I love looking at your Visions posts anyway, but it is a real fascination to open it knowing that something of mine is going to be there, and to wonder which passage you picked and what you saw when reading it. Honestly, it's so exciting! And oh, what a fabulous image of Bodie on mine. *falls over happily*
But I promise, I didn't whizz down looking for that. I just paged through, almost cautiously, trying to make sure I couldn't see anything of the next story-and-picture pair until I had had a chance to absorb the previous one. And, since they obviously weren't in order, trying to guess the story from the quote :)
They're all fascinating, so this is only a couple of thoughts.
I knew unbelievable2's straight away, because that particular passage and quote is one that appealed to me immediately, too. I love Doyle's shades on solosundance's: they match how Bodie really can't be sure of Doyle's reaction all the way through. The one for halotolerant's is brilliant and is now going to overlay my mental image when I re-read it, and the one for angel_ci5's is pretty much what I saw too - wow. I wouldn't have thought of Kickback for merentha13's, but ooh, yes, the expression, perfect! (and with bonus arms too :)) And well done on finding an image with appropriate costume for krisserci5's, too. Oh dear, I could go on and on, so I had better stop.
Thank you so much for sharing what you see when you read! It is fascinating, and I love the way fanworks and discussion inspire each other and snowball.
Well thank *you* so much for that and for crediting me with much more thought than I remember having! e.g. the shades on Doyle for JoJo's story weren't deliberately chosen....originally I'd wanted to use an image from the beginning of Where the Jungle Ends, at the airport when Bodie spots Benny, but my screencap was really crappy, even when I used the blu ray version, it just looked so pale and insipid and I wasn't happy with what I thought was a great scene which I was determined to use. In truth, this time I found several of the stories fairly difficult to match an image to and almost gave up a couple of times.... perhaps a couple were obvious and had several scenes I could mentally illustrate e.g. PFL's and Unbelievable's, but most of the others were hard, despite loving the stories, so I'm very pleased you approve and in particular that you like your own story and the choice I made. I think I remember reading the 'stars' scene and thinking of Bodie's image, or perhaps images of them in cars at night, but I've used that kind of picture more often than I'd like to admit. And that's another problem - trying to use images which I haven't used too many times before! So that's why I bought the blu ray vids as I thought it might give me more material to play around with.
I've changed my mind on what I wrote originally...Krisser's was pure luck in having a copy of Sherlock Holmes which was begging to be used! Angel's, again I'd wanted to use the scene from Close Quarters when Bodie is first staking out the German terrorist outside a little cottage, but I just couldn't get the image right. And Halo's image....that one's been begging to be used for ages and I was more than happy to oblige! Thank you so much for having the interest to mention individual choices, it's fun for me to look back on the whys and what ifs of the choices made.

Hopefully, that's my final edit.....
