dbskylerSo the DVD commentary meme has been going around again, and as I confess that I've always been curious to try it, I'm giving it a shot:
Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the characters' heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.
Well, I don't know about puns -- I'm not so good with those -- but I'm always up for rambling about my own writing, so lay it on me! However, since it's always more fun to find out more about how your writing is viewed than to hear someone waffle on about their own writing, here's my extra twist:
Alternatively (or in addition), provide me with a paragraph or short passage from your OWN writing -- something you know for sure that I've read (i.e., I left you a review on it) -- and I will give you a reader commentary: what I was thinking when I read it, what I think is going on in the characters' heads, what strikes me about the words you chose, what that moment means to me in the context of the rest of the fic, and anything else you wouldn't expect to find on a DVD commentary track.
I'm not sure how this will all work out, but let's find out, shall we? Have at it!
