Thank you,
nessa_owen! What a lovely remix mine was. It took what was basically a PWP and gave it a nice level of depth, using Lily's point of view; If It's Us is a threesome fic, Sirius/James/Remus, in which Remus and Sirius, already a couple, offer James the chance for a little relief from his sexual frustration now that Lily is pregnant. Lily's POV is both poignant, eye-opening, and at the same time amused. I love it.
You can find
nessa_owen's remix of If It's Us here: Complications (The Pregnant Pause Remix), and you should give her feedback. :D
My own remix of
cupiscent's Mortified may be found here: Patient (The Gritty Comic Remix). It twists the fic, centred on the relationship between John Constantine and Gabriel, out of its movie-based canon and replants it in the comic book canon for the same characters. Patient refers to what is, for me, the major shift between the two fics: in the original, Gabriel is building a house of cards, "playing God" as John says; in the remix, Gabriel's game of choice is Patience (more commonly known as Solitaire).
I also remixed
castaliae's Philosophy, which may be found here: Filios Eros (The Socrates Remix). I fell in love with this fic for its interesting and original take on the Order of the Phoenix, and mischeviously made it Lupin/McGonagall, though there's nothing graphic. The title derives from two of the three Greek forms of love: Eros, Filios, and Agape (Romantic/Erotic, Brotherly, and Spiritual/Philosophical). It is the Socrates remix because -- well, Socrates questioned everything.
Also, names have now been put to fics over at
fanfic_in_jest, where you may find, among others, my remix of
musesfool's fic Caesar's Wife here: Germanicus and Piso (The Caesar's Daughter Was A Whore Remix). Germanicus and Piso were contenders for the crown of the Roman Empire during a crucial turning point in Rome's history; it is widely believed that Piso killed Germanicus, who would have been a splendid Emperor. The remix title comes from a reference to the early Caesars -- the expression "Caesar's wife must be above reproach", from which the original title derives, is mocked in the reminder that Augustus Caesar's daughter was considered a whore and a disgrace.
Congrats to all the remixers and remixees. See you next year, if
musesfool is still mad enough to do one. *grins*
