Fandom conundrum.

Remix is due in just over two weeks. I've narrowed my choices down to two stories in a fandom I enjoy, either of which would be fun to write and fairly easy to finish with a couple of sessions, but I'm still nervous.

This comes from the fact that I'd be remixing the ideas behind the stories instead of the plots themselves, and I wouldn't be worrying if I hadn't gotten a tiny bit of flack last year for it - someone said it didn't count as a Remix because I didn't follow the plot of the original, but went for the spirit of the idea in "exploring a relationship through sensory information".

I think what I need right now is a pat on the back and the assurance it's all right to go forward with my original plans for this, since I know I can do a good job if I just shed this little bit of nervousness.

Wednesday late night.

The presentation went beautifully. I spoke faster than I wanted to, but at the same time I didn't stumble over my words, didn't forget anything, got some genuine reactions from the audience, and felt fairly comfortable standing up there. And now - aside from a couple of online assesments of other presentations - my semester's over, and I can spend tomorrow relaxing and getting ready to go home.

To celebrate, I've got a blueberry beer, which is as good as it sounds, which means it's utterly delicious. I've got to get my hands on some more later this summer. It's a great sipping beer, nice and mild without being "lite" and really does taste like blueberries.
