Remix reveals!

remixredux09 reveals are up! (Or going up, depending on time zones and when people get around to logging in.) I can't wait to see who wrote the remix of my fic - I'm trying hard to restrain myself from refreshing every five minutes to see if they've edited their post yet :)

I honestly have no idea if this is a surprise or not, but I wrote:

So, yeah. I'm pretty sure the title gives away the fact that it's completely crack, but if it doesn't, the summary should. Honestly, I didn't mean to title it that, but once it popped into my head, I couldn't not. (And in case there are people out there who haven't seen it - the horror! - Dragon Wars: D-War is an actual film. Which I love, despite it being ... well. mojotastic picspammed it here, and even if you have no interest in the movie, you should really check out the picspam, which is awesome and hilarious and 100% responsible for the fact that I ever watched the movie.)

Anyway, my fic is a remix of The Stories We Tell by lls_mutant, which is sort of crack!fic in its own right. Just, maybe, not so much as the remix is. It's not what I initially thought I'd remix - I'd have loved to do a remix of Honor And Duty, for example, or any number of her Gaeta fics - but I read The Stories We Tell almost as an afterthought, and the idea popped into my head immediately. Hey, my brain said, what if, through some sort of projection accident, a dragon really appeared on Galactica? And I thought, surely I can't write that, it's complete crack. And I sat on it for a few days, and the idea just wouldn't go away, and I thought ... it could be awesome? So eventually I gave in and wrote it.

Honestly, I kind of love it, and I hope lls_mutant isn't disappointed that she didn't get a more serious remix. In my head, this felt very much like Reset, my other cracked-out-premise BSG ensemble fic, and I think that's what ultimately convinced me to write it, because I really loved writing Reset. In fact, I almost fudged the timeline of this a bit so I could include Helo and Athena in season two - it would have also included D'Anna, who I was a little sorry to lose - but then I decided it really did belong in season one, and that way I could write Boomer instead. Plus it gave me the chance to include a little Crashdown/Boomer, which made me happy. I'm mostly very easy to please.

(In a side note, it amuses me that over the course of two ficathons, I managed to remix both the bsg_remix mods - rose_griffes for bsg_remix, and lls_mutant for remixredux09.)

So, now I'm off to respond to the awesome feedback I got, and I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else wrote!
