pensnestAmidst a tumble of dragons and Gilbert and Sullivan, I should probably update.
DWTS. *sigh* I wasn't surprised, particularly since I had a dream this morning of meeting a despondent Joey in a bar and taking him to someone's oddly cubist flat where various LJers (wish I could remember who!) tried to console him until he walked sadly home. I sorta expected Apolo and Julianne to win. But what a shame. And now I have no dancing Joey to look forward to on Tuesday mornings. But I have files which fill me with delight. My favourites were the second Jive (wow!) and the first Foxtrot (magic!), but I love them all. Thank you,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

ManBand is July, isn't it?
And then there was Remix. As those of you are interested have presumably already discovered, I was assigned Topaz to remix, and wrote World Tour (the Let's Go By Vegas mix), which was a lot of fun (and which, cunningly, got me out of writing the sex scenes, heh). I hope I've thanked those of you who sent me feedback. :-) I know I didn't get to all the stories - still haven't, too busy - but I managed to comment to a few. It's a shame to think that Remix 'traditionally' doesn't get much response in the way of feedback for the authors, and I'm not really sure why that should be, especially these days when we don't have the luxury of quality fresh fic popping up every day. It takes as much effort to produce a good Remix as to produce a first-generation story.
I've seen many interesting and thoughtful posts about how people figured out how to do their remix, and what kind of thing they may have been aiming for... in my case, I'm afraid it's really quite simple. I had My Brilliant Idea (Ooh! I'd love to see a story from the bodyguard's perspective. Hmm... I should write a story from the bodyguard's POV. And five minutes later, Wouldn't that be a cool idea for my remix!!) in the car somewhere on the M25, withturloughishere, and was completely delighted to find that one of my victim's stories would actually work really well this way.
And as it happens, my Beast and I are indulging ourselves with a trip to Disneyworld in October, so I had The Unofficial Guide - and several Disney websites - close at hand. Seldom has research been so easy.
Also, yay for serendipity and a chance to meet!
Anyone else going to be in Disneyworld in the first half of October?
