I also got some new readers out of it, and found some great new fic myself! :-D
There were definitely some remixes that were better than the original fics, but I don't think that's anything to be ashamed of. In many ways, it's easier to comment on and fix a fic you like and see potential in, than it is to write something completely new. And for the author, it's like the most awesome, in depth analytical feedback ever!
Sometimes I think that because of the social rules fandom enforces, we miss out on some link backs. I know that I don't link to fic which has inspired me, unless I lift recognizable elements from them. I just don't want to start any trouble with anyone.
