DVD meme!

Look at me, stealing this idea from everyone ever! But whatever, it's cool.

Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from any fanfic I've written [and include a link to the story], and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet...

All my fic can be found at my masterlist/header ( Read more... )

It is cruel of me and also masochistic but I want this:

“Like you care, traitor,” Sirius hears, calm and biting, and for once he doesn’t react. Regulus is right: he is a traitor. Not to his mother or his father, of course, but to the blood that courses through his veins, the blood that pours from his brother’s mouth. He wonders at the sticking power of such things, the power of blood to trap him, always, in places he doesn’t want to be, but then Regulus is curling his upper lip and leaning close, so Sirius doesn’t wonder anymore ( ... )

Mmmm. So, I wrote this fic in two pieces--the section in which this bit lies, and then literally everything else. There was about a four month gap between the two, and I'd all but forgotten about this fic when I found it. And when I say "all but forgotten" I mean: I opened the document and went, fuck, I wrote this?

The line that assured me that I had not, in fact, copied this from somewhere and stored it in a word document during a fit of amnesia was the salinity bit, which I remembered writing.

If I'm honest with myself? This is one of my favorite piece of writing I've done in HP, mostly because it was so beyond my scope as a writer when I produced it. Everything after was better, and I don't know where this came from, but I do know it radically changed my writing...for the better, I like to think.

GAH, INCEST. HELLO AGAIN, IT HAS BEEN AWHILE SINCE I WROTE YOU.

It was a hard decision - Between Another Saturday Night and this elrhiarhodan May 12 2010, 01:07:32 UTC

They draw the kiss out so long that by the time El breaks away Peter is licking more than biting, and the loss of contact draws a soft mewling moan out of Neal, one he's never heard himself make before. "Fucking hell, Neal," Peter snaps, in response, and Neal barely has time to worry that his tone means he's done something wrong before he's being grabbed by the hair and hauled up to Peter's mouth ( ... )

Okay so. True story: I wrote this ENTIRE fic in an AIM chat with purple_chalk. It was the second thing I wrote in this fandom, following the true/false thing THAT I ACTUALLY TITLED THIS TRUE/FALSE THING because I couldn't come up with anything better. But I think I'd seen like 6 eps when I wrote Ruin a Suit, and the thing I couldn't get over was the fucking power dynamic.

This was also, for the record, the first threesome I ever attempted to portray, relationship-wise and sexually.

As such, I was--and am--ABSURDLY proud of the result. Peter with his hand wrapped around Neal's tie was the first image that came to me, and it still comes to me every time I write these three. And I was terrified of this part specifically, the transition between locations--it wasn't something I was particularly good at, in porn.

Allow me to rephrase: there wasn't much I was particularly good at with porn before I wrote this. I'd never pushed myself in that regard before, and it was a real pleasure to discover that it was something I could do. I credit most of the ( ... )

You had to expect that I would pick part of Into the Fire, didn't you?

"I seriously didn't need to see this," Mozz said. He wanted to turn away but--but couldn't. He was weak in the face of temptation. He had fallen to the sheer sexual magnetism of his own personal Adonis, damn the Greeks and all their tragedies ( ... )

It is hilarious that you picked this bit, because it was easily the hardest part of this fic to write. Every other scene came clearly to me, and I knew I needed to have a scene where Moz walked in on Neal doing something strange sans clothing, but it took me forever to figure out what. As such, I was terrified that this scene's dialogue would come off sounding forced, and was SO relieved when people seemed to find it acceptable.

Additionally? I cannot look over this fic without hearing the truly incredible audiofic in my head. Thank you again--it continues to fill me with glee :D

speccygeekgrrl May 12 2010, 04:27:28 UTC

It definitely didn't sound forced at all, I love the bantery quality and how Neal is just doing it to be a pain in Mozzie's ass. xD

\o/! I'm delighted that it still makes you happy! It was a lot of fun to do, that's for sure. :D

I had a hard time choosing from my favorite two parts of this story but I'll choose this one:

Stupid is as stupid does

It is their ritual, after, to fuck in front of whatever Neal's stolen. It had been Kate's idea, the first time, and Neal had found it disgusting and debasing and achingly hot. They've come together in front of rare manuscripts and rarer paintings, on piles of currency and forged bonds. She never looks more alive, more with him, than these times ( ... )

One of my favorite fics ever: Insomnia's Net WorthPeter woke suddenly, starting with it. He couldn't...quite...remember--a vague image of the man who had shot him was already slipping out of his mental focus, like smoke. Instinctively, he glanced first to his left, where El usually slept, before recalling that she was still in Boston for that gala ( ... )
