Le Corsaire, Remix cubed, and Star Trek

I went in to New York for the ballet with my mother Saturday night. Things that you don't notice when you see a ballet as a fairly oblivious teenager but that are really obvious a decade later: those pirates have a pretty, half-naked male slave. Gee, I wonder what his job description was before the pirates acquired some female slaves for him to protect from villains, rescue, etc. Besides that revelation, it was a good performance, but not quite as impressive as the first two times I saw Le Corsaire. Possibly I'm just getting jaded in my old age.

jentfic_remix is gearing up again, though I'm thinking I might sit out this round. I already have four other fic exchanges I've committed to this summer, plus forty or so pages of my master's thesis left to write. Not to mention that the last round just ended a month ago, and that seems a bit recent even for my remix-loving self.

However, there are other remix exchanges I'm definitely doing. A heads up to people on my flist that jdrama_remix will open sign-ups in a couple of weeks. It's running a bit late this year to give remixredux09 and jentfic_remix participants some time to recover between deadlines (and also to accommodate me completing my thesis). I'm planning to have assignments sent out around June 25th and stories due August 25th.

Finally, Remix Redux has opened sign-ups, and DBSK, JE, bandom, and popslash have all been added to the list of qualifying fandoms. (Which means I really need to get to work on updating my website, including shifting all my old popslash stories over there.) There are fewer animanga fandoms among the qualifying fandoms due to the paucity of animanga writers participating last year, but of course you can still submit them as additional fandoms and offer to write them, as long as you have at least one qualifying fandom to submit and offer.

And my newest shiny obsession is also on the list of qualifying fandoms! I'm definitely going to offer to write it, but it would be nice if I could also have enough ST:Reboot stories that I could submit it as one of my qualifying fandoms. Unfortunately, I'm still two short stories or three drabbles short of that goal, so, prompt me? I won't write breathplay or non-con, and I'm a little scared of writing Scotty or the parents, but most other prompts should be okay.
