Title: Refining Gold (Beautiful Mess Remix)
Author: danceswithgary (danceswithgary@yahoo.com)
Pairing: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
Rating: R for language
Warnings: None
Spoilers: None
Word Count: 3120
Archive: Fine, just let me know
Summary: The crash had been a shock for all of them. The instantaneous loss of power had left John piloting the equivalent of a large rock. John and Rodney spend some quality time in the desert. My original Refining Gold remixed for artword 012 - Second Chances Challenge. The rework was based on gingertheory's 'Beautiful Mess'.

image is flocked

I'm not sure which image you're referring to - I can see both and I am not a 'friend' of the artist.

[danceswithgary]

I can also view the images while logged out of my LJ account.

I can't see the image either.

Loved the remix!

[danceswithgary]

Which image? The one at the beginning or at the end? I need to know so I can let the artist know.

I'm glad you liked the remix. Thanks! :-D

I wasn't seeing either at first, and when I clicked the link for the top pic (http://pics.livejournal.com/gingertheory/pic/0001b1xp) I was getting a 'Forbidden' error. Everything seems to be working fine now tho *shrug*

Ooh, this came out beautifully! I felt like I was hurt and wandering with them.

(I should have my part of our artword later today or tomorrow. Sorry to be slow.)

[danceswithgary]

I'm glad you liked the remix - I added to the descriptions do it's nice to know they worked.

I'll post the original and remix covers to my LJ so you can link to them on the artword post when you're ready.

Very nicely remixed. I enjoyed the first immensely, but with the little extra details and the image, it makes it that much better. Thanks for sharing!

[danceswithgary]

Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the remix. It was indeed a challenge for me since I rarely like to tinker with my stories once I've posted them.

Loved the first version but this version is even better! I actually didn't quite get it the first time through that John was hallucinating Rodney in the desert, but this version made it clearer. Love the ending, too.

As for the images, I can see both so I'm no help on the image viewing issue. Good luck with that!

[danceswithgary]

It's good to hear that the additions I made help clear some confusion -coool! Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed. :-D

the artwork is great!

[danceswithgary]

She did do a lovely job with both pieces. *nods*

I really enjoyed this and love your Rodney voice. Great kicker at the end... dear John, having Rodney's brilliant grumblings for company. Wonderful job!

[danceswithgary]

I had a lot of fun writing Rodney - his grumbling always makes me laugh. Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed this!

Wonderful.

[danceswithgary]

Thank you! :-D
