remix 4.

[topaz-eyes.livejournal.com]

I'm... working. Yeah, that's it.

I signed up. Can't believe we're at #7 already.

[topaz-eyes.livejournal.com]

You'd qualify for House fandom, but you don't need to write in House at all. If you find a story you want to remix in another fandom, say Torchwood, you can do it. Or if the writer has a lot of drabbles--those may be easiest. I've remixed a full-length story, a ficlet and a drabble.

If there are pairings, you do need to keep the pairing, but you can change it to gen.

Aaaaand, I'll stop spamming Dee's LJ now.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Not spamming! Encouragement of people to sign up is not spamming!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thank you for butting in, because you saved me the work of finding the links for littlemissmimi. Thanks!!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I can definitely see how Gen fen would find it problematic. My friend hwshipper has a problem, too, because she's one-ship-only.

Pinch-hitting does seem safer; go you!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

\o/

So fun!

[mer-duff.livejournal.com]

Ha! Twist my rubber arm. Actually, I wouldn't mind writing a House/Cameron fic, just as long as they don't have to be too happy...

And I'll pretend Zulu was talking to me as well, because, word! Such a great opportunity to pay homage to someone else's work - though terrying, too.

And I squee right back at you, because I know you would write the most amazing remix!

[little-missmimi.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
