Commentaries
May. 14th, 2013 06:59 amI just realized I've written a heck of a lot of fic since I last did DVD commentaries, so if anyone's interested I'm up for it.
Pick any passage of 500 words or fewer from any story I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you the equivalent of 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.
I don't absolutely promise the awful puns, but just now I happen to be writing yet another story from John Reese's POV, so perhaps I can promise lame jokes.
(It would be tremendous fun to do this for "Children of an Idle Brain," but anything is fair game. I think it was all Vorkosigan stuff last time, so I'm glad I have more of a mix now. Feel free to ask for more than one and I'll get to them as I have time.)
