beatrice_otter: Giles says "The subtext is rapidly becoming ... text" (Subtext)
I just got a review of one of my stories on Twisting the Hellmouth!

Back in the days of single-fandom archives, TTH was a big deal. It was a Buffyverse archive ... devoted to crossovers. They accepted single-fandom works, and they even accepted single-fandom works in other fandoms than Buffyverse, but you had to have one Buffy fic or Buffy crossover for every non-Buffy fic. I was never a huge fan of the Buffyverse--I enjoy it, but it was never a major part of my fannish life--but I love crossovers. A number of my early Buffy fics were written so I could put my non-Buffy fics there. And then of course [personal profile] jedibuttercup ran a TTH drabble challenge community on LJ and later DW: [community profile] tthdrabbles 

But man, it's been a lot of years since I stopped reading and posting fic there.

beatrice_otter: Giles says "The subtext is rapidly becoming ... text" (Subtext)
The Remix is over and the authors are revealed! I wrote a fic for [personal profile] secondalto, a Buffyverse fic set in season 7, focusing on a Potential.

Title: First Dream (The Readiness Remix)
Characters: a Potential, Giles, the Coven
Pairing: none
Rating: PG
Warnings: none
Original Story: Packed and Ready to Go, by [livejournal.com profile] secondalto  for remix 11
Betaed By: [livejournal.com profile] lanalucy  and [livejournal.com profile] malnpudl 
Word Count:  1806

Summary: A Potential shouldn’t dream a Slayer dream. But these are not ordinary times.

At AO3

Jenna sat bolt upright in bed, afterimages of dead girls and cloaked figures with no eyes burned into her brain. That was a Slayer dream. )
beatrice_otter: Elizabeth Bennet reads (Reading)
[livejournal.com profile] rarewomen is open, and there are a lot of great fics from a lot of great authors!  Here are some of my faves:

BSG
Free To Choose.  Her memories define who she is, her choices define who she will be.  (Sharon Agathon)

Buffy
As a Queen, Sufficient.  Kendra, debriefing after her first trip to Sunnydale.

Discworld
A Ladies' Day Out.  The impact of unregulated collection on the draconic biodiversity of the greater Ankh-Morpork region by Vimes (née Ramkin), S. Presented to the Ankh-Morpork Dragon Fanciers Society, Grune, Year of the Reversed Ptarmigan.  Hypothesis: poachers can be firmly deterred by a gumboot to the ear and some stern words, by Jove.  (Sybil Ramkin, the Emmas, Sacharissa Cripslock)

Doctor Who
Human Behavior.  The TARDIS learned a lot from her time in a human body; that doesn't mean she knows how to put a human together again.  (Idris, Tardis)
Cold Hands, Warm Heart.  Jenny finds a Silurian warrior behind the house. Then she puts the kettle on.  One of the Jenny&Vastra stories I have been craving.

Star Trek TNG
Shadow-walking.  Ro Laren and Deanna Troi undertake a secret mission on a matriarchal world.

Vorkosigan Saga
Five Strays Elizabeth Naismith took in (and One That Got Away).  Dear Cordelia, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that Miles is a charming and intelligent young man; I've been enjoying his company immensely. He's made plenty of friends, and taken to the social opportunities at school with a great deal of verve. (For more details, please see the attached disciplinary reports from Principal Hatter.)

X-Men First Class
A Piece of Her Mind.  Agent MacTaggert really shouldn't be in this cocktail bar. And she really shouldn't be talking to two wanted criminals. But they seem to think there's a way for her to get back the memories she'd lost the previous year, and she can't help but listen.  (Moira, Angel, Mystique)

Remix Recs

Apr. 23rd, 2012 08:43 am
beatrice_otter: DS9 wormhole (DS9)
The main Remix just went live, and here are some recs.

First off, the story written for me is awesome, you should all read it.  What You Know (The Devil in the Details Remix) is a Deep Space 9 story about the whole Sisko family dealing with the knowledge of what the Prophets did to ensure that Benjamin Sisko was born.  A very haunting look at the things the show didn't consider which takes my story and amps it to the next level.

Buffy
One Who Lights the Darkness (The Bedtime Story Remix) When you're the slayer, what do you do when there's a monster under your bed?  Remix of 5 Scoobies Who Didn't Curse The Darkness And On Who Lit A Candle.  I love the different reactions to monsters and beds. On its own, it is a great remix. It's also a great remix concept, taking the whole Scoobies-at-night idea and giving it a twist.

Avengers
The Captain and the Man of Iron, a Saga by Thor Odinsson, beta by Loki Laufeyjarson (Steve Rogers Must Die: the In Tony Stark’s Arms Mix) The title says it all.

Buffy/Doctor Who
Watching the Watchers (the Oncoming Storm Remix) Ethan Rayne and the 9th Doctor.  A storm, a Doctor, and a judicious application of chaos.

Harry Potter
About Her (Candlelight Mix) .  Luna had always taken a shine to fantastic things, and Cho definitely counts as one of the most fantastic.  I love the way the author writes an adult Luna, it's just pitch-perfect.

Stargate SG-1
The First Rule of Anthropology (The Missed Chances Remix).  Nine years after Daniel leaves the SGC, the Stargate goes public.

Star Trek
Second Star to the Right (The Chartered Remix) Spock was drowning and Nyota didn't know how to save him.

X-Men movieverse
Homeschooling for Mutants (a Midnight's Child Remix).  Magneto sets Pyro a reading assignment. Unlike past literature assignments, it turns out to be relevant to his interests.  I love the way the author shows us the power of literature, and why all these people are doing what they do.
beatrice_otter: Uhura and Uhura Prime (Too awesome for one timeline)
First, it's the Where No Woman New Year Exchange:

Five Times Gaila and Sulu Saved Each Other.  Because Gaila and Sulu are awesome by themselves, and even more awesome together.  Even tough, independent people need saving once in awhile. Gaila and Sulu save each other from fears and insecurities, tarantulas and Starfleet ration bars, failed simulations and lost promotions. And space pirates. Twice.

1,023 Days On Earth.  What Guinan did on Earth the first time she was there (backstory for Time's Arrow I & II).  Ever wonder how Guinan got to be on a pre-space Earth?  A Black woman (or, at least, a woman who looked Black), in the late 19th Century, the toast of the town?  This is her story.  Well told, and a believable perspective for a young Guinan.

This next one isn't part of the exchange, but could easily have been.
Home.  Set between TNG and DS9. Miles and Keiko bring Molly to Japan for Shichi Go San, and to meet her grandparents.  Keiko was an interesting character, but we seldom saw any more of her than The Wife or The Mother or The Schoolteacher, and even then the focus was mainly on how Miles or the station was impacted rather than on her for herself.  This fic delves a little deeper into her perspective on her life and her choices and her relationships.  It's quiet and introspective and real and I enjoyed it.

And then one non-Star Trek fic, this one Buffy the Vampire Slayer, post-series.
Demon's HolidayAnd then he noticed a short older man in a taupe suit and eyeglasses walking into a shop that sold cheese. It's the cheese guy!

AN:
Yes, I know there’s a difference between English accents and Welsh accents, and in fact many different kinds of accents in the British Isles, but Buffy doesn’t.

 

 

beatrice_otter: BSG's Six with red Cylon eyes (Six)
Go check out all the lovely stories in [livejournal.com profile] remixredux08. Here is part one of my list of recs:

Desert Glass (Ordinary Time remix). In his years on Tatooine, Obi-Wan finds he has a lot to learn. Lyric, painful, but full of life.

Lucid Diamond Sky (the Misogynistic Lash cut-up). Two's company, three's a crowd. Doctor Who, the Master/Lucy.

More of the Stars and Sea (The Three Meals Remix). Stargate: Atlantis, Teyla and Radek. They were merely colleagues who dined together from time to time. Strangers on the cusp of becoming friends.

Copper and Moonlight (The Mimi & Rodolfo Remix). B:tVS, a beautiful, heartbreaking look at Giles after Becoming.

She Bangs the Drums (Losing, Losing, Lost Remix). Doctor Who, the year that wasn't. Lucy's tragedy is that she loves him.

Reverb (Three Toasters, One Dead Body, and Ellen Tigh Walk into a Bar Remix). BSG, written for me! Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl. Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl. Spoilers for Crossroads II.

I Have Become (Death) (The J.Robert Oppenheimer Remix). Babylon 5, Lyta Alexander and the Telepath War. You never forget your first. Or your last. Lyta Alexander would know.

Hush-A-Bye Baby (The Blackberry Remix). BtVS, Dawn and Drusilla. At night, the dark-haired girl without a name glowed at her through eddies of green light.

Enemies & Friends (The “Ogron, Ogron, Ogron” Remix). Sarah Jane Adventures/Doctor Who. In which there are Ogrons and Sarah Jane Smith struggles to figure out what the hell is going on. Starring Sarah Jane Smith, Vislor Turlough, Luke Smith, Maria Jackson, Clyde Langer, K9 Mark IV, Mister Smith, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright, Ianto Jones, Jack Harkness, Ace, Chrissie Jackson and Lots And Lots Of Ogrons.

The Art of Memory (Bold and Lonely Remix). Doctor Who. The Doctor's a hard man to forget.

Five Pay Phones Buffy Almost Called Giles From. BtVS, the summer she ran away.

Some Mother's Son (The A-Z Remix). Stargate: Atlantis, pre-series. Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.

The Great Bikini Incident (The Key to Time Remix). Doctor Who/BtVS. Dawn’s suspicious of the three electricity inspectors outside her sister’s Rome apartment.

Notes: ends during the TNG episode The Child, in which an alien energy being impregnates Counselor Troi.



All mortals, including Dawn Summers, die eventually. The Key is not mortal.

When its shell dies, the Key wanders the universe, reconnecting with others of its own kind. The Key remembers the joys of life spent dancing among stars, galaxies, universes, the fabric of existence laid out before it.

The Key forgets demons and hellgods, vampires and slayers, faces of loved ones. Flesh does not matter to energy.

But at last, it stumbles across a metal container full of air called Enterprise, full of mortals. It remembers a thing called “home” and thinks, perhaps I’ll be a boy, this time.
