I heart colour-coded techno

[petronia]

Spent day working through to-do list and listening to this. The mix is amazing (download on linked page) but the helpfully-provided spreadsheet especially makes me happy. XD I like conceptualizing the track I'm listening to as a colour bar called "Pistachio-A-1", gradually followed/overlapped by "Rubine-B-2". It's soothing, in a more emotionally fundamental sense than aesthetics: just the idea of this complex architecture of abstract sound in time = a Pantone colour, itself designated by a series of alphanumeric symbols, everything indexing something else in the universal taxonomy. Is why I like words, really, they index things... Techno music for yr inner autistic-spectrum synaesthete. IOW, back to Kompakt Extra for the umpteenth time. XD Now that we are having the SSBB remix challenge I wonder if I should do something like that - link the stories compiled as original + remix(es) "releases", with random photo + colour bar + number for each cover image? This despite how I said I was expending no effort on this one.

Actually, I'm none too sure how these things normally work. ^^; Should people have to state which story they're remixing when they sign up, or leave it as a surprise? Or state the author and leave the specific story as a surprise?

OH AND A MEME--

If you had me under your command and could make me write anything, regardless of whether or not I know the fandom or if anybody even writes fic in that fandom and no matter how crack-addled it might be, what would you love to see me write?
