I used to enjoy doing these back in the day I wrote lots of 'Buffy' fic, so here's my author's notes/director's commentary on my latest Silmarillion fic.

A lot of the ideas here are my own worldbuilding; I've tried to make sure I point out where I'm using Tolkien's ideas from 'History ( Read more... )

And here's the final Joss Whedon 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' DVD commentary transcript, for 'The Harvest'.

Spoiler Warning; Joss recorded this commentary in 2000, and it contain major spoilers for Seasons 1-4 of 'Buffy' and Season 1 of 'Angel'.

( Commentary on 'The Harvest' )

Many years ago - about five, actually, I started a project of transcribing all the commentaries on the 'Buffy' DVDs made by Joss Whedon. Today, confounding the rumours that I never finish any projects, I'm posting the last two remaining; 'Welcome to the Hellmouth' and 'The Harvest'. \o ( Read more... )

Hi! It's only been over a month since I last posted anything at all, and over three since I posted fic. But guess what I have now? A multi-part 21,642-word new installment of Hiywan's Story, that's what. I'm planning to post two chapters a day to avoid overloading people's friends pages, but the story is 100% complete and written. \o/ (You may ( Read more... )

About three years ago I began a project of transcribing Joss's commentaries from the 'Buffy' DVDs, starting with 'Chosen' and working backwards. I never did do all of them, but with this post, I'm drawing a little bit nearer my goal. :) This is the commentary from 'Innocence', notable for Joss's thoughts on rocket launchers, Tony Head's lack of ( Read more... )

And now for something completely different. Over the last year or two I've been transcribing the audio commentaries on the 'Buffy' DVDs. (You can find the rest through my 'buffy dvd commentary' tag). I started this one a while ago, but now I've finished it: the commentary for 'Hush'.

As usual, scene-setting information by me is in brackets, and I've ( Read more... )

It's been quite a while since I did a fic commentary. Of course, a lot of my recent fics have been either parody or pornographic, and doing a blow-by-blow commentary on porn might get a bit embarrassing. :-)  But on Saturday I wrote a Willow - Kennedy relationship fic, Parallel Lines, and I thought it would be fun to go through it here and explain ( Read more... )

For those of you who missed my original post, it's here. I did graphics for half a dozen of my 'Buffy' fics, in the form of movie posters. In this meta, I'm going to talk a little bit more about each poster; why I did it that way, what choices I made, and what it's meant to represent.

For all the posters, I tried to capture the appropriate mood and ( Read more... )

Here's another in one of my very, very occasional series of transcripts of the official commentaries from the 'Buffy' DVDs - or in this case, from the 'Angel ' DVDs. It's an exception because I was given a specific request to make this the next commentary I transcribed - so here it is ( Read more... )

Last week I posted my first 'Buffy' vid for over a year. Link  And now I'm going to give you all a Director's Commentary on it, whether you want me to or not. :-)

Also, I should point out that this post does not contain a single reference to Season 8 or comics. Except for this paragraph itself, recursively enough.

As I explained in the original post ( Read more... )
