Strangely enough, I'm pretty much the gen-iest of gen writers (no, seriously, I don't write ships at all), so whenever I even write a ship it's unusual for me.
Fortunately for the original writers, but unfortunately for the remixers, the original "ship" has to be preserved in some form, even if it's completely played down to no more than a line in passing. However, since you have access to the original author's entire catalog of stories (it's a minimum of 5 stories that are 1,000 words or more in at least one fandom for an "entrance fee" into the remix), it's usually fairly easy to work around it if you've got pairings that legitimately squick you out.
For the Remix (which is a once-a-year tradition)...seriously, give it a shot it's a lot of fun, not to mention a nail-biting challenge. You can access all six years through this link. This'll take you to the latest year, but if you look to the left under "links" you'll find links to the previous years if you want to check out the stories. The nice thing is that all of the stories are tagged in one form or another, so it's easy to find what interests you.
Aaaaaaand...I haven't even thanked you for being willing to "cross-over" and read the fic. :-)
Sorry about that. I just like encouraging people to try their hand at the remix at least once because it is a lot of fun...
Anyway, here goes: Thank you very much for giving this story a chance. :-)
I really do appreciate it when people step outside their comfort zone to read something I wrote. Then again, like I said, I'm the geniest of gen writers, so shipping-wise there ain't a whole lot of non-comfort zone there. *grins*
I'm glad you enjoyed the story and the construction. I'm especially pleased you liked the meta. Sometimes I get a bit long-winded when it comes to the writing process.
Again, thank you again for reading the story, and I hope to see you "drop by" again. Visitors are always welcome. :-)
