neveralarchI did a remix! I realize author reveals were a little while ago, but I'm getting around to it now, haha.
Gearbox (The Won't Miss a Piece Remix)
Doctor Who
Rating: gen
(no warnings)
Characters: Seven, Ace, and a bunch of Doctors and companions.
Wordcount: 6,000ish
Summary: “How does the TARDIS work?” asks Ace.
A/N: Written for Remix Redux 10, for roachpatrol. A remix of Ad Astra Per Anatis, which is fascinating and people should read. Betaed by aralias, who is an excellent person who puts up with my remix-instigated Ace fixation.

It was fun remixing roachpatrol! I've been following her writing for about... two years? Three? Regardless, I'm familiar, so it was more about picking apart the thoughts I already had, rather than working out something new. I did have to do some rewriting, and ended up getting uncomfortably close to the deadline, but I think it all worked out well.
I don't have much to say about the writing process this time around - it was pretty straight-forward. Ad Astra Per Anatis was the only fic I got really interested in remixing, and I worked out my plan pretty quickly. I did write quick remix drabbles, but only two really had anything behind them.
Here's the Ad Astra Per Anatis drabble, which I ended up using not at all:
The Tardis is broken.
The Doctor pulls in a breath, buries his arms in the mud. There's always something wrong with the TARDIS, but she is his and he cannot let her go.
The mud lets the duck free, with a slurp. Another piece of metal to fix, another emerging life stopped by defects in the machine.
There's a pile of copper alloy in a room in the TARDIS, but when the Doctor went looking, this is what he found.
The TARDIS is broken.
And the only other one that I thought was interesting, for Operation Cuckoo:
Jeffery's been working at Torchwood for five years, ever since he got out of medical school. He always knew it was around - Gran worked there, way back when, and Mum hadn't made much of a secret out the family history, even if she was in UNIT.
It's a great job.
Mary-ann agrees, even if she's a superintelligent ultrasound.
(It was going to be a fic about the life of a Torchwood medic, and it was going to be silly, and I still kind of want to write it, except I'm not sure if I could get through writing even ridiculous body horror =/.)
So, yeah! It was fun, even if I ended up scraping against the deadline this year. Will definitely try to do it next year.
