Remix is coming up again this year and I'm looking forward to it - it's fun and it's different and I always seem to end up writing something I never have before/never thought I would.

You're eligible if you have at least five 500 word stories or at least seven 100 word stories in one fandom on their long list (which they are currently discussing adding to).

Since I know that there are people who are nearly eligible, but not quite, or people that are nearly eligible in one fandom but not quite, how about a little drabbleathon? All those drabble comms I used to be in, years back, are now paying dividends because I'm eligible for four fandoms, one of which I've only ever written drabbles in.

So, anyone who wants to write a drabble - for whatever reason, even if it has nothing to do with remix - comment here with fandoms, and characters too if you like, other people can give you prompts, then you write some drabbles.

It's probably a good idea to link to your comment, so your friends who aren't reading this can give you prompts - or you can post another entry on your LJ/blog. But since this post is in three places, lets keep all the prompts etc in the LJ post.

I don't know how I'm going to watch all the Olympics. I saw bits yesterday morning in their extended highlights, which was just the right amount of all the sports that look crazy enough to watch but get samey pretty quickly.

Tonight I managed to get the pair short program into about an hour but cutting out anything that wasn't the actual skating. But tonight's the free program which has more skating, then tomorrow there's a GB curling match and I'm going out for pancakes in the evening.

And there's only so much Olympics you can watch in an evening. Fortunately I have nothing planned for the weekend, so it might involve watching a lot of ice skating and curling and a bit of other sports...

I forgot to mention in yesterday's post that various people have been posting their TV series for the meme at isurrendered and there's some really interesting stuff there. I think I have the smallest cast...

Copper won the prize for guessing the connection between the actors in mine: they've all played policemen/women:

• Peter Davison was DC 'Dangerous' Davies in The Last Detective
• Ben Peyton was PC Ben Haywood in The Bill
• Philip Glenister was DCI Gene Hunt in Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes and also DCI William Bell in State of Play
• Jaye Griffiths was DI Sally Johnson in The Bill

Georgia Moffett only played a policewoman's daughter: she was Abi Nixon, DS/DI Sam Nixon's daughter in The Bill.
