I always lust over trying to do Remix. And every year I remember that I a) don't write enough in popular fandoms and b) don't write enough in general. I think last year I wrote five full-length fics. And they were all for Yuletide or another fic exchange. And for vaguely common fandoms, I wrote about eight commentfics for comment_fic.

I wish I could write more, but it seems like every time I start trying to write for myself (as opposed to having an externally imposed deadline and a fic recipient) I just flail and shut down. Which sucks because Remix is the sort of thing I'd do well with-- if I could write enough to qualify for it.

I *think* Remix is doing a wide-open Madness round this year, rather like Yuletide. That might be a good way to try remixing without the pressure of word counts and everything.

And I hear you on the flailing and shutting down. /o\

Alas, they are not because people got their panties in a twist there were too many questions to have to deal with.

Detail details! :(

[lady_ganesh]

It made me sad! But there is always pinch-hitting.

[sherlockian]

But why did people get their panties in a twist? :(

[lady_ganesh]

People got confused that they wouldn't have enough stories for remixing next time if they had too many remixes (oh, to have that problem) and there was some crazycakes stuff about being 'vulnerable' to remixing and DEAR HEAVEN WHAT IF WE LET THE PINCH HITTERS REMIX and...honestly I WAS NOT IMPRESSED. That being said, most people were all 'wheeee!'

Aww, man! DDD:

Hah, I'm the same with things with a deadline- I freeze up with stress.

[sherlockian]

I always feel like no one will care about the stuff I write for myself. At least someone will care about the fic I write as a present.

I've been pasting bits of my fic/fic ideas with some friends over IM, and they've been doing the same to me- I know we al care for each other's fics and whatnot (even if one of them doesn't care for MST)
