since when are public figures fair game for satire?!?

Whoo-hoo! Finished reading the *nsync-ish Remix fics, and here is a little list of the ones I particularly enjoyed.

the turbulent mating cycle of the north american snarkbeast: the intergalactic mix .. man, if all trickyfish was written like a snappy 30's romantic comedy the way this is, I would SO be there. Even more impressively, it's set in space! Now *that's* talent!

tirante: the tightrope mix .. this is just delicious in its hot tension, soaked with hunger and longing and lust. It feels almost *elemental*.

list: the talkin' talkin' happy talk mix .. this is Britney and Nick, and the complexity and facets of the two of them is staggering and bewildering and utterly fascinating.

just another drunken bet: the straight since the cinco de mayo mix .. you sort of know what's coming, and you sort of don't, and it's just this perfect character snapshot in two-four time.

pulling the wool over love's eyes: the what's going on mix .. how can a breakup/heartbreak story feel so comfortable and cosy? I have no idea, but this one really does and I really enjoy it.

a hogwarts christmas: the background vocals pre-mix .. I absolutely fell in love with Britney in this, and the clever details and atmosphere of life in Hogwarts is just mouth-wateringly vivid.

just gay enough: a tale of self discovery: the being-straight-doesn't-pay-unless-you're-justin-timberlake-or-joey-at-band-camp mix .. cute without being cutesy, and the slightest bit trashy in the most delectable way, like handfuls of sour-sweet candy. Yum!

jc chasez and the magical amulet of doom: the if you try sometime, you just might find you get what you need mix .. plonks you right down in the middle of Weird Goings-On and diverts right to the meltingly urgent and unbearably hot sex. Boo-yah!

way of the world: the birds and unexpected bridges mix .. so, so quiet; you almost never notice the way it slices right into you with all the perfectly-turned phrases and glitters under your skin.

let us hold your banner high: the whole new world mix .. this one remixed my fic, and I am just ... *floored*. It's got this absolute ruthless economy of words, and each burst of dialogue or sharp sentence carries that much more weight of meaning for it. There's not a bit of it that doesn't make me shiver in delight and horror, which is exactly how it should be.

red right hand: the wicked little things mix .. speaking of a skillful mix of funny/scary hysteria, this fic manages to do both in alternating spurts of freaky blood and nightmares and entertaining, fun dialogue -- culminating in both AT THE SAME TIME. hee!

OMG, I LOVE not being in school and having time for fandom again!! You people will soon wish you were rid of me once more.

I will never wish to be rid of you.

p.s. this is the summer you write an epic Futurama road trip comedy, right? ;)

Not gonna happen.

I'd say this challenge was a huge success. Awesome mod, awesome stories - SO MUCH LOVE.
