Remix!
This year's Remix ficathon is online, which makes me very happy indeed. Like every year, there are a lot of great stories, plus on a personal level I'm gratified my remixee liked mine, because it was one of my fanfictions that also serve as meta and those can be risky if one has different character interpretations. I myself received Convent Mouse, which was sparked by one of my earliest efforts in fanfiction altogether (and only the second story I ever wrote in English), a Highlander story called Waiting which was an Alexa Bond point of view during the events of Something Wicked/Deliverance.
I'm very real life busy, but at a quick glance, here are the stories by other people that captured me immediately:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
Not Really Here: one of Dawn's fictional memories, from the time she was 11 years old and Drusilla's imaginary friend. Uses the canonical fact mad people can see Dawn for what she is and the inserted memories concept brilliantly, and Dru is superbly written.
Doctor Who:
Ecce Medico Donnaque!: I will never tire of geeking out about Latin-written Doctor Who fanfic. Eheu, mihi placet.
A bad habit: the Master and the Doctor for each other, naturally. A multi-Doctor tale, capturing each regeneration very well through the prism of the Master.
Every day a journey: Barbara and Ian Chesterton through the years, occasionally running into later regenerations of the Doctor and some of his companions and living their lives wonderfully well.
Le Donne Che Piangono (The Weeping Women) : in which a hinted bit of backstory from End of Time - just how did Rassilon silence the opposition and who were those women? - gets explored, as we find out what became of Romana, the Rani and Susan's grandmother.
Falling down to midnight: the Doctor during the Year That Wasn't. Uses the Archangel Network, and what the Doctor did during that year with it, in a way I haven't quite seen in any of the other (many, many) takes on Ten during that year.
Sartorial Differences: how Six lost his multi-coloured coat and re-aquired it. It's the Master's fault (achievement?), naturally. With bonus Evelyn!
Doctor Who/The West Wing
They've all gone to look for America: in which the (Eleventh) Doctor takes the staff members of the Bartlet administration out for an occasional vacation. Let's face it, these people need it now and then! Their destinations are all very aptly chosen.
Farscape:
Tell Me: an exploration of Bizarro!Chiana from the canonical AU we get to see in two season 4 episodes. Great Chiana voice (which includes the way she's different due to being also partly Aeryn); the relationship with Crichton is written so well, and gutwrenching, considering what happens in the episode Prayer.
Star Trel: DS9
F is for Ferengi: in which Jadzia goes to Ferenginar in search of adventure and a story to tell. It has Dax playing tongo, explores the Ferengi (specifically the female ones) and contains a great Ishka. You bet I liked this one!
Torchwood:
These are the stories: the ones Jack tells himself after Children of Earth, specifically, but the incidents covered, where Jack imagines other outcomes, are from all Torchwood canon. Still, the life he imagines for Alice, Steven and himself hit me hardest.
