Pick any passage of 500 words or less from any fanfic 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 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.
99% of my fic is here. A few other random fics are here.
Oh this should be fun...*g*

13/8/12 21:05 (UTC)Eliot and Lindsey was my pride and joy in this fic - it's an idea that's been touched on before, but I'd never seen anything substantial on it.
Although, I confess, I was a bit nervous about this whole sequence - Eliot, Hardison, and Parker walking home from the hospital all the way? I mean, I did take a trip once to Boston, so I know it's a twisty-turny kind of place, but the entire sequence and idea just felt a bit unnatural to me. I had similar feelings about his heading to the hotel.
But a lot of Eliot's scenes in this felt a bit odd to me - they had to happen this way for the plot to advance, and I tried to ensure that they happened as smoothly as possible.
I do think I hit upon an interesting point in Eliot's relationship with the rest of the team, that part of the reason he likes them so much is that they let him keep his secrets, and acknowledge that they all have demons in their past they'd rather leave there.
Also, I think this was the scene where I realized that, honestly, writing Parker is kind of fun. Mom and I wound up sharing Parker-duty a lot in our writing, but I was the one who actually enjoyed it the most. She's never felt terribly comfortable writing her.

14/8/12 17:35 (UTC)I think you handled the Eliot scenes excellently in this story. Mind you, I pretty much loved the whole thing anyway :)
Writing Parker can be awesome fun, I know, but at the same time she does give me trouble, because she's just not a straight-forward, linear kind of a person! lol
Can I just say, I love that you write fic with your Mom. Ain't it great having her in fandom with you? My Mum is way into Leverage too and she betas all my stuff. I love that :)
