My poor remixee is going to be the most remixed writer on LJ. Besides my disastrous first attempt, to be posted after the challenge, if I can, I have half a crack-fic, which I'd like to finish at some point, and now a proper draft of what I hope will be the full and final remix. All of these are remixes of different fics, of course.

My work is lying abandoned, the children are crying with hunger, and the cats have left home with their little spotted hankies containing dead mice and a spare collar. But the remix will be served... I am not doing this again, that's for sure! But my OH is making fajitas for dinner, so I'm feeling quite cheerful.

Current Mood: quixotic

You know I've been blabbering on about my remix? Well, disaster has struck. After reading some posts about the process I was a bit worried that it wouldn't qualify as a remix. So I got a third opinion, and apparently no, it won't. I've done all the unforgivable things, like introducing new ships, continuing the story and basically messing up big time. This is a real bummer, because I have so much work to do and my mother is dragging me away for three days at the very worst possible time. Anyway, I've had to start a new remix, which is at least a bit funnier... :/ But I'm totally pissed off with myself, actually.

Current Mood: crushed

In the spirit of positive experimentation, I briefly logged into my assigned remix sock-puppet journal, and it was quite a spooky experience. Rather like going for a walk in a ghost town. Yet a very BUSY ghost town. At least I've got some idea what to do, but I'm certainly not going there again till I'm ready to post the damn fic.

I managed to get both the user name and password wrong on my first try; not a very good omen, really. In fact I'm quite freaked out about the whole thing and worried that my fic isn't technically a proper remix. At least I have the option of withholding my name at the end. And now I'm not going to talk about it again. Ever.

Current Mood: dorky

( Under a cut, because I can... )

Well, my remix is beta'd and pretty well finished. It didn't turn out quite how I wanted, but at least it's THERE. I think I have about twenty versions on my hard drive, not to mention the six or so copies printed out so far. There's this weird thing where I took two copies but one has a word less than the other, and I can't find it -- the word, that is. Actually, it started off missing seven words, but I found the other six. Um...I really need to get a life.

Thanks to

reddwarfer, I know how to post, whenever I decide to get round to it, but what do we do about icons? Can we just nab one from the community, or do we have to import our own? This is a very complicated process, isn't it?

Next up is rs_games on LJ and IJ. I've got an idea for it, though it may not be right for the challenge. Not one single other person has chosen the same prompt as me, which makes me uneasy. What am I missing here?

This morning I got the assignment for my first ever remix! I was absolutely terrified that I'd sit staring blankly at the computer for the next week, but mercifully inspiration has hit, and I'm about two thirds of the way through my first draft. That doesn't mean much, though, because I'll probably change the whole thing at least six times before I'm happy with it. Still, it's a huge relief: I've been lying awake worrying about the remix.

I do have a problem with posting, which I'll probably take up on LJ. Not that I'm anywhere near there yet, but I'm not quite sure I understand the procedure. I certainly don't want to screw up a whole sockpuppet journal... :(

I'm also worried that whoever gets me will be fazed by the vast amount of fic available. I may think of it as a big sweetshop, but an outsider will probably be rather daunted. I just hope I'm assigned to someone on my list, who'll have an idea, however vague, of what's available. I should probably write a letter to my remixer, but will leave it for now.

Current Mood: creative

( Will this cut work? )

Current Mood: bouncy

Just testing. I know nobody, nobody knows me, and that's quite fun for a while, until I start getting paranoid about it.

Current Mood: curious
