Here's part two of the DVD commentary for Takasago's Pines. Even more wordy than the first part!

Follow me below the cut for my scintillating commentary!

Very interesting!

[ithildyn]

Thanks :) I couldn't believe when I got to the end how wordy I'd been. Dang.

And here I am - finally! I think the thing that struck me most about the commentary was how you were certain this story was going to have a happy ending right up to the moment the it didn't This happens to me all the bloody time!

And, on a story note, the image of Amanda, behind Methos's back, miming choking herself to Triona, was coffee-splurt worthy!

Your thoughts on Duncan were interesting, and not what I was expecting. Frankly, I thought they'd be a lot harsher, so they came as a surprise.

But the real question....what happened to the Strawberry Jam story ?

[ithildyn]

Yeah, they have minds of their own. And in the sequel, they're even more unhappy. I have some ideas for the third bit, but goodness knows when I'll get around to writing it!

I liked the Amanda bit too. I don't get to write her too often, so it was fun.

I try and keep my personal feelings for Duncan separate from my characters feelings [g] Does that make sense?

Back when we first started writing these, there were like six of us writing them. M was the one who wrote the first story in the series that introduced Methos, but she never posted it publicly. It has the strawberry jam scene [g]

Thanks for requesting this one! It was fun :)

I'm terrible at giving feedback, amn't I? You'd think that someone who wrote some much would be better!

[ithildyn]

Huh? Where did that come from? [suffers mental whiplash] [g]
