I don't know how, but I got two remix fics this year, which is very cool.
One is Protective Urges (the Girl You'll Be A Woman Soon remix) (Firefly, Mal/Kaylee), a remix of Protective Urges; and the other is Penguins, Sparrows and Stars (be free to fly remix) (SGA, John/Rodney), a remix of Penguins and Sparrows and Stars.
What's interesting, for me, about both of them is that they're not just expanding on the stories I wrote, they're actually telling different stories as well, and not what I would have come up with, either.
The Protective Urges remix takes Mal's pov while he's chasing off Kaylee's potential suitors, and turns it into Mal wanting her and knowing he can't be with her; it's melancholy and longing and all there in what I wrote, even though I never intended it to be. PU was a gen fic, all about Mal being a big brother to Kaylee.
The P&S&S remix is told from John's pov after he gets stuck in the ship, and goes back into the history of his relationships with Rodney, Teyla and Ford. I'm actually not 100% convinced that it could have worked that way, though I think that's more because of my own thoughts on this universe than because of anything in the actual story, so I can't blame the author for that - zie's not psychic! That said, it's a workable theory of how things could have been, and it does work in the context - it explains how they knew each other and where they went, and it's totally different from what I imagined. Plus, hir John pov from being the ship is really cool.
In lieu of linking to my own fic, which I nearly did, a clue? It has some femslash in it and some het (first time for everything!), and it's written for a sci-fi fandom. And I think that's all I can say without giving it away.
