The popslash remix challenge has gone live. I didn't take part this year but have done in other years and I know it's a challenge that tends to be overlooked a lot, which is a shame because it's a really cool challenge and the authors really don't get the credit they deserve. So go, read and feed.

stubbleglitter announced that it's the last popslash remix challenge, from next year it'll be integrated with the bigger remix challenge. Which is sad but very understandable. So I want to thank Maggie for all her hard work in taking over the challenge and running it all these years. I still love popslash with all my heart, and memories of remix are very precious to me, from the years I was too scared to take part, to the years that I did and ended with stories I enjoyed. Thank you. ♥

sly_fuck has made some very nice MCR icons, this one I'm using is from her ♥

I love the picture of Panic! that Shane posted, and have been very amused at Ryan trolling the internet.

I put in my first support ticket this morning. For the last few days LJ has been loading horribly slowly for me, I was dealing as best I could, thinking it was something on my end, but apparently it's an issue for many in the UK. So, hopefully they'll sort something out.

The lease on our car is running out soon, so we went out to pick a new one yesterday. We're getting a.... something. I don't know. It's got four wheels and an engine and a nifty storage compartment for the passanger seat, and a place to plug in an MP3 player. That was important. It's also a 7 seater, which you'd think we wouldn't need for a three person family but with Scout stuff and the amount of people we ferry around it's a good choice, especially as the deposit for the 5 and 7 seater is the same -- Corey's just informed me it's a Citroen Grand C4 Picasso. At least someone knows.

After uploading for someone I've just listened to Panic's version of Karma Police multiple times. If you want it, it's here

Lol! Good thing I remembered to put the entry as public. I try to do that with graphics anyway, but *mimes wiping fore head in relief*

I'm resisting the urge to manip Ryan and Jon into the photo.

*hugs* Have fun with the new car!

I remember the first year of the remix, I didn't have enough stories to participate and I was sad. Then when I had enough stories, I was nervous. Then I finally did it. I've had a love/hate relationship with it, because a couple of times it was really hard to do, and my very worst story came out of that challenge. But all in all, I've loved it, and while it's sad to see the end of it, I'm actually impressed it lasted as long as it did. Which is all thanks to zvi and Maggie, of course.

And hey, we freakin' invented the remix, and no one can take that away.

Hmmm, writing or reading remix stories? The decisions we have to make when we are working from home. *g*

Thanks for the link to the MCR icons. I should snag a few new Mikey icons.

That picture of Panic is delightful. I love how Brendon seems to be caught in motion, while Spencer is solid and just *there*.

Must be Bandom Month(s) or something; it's like we get new pressies everyday!

Thanks for uploading the song, it's one I didn't have :-) Speaking of, you wouldn't happen to have the Panic version of The Weight, would you? The cover they sang at the Abbey Road thing?

That's a little sad to hear about the remix, but it has lasted a tremendously long time for a fanfic challenge. (We Invented It!!! :-)

I hope LJ will manage to fix whatever is wrong for you UK people!

*goggles Citroen Grand C4 Picasso* That's a big-ass car indeed, but it certainly sounds like you will have use of it. Good luck with it!

I don't have words for Ryan. *shakes head* I wonder how much people (read: rabid teenage fangirls) he fooled! xD

Had to google your new car. xD It looks really nice! ^^

So we really did invent the Remix? I had no idea! I had seen the phrase, but obviously wasn't around way back when.

There are a lot of great stories in the remix! Especially Chris stories. I'm enjoying reading my way through them.

I hope LJ gets their act together soon. That is Not On!

Congratulations on the new car! It's always good to be able to take extra passengers with you if necessary. I hope it will serve you well.
