I was sick yesterday. Alternatively freezing and boiling for most of the day but thankfully I'm good now, so it must have been a nasty 24 hour thing. Today it's snowing like crazy so I'm staying in to catch up on some things and while I'm doing so I'll meme.

Everyone could do with an ego boost at times so comment away, just let me know where your stuff is because I suck and may not remember without a prompt.

Also, another meme.

1. Comment with a request to see absolutely anything on my computer. My desktop, my documents, my playlist, my bookmarks, my latest Photoshop graphics experiment ... absolutely whatever you are curious about. Request it.
2. I will respond with a screenshot of the very thing you request.

Before I went to your site I was going to pick Food, because that story has such an emotional gut punch and is so amazingly visual that I'm in awe of it. But as I read at your site I found another story that I think may be my favourite.

It's Crunked, the Alternatives Remix and I've read it a few times since I found it. I really liked the original because superheros are just the coolest things so the universe really attracted me. I often re read the first crunked story so when I saw you'd re mixed it I was so pleased. You did it so well too. Remixing fills me with terror, which is why I would never consider joining the challenge, yet you took a story that I loved and made it better, and that's amazing. I love the new spin you put on it, the dark taint over everything that changes the story so much. Because I think your version is more realistic, getting powers like that must be a total mind fuck which would leave you feeling crazy.

There's this sense of unease through the whole story. JC so uncomfortable in his skin, Lance so insecure, needing things he daren't ask for. Chris so frustrated as his life speeds up, isolating him in the process as all he can do is wait for the others to catch up.

The part where Joey was beaten to death was horrific, but I couldn't stop reading at all, then Justin, man poor Justin. Those end scenes are so powerful. Painful to read yet compelling in their intensity.

I especially like the end and its none happy ending. I'm very impressed I tell you.

Thank you! I loved writing that remix, although Joey's beating and what Justin did made me almost sick doing it. I'm happy you chose this one. That story feels like one of my great achievements.
