Remix, the reveal

[pensnest]

Well, the Remix authors are up, so I get to say a big thank-you to Aeiouna (aka linear_flower for writing mine. It's an expansion of my Dragon Challenge ficlet about Nick and Brian (and dwarves), and works very well to say more than I did about their relationship.

I wrote - and this will come as no surprise to anyone - As You Like I Love You (being the First Part of The History of Justin Timberlake), a remix of zvi's That Thing We Do story set in baby!Sync days when the boys were being turned down by BMG.

I do feel a bit guilty about remixing a popslash story when clearly the author has moved on to other fandoms, but then, popslash is what I *do*, so. I don't think I'm ever going to come up with quite the inspiration of "telling it to the prison psychiatrist" again, so I kept with my usual remix policy of sticking pretty closely to the original story. I like the added absurdity of presenting it in blank verse. I don't think I had anything very profound to say, about the source story or anything else, though.

There was also her own name, inspired by Juliette's Folly; it's a Leverage story, and zvi's original is so poetic I couldn't resist turning it into a sonnet, as a sort of bonus remix. Of course, this could have been a Remix Madness thing, but I'd already submitted it for the original challenge, so it wasn't.

You are obviously so very awesome. I loved the mixture of poetry and regular English! :D

Thank you! I do enjoy a bit of blank verse now and again, and it's fun to do it for popslash, where I don't have to keep a 'high' tone.
