Hello good people! This is my first post or, really, interaction with you all, though I've been lurking about for a good while now. I'm Alex, and I bring with me a fanmix of ridiculousness and gently ribbing the fandom. I shall now copy my notes from the fanmix header, because it decently explains everything without me having to rewrite it.
This is a Fanmix
This mix is the lovechild of that one song or two on your fanmix that seems completely out of place and really shouldn't work except somehow, it absolutely does; and that one song that doesn't quite fit but amuses you far too much or is just close enough that you have to include it, so you throw it in as a bonus track. These songs are not meant to be taken seriously. The purpose was ridiculousness and a very fond ribbing of the fandom. I've been a lurker in the Who fandom for a while now, specifically the Doctor/Master section of it. I love the fandom, I love the ship, and I especially love the Academy fic, but after hanging about for a while, I started to notice certain trends. That's the other half of where this mix comes from, as a bit of a tribute to and adoration of the fannish hivemind/adoption of things they like. It's also the inspiration behind the title -- when looking, it seemed a lot of Theta/Koschei fics get very short, very simple titles that state some major element or theme of the story, or plain descriptive titles. This is the closest I could come to doing that for a fanmix. Wow, these notes are getting long. Theta on the cover is Mathias Lauridsen, Koschei is Gaspard Ulliel. Sneaks up a bit on Doctor/Master at the end.
Link goes to my journal. Twenty-eight songs. All files are .mp3. Read, download, enjoy, and comment if you like it (or hate it, for that matter).
