My original assignment was to write for
I also picked up a Pinch Hit, and remixed
So first I just wrote out Percy's notes, in text, and then I tried to figure out if the funny of them held up without the visual aid of the catalogue right beside it. I thought it lost a lot of the punch without it, so then I tried to recreate the catalogue's formatting and such. Which didn't work so well as it made inserting the notes awkward.
All the while I'd been talking to
I went back over my original text, added some notes and the like, and then she whipped it up. It turned out fantastic looking, but I was honestly a bit worried that it had too much of the original and not enough of the Remix. (The text itself, when added up, is well over the minimum word count, it just doesn't look it.) So I was sort of nervous about posting it, though I thought the funny came through much, much better like that.
However it got an incredibly unexpected and positive response, so I guess it was okay! It was a lot of fun to do, so I'm glad people enjoyed it.
Overall, this Remix was the easiest I've done so far. Every other remix I've started over at least once, sometimes switched sources, and fretted myself to death. Both of these came right at me, and sort of wrote themselves, which is a lovely feeling.
I'll be reposting them both here in the near future, and of course over at dream_country at IJ, which is my shiny, organized fic archive. I need to go through all the past remix archives and pull out the stories written for mine, so I can link back to them there, on the original. Note to self: Do that.
As always,

And now I go answer comments!
