selenak: was terribly busy yesterday, which included visiting several breathtakingly lovely towns in the Elsass/Alsace (German and French name for the province respectively, I don't know the English name, I'm afraid.) I made some great photos which I'll try to upload as soon as I have wi fi again. Did check on my mail in between, which brought me several nice comments on my Rarewomen story about Harmony, which made me happy, but so far the only people who liked my Remix story, which is one of those ambitous "I poured my heart and soul into this!" things, seem to have been my remixee and the beta reader. Never mind reviews, there aren't even other kudos. (Cue inner "but WHY?" wail of despair every time I check my mail.) This makes me profoundly depressed and in danger of getting whiny, so I shall stop and instead present some recs of other stories:
Breaking Bad:
Five Gifts for Holly White (and one she gave)
A great future fic giving us a plausible Holly growing up, which offers great glimpses at Skyler, Marie, Flynn and Gretchen as well.
Narcissa Through the Looking Glass
a Harry Potter/Game of Thrones crossover which not only pulls that premise of but does so in the backstory era for both sagas. Narcissa Not-yet-Malfoy but Black accidentally ends up with the Tully sisters, Catelyn and Lysa, and the result is eminently entertaining to read.

For what it's worth, Remix always seems to be pretty low-traffic, and what there is seems mostly driven by the fandom and how well-known the remixee is. This year, I wrote in what I expected to be a very high-traffic fandom and so far it's gotten about the level of response that my tiny-fandom Yuletide fic had by this point.
(I have been swamped with various forms of busy and haven't gotten to read much of anything in either exchange but I am really looking forward to your Harmony fic, obviously :D)

re: Remix, I am busily telling myself to be sensible. Also counting on Darth Real life to keep be distrracted from gnashing my teeth. :)
