i hear the voices when I'm dreaming

Authors are live, so I can talk about what I wrote yaaaay. Or at least link to it, because lazy.

Speaking of linking, I don't think I linked to the Madness gift I got:

I am Groot (the Lost Amongst the Idiots remix) (502 words) by misura
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Guardians of the Galaxy (Movies)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Groot (Marvel), Rocket Raccoon, Peter Quill, Drax the Destroyer
Summary: "So how'd the two of you meet, anyway?" Quill-the-Idiot asked.

Anyway. On to my fics!

No one even tried to guess what I wrote. Alas.

So I ended up writing three (!) fics -- my assignment and two pinch hits. All in different fandoms. And different levels of porniness, which amuses me greatly.

Taking Orders (the mirrorverse remix) (1548 words) by isabeau
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: James T. Kirk/Leonard McCoy
Additional Tags: mirrorverse, Remix, Remix Redux
Summary: Everyone knows that Bones is Kirk's boy. Everyone's wrong: Bones doesn't belong to Jim. Jim belongs to Bones.

^ porn. Porn is awesome. I was torn between this one and a different remix, but went with porn, because, uh, I could.

Drowning (the knowledge is not wisdom remix) (1272 words) by isabeau
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: X-Men: First Class (2011)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier
Additional Tags: Remix, Remix Redux
Summary: Erik has a tendency to drown, and Charles has a tendency to want to save him.

^ cherik all the way, yo. I intended to remix a different fic but got snagged by the metaphor.

A Whole New World (the jealousy remix) (1223 words) by isabeau
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Edmund Pevensie, Jadis
Additional Tags: girl!edmund, Genderswap
Summary: Edith's just the middle child. Which means being ignored for the most part, or being in trouble, or sometimes both at the same time. So when she's offered a chance to shine, she takes it.

^ Edmund's side of LWW has always fascinated me. Doing a genderswapped version was even more fascinating. (I am a strange creature, I know.)

I can't decide what story to wriiiiite, halp.

There are three stories that pinged me. One is less probable because it's a fandom I'd need canon refresh on, and that's not an insignificant task. The other two are fresher canon; one is friendship-focused and has strong emotional resonance for me right now, the other is straight-up porn.

Yargh.

Writing is hard, yo.

Defaulted on Remix. There's just no way I can get it done. Probably if I hadn't gotten sick I could have managed it, but ... yeah, not going to happen. I feel like crap for it though, and trying not to let myself slide into "I hate myself I am a horrible person".

*frowny face*

So, authors are now live yay. \o/

First, I have been utterly remiss in not mentioning the remixes I got for remix madness -- one a very lovely XMFC Charles/Erik, one a delightful remix of my only Inception fic -- so:

Admiring the View (Open Mouth Remix) (990 words) by pearl_o
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: X-Men: First Class (2011)
Rating: Mature
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier
Summary:

Charles doesn't love Erik for his appearance; it's just a very nice bonus.

Butterflies (The Fractal Mix) (671 words) by Eustacia Vye
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Inception (2010)
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Ariadne/Eames
Characters: Ariadne (Inception), Eames (Inception)
Summary:

If there's anything that Eames can't stand, it's being told that something is "good enough."

And, okay, fic what I wrote:

Need (the heat and light remix) (1042 words) by isabeau
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Trek (2009)
Rating: Mature
Warning: Rape/Non-Con
Relationships: James T. Kirk/Spock
Summary:

In which a mind meld doesn't have the desired effect, but other things do. Sort of.

I only have two comments, or, rather, (mostly rhetorical) questions:

1) Why is it that every time I do remix I get someone I know, someone who writes way better than I do; and

2) What *is* it with my muse wanting to do Star Trek (AOS) tentacle porn for remix?

...idek, you guys.

Remix Redux is open for business signups.

And yes, I signed up :D :D :D Never mind that I haven't written a word since end-of-year-fic-exchanges.

(The awesome: XMFC is an allowed fandom. The random: I discovered, while trolling through some of my older fics, that I had enough LotR drabbles to probably bump it up into being eligible. The suck: I still don't qualify in Star Trek (AOS), because while I have almost doubled my number of published ST stories, the four new ones, as much as I love them, are all remixes, and I either need two more 100+ fics or one more 500+ one and I haven't written anything non-remixy in ST for a year and a half.)

I am dithering on whether to put [redacted] as my safe story. It's got some very personal elements to it, but if handled well I wouldn't mind the chance to see another person's spin on it. If handled well. But the chances of that story being picked for remix anyway are fairly small. And I feel weird for designating it as a safe story because I don't broadcast just how personal it is.

Sigh.
