Because I'm bored while my other is sitting an exam and, on the lovely wendymr's prompting...

Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what'

This!

They slip between moments, her and the Doctor, as easily as a man crosses a street and it’s impossible, keeping track of time when all of it exists at your fingertips

Hello, self! Good to see you again!

No, no, no, Dave, we're supposed to pretend we're different people, remember?

Oh...

You do remember how this works, don't you?

Oh yes, yes. You ask me question - about my family and stuff - and I pretend you're a stranger and you don't already know!

Uh, yeah. Kind of...

So, ask away!

Erm, no, we're not doing that this time.

We're not?

Nope!

So what are we doing?

Did you not read the meme instructions, Dave?

Of course I... no. No, I didn't. Do you still love me?

No.

...I'm telling our therapist!

Dave, we don't have one.

Well, obviously we need one! I don't want this relationship to-

DVD commentary, Dave. We're supposed to be writing a DVD commentary for the fic snippet Wendy's left us!

But-!

Now.

Okay, okay... Oh, I remember this!

You do?

Oh, yes! That's when Harry and Herm-

Dave!

What?

You haven't written and Harry Potter fanfic -(Oh

Okay...that made me wibble, I'll admit.

“It’s alright,” the Doctor says, rubbing the top of his head and offering the flustered mother his trademark grin

I'm fascinated by what's left unsaid in that sentence. my other is sitting an exam", My other half? Other personality? (Presumably not one of the ones arguing with itself in the comment to Wendy? We know Dave and Chris, is this 7?) Or perhaps just The Other?

:P I'm sure she'll be brilliant at the exam.

Ok. So I'm tempted to try to demand commentary on 5 drabbles that add up to the specified word limit. But...

From chapter 5 of the tragically abandoned "Of Cowards and Killers"

Her voice is a whisper but it still slices through him

[wendymr]

Ooh! I want to know about this one too seeing as I nagged him non-stop for about six months to finish it!

I'll go for the L&C version if you're up to the task . . . *g*
