Nov. 6th, 2009 05:46 pmWhen I started this LJ, participating in fic-related memes was high on my list of journal-creation-pros, and rarely does one come along that I can resist. Especially when I should be doing something else (which is certainly the case right now), ESPECIALLY when I still have to finish writing snippets for the last meme I took part in. Basically I stink, feel terribly self-obsessed whenever I post one of these, and yet I keep posting them! It's like memes are a drug I can't quite quit.
Anyway, the meme!
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 character's 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.
A list with links to most of my fic can be found here.
In other news: I find myself in a weird headspace where I'm almost fannish-obsession-free. Perhaps this is just my mind automatically making room for the seasonal madness that is Yuletide? Randomly, the show that has most captured me this season is Community, which I totally did not expect, though I continue to follow most of the shows I have in the past. Am also loving The Good Wife and Parks & Recreation, the latter of which I had totally written off after trying two episodes last season.
Love it when TV can surprise you!

Date: 2009-11-07 07:34 pm (UTC)I have totally been thinking of Yuletide in connection with Community, too - I saw that there's a fair number of offers/requests, which is pretty exciting. I am being my usual procrastinatory self and taking as long as possible to really sit down and think about offers/requests. You're doing Yuletide this year, right? OMG, if you got assigned to write Community, that would be AMAZING. I hope you take part and offer it!!
Also: Your icon is amazing. DANGER!
Lookie here!
