quihiI have not managed to reply to comments on dreamwidth that I mean to, yet. I really do want to get into using dreamwidth, but I suspect it'll take awhile before I truly get into the habit of it. I had a long comment mostly finished and I lost it when my laptop shut off on me, so I'll have to start over and hope I can remember or rewrite it. (My laptop is several years old and periodically, it decides the battery is dead and it shuts off and won't turn on until I plug it in, upon which it realizes it's actually fully charged.)
I've been busy for the last couple weeks—honestly, it's hard to say what I've been busy with, since there's no big thing. There's some major work getting done on my parents' house, so I was staying at my sister's house which messed up my schedule, and I was mostly online on my phone and not doing the stuff that I do at my laptop, like writing moderate to long comments. (Maybe I should just do it on my phone anyway.) Now I'm traveling and visiting a friend I haven't seen in person in a few years which, again, is great, albeit awkward at moments, but I have little time to myself where I can really relax and write anything than a few discord messages, except by staying up late. (I've still been reading some fic, when I wake up or in an attempt to relax, so maybe I'm just making excuses. It's hard to say.)
Reveals for the Rigel Black Remix just happened! I was scrambling to write just before the deadline, unfortunately (I totally meant to be on top of it sooner! and procrastinated anyway), and only finished my edits about fifteen minutes before reveals, but I did finish, and I think I'm happy with it. I got two awesome gifts/remixes, one art and one fic, for the same fic, and I'm super excited that people liked that relationship concept of Archie/Hermione & Harry, with Harry right along with them for life but not quite involved in the romantic aspect of the relationship, enough to explore it more.
I'm still not entirely confident in my ability to write remixes, even though I wrote one. I can generally come up with ideas for fanfiction, recursive or based directly on regular canons, and remixes seem to involve a little different approach, balancing how much of the source fic to keep and what to keep the same or not. I don't remember reading across any before a few months ago. I'm looking forward to reading more and getting more familiar with the concept and what people do with it!
