Oh, thank heavens! I was terrified that you wouldn't like it because (I admit) I stretched the definition of "remix" on this one.

If you're curious about how I went about remixing Winter Garden, and how I drew my ideas for the remix out of your story, I put up a pretty long piece of meta here (http://liz-marcs.livejournal.com/326488.html).

Thank you again for the original story, and thank you for letting me know you liked it.
