Remix Recs

[sevendeadlyfun]

The remix archive went live last night. Since they've move it over to AO3, I wasn't sure how many of my flisties were persuing the awesome fics that came out of this remix. So here are at least two remixes that I enjoyed readaing.

Naked (The Wishing You Were Here Remix) is a Dawn-centric remix of my story Segue, a Xander/Dawn comics canon fic based on the prompt of awkward sex. What's most interesting to me is how the writer transferred the feelings of awkwardness from Xander to Dawn. Rather than the cool, collected take-charge Dawn that I wrote, this Dawn is nervous, almost anxious, about Xander's feelings for her and it makes their fumbling relationship even more endearing, if that's possible. My story was emphatically Xander-centric and I love this perspective change.


The second one that I really enjoyed was Taken Over (Stunned Silent Remix), a remix of liz_marcs story All Yours. It's a powerful, painful look at the inside of Faith's head, during her stay in Buffy's body. The story encapsulates Faith's sexual and personal self-loathing, exposing her character in some very raw and real ways. I didn't write it (in case you're wondering) but I love it like a thing that is loved.

As always, leave some love the great (if currently anonymous) remix authors in our fandom if you go over. And if you can guess which one I wrote (and you aren't anxiety_junkie who has a story in the works just for her anyways), I'll be happy to write you a little something based on pairing and prompt.

And even if you don't guess, my remix will be posted over here after the big reveal. But, until then, go! Read! Comment!

Now that I finally cleared that chapter of Ashes from my desk, I'm going to start on that Angel and Wes one you suggested. Yes? Or is that not what you wanted?

Oh, yeah! Hee!
