Commentary: Never Have I Ever

[hjcallipygian]

Several humans on my Friends List have done fic commentaries lately, wherein they take the story and (usually in red) throw in comments explaining why something was done, favorite parts, etc. I really like reading them, and it looks fun, and it takes a lot less time than actually writing something new but still gives off the impression that I'm

I would STILL kill to be in Faith's shoes in this one. To have Giles or ASH or, you know, anyone hot, British, and vocally-inclined singing in my ear would have me all kinds of melted.

Humans have commented on the rules to this game of Never Have I Ever; apparently, it's played such that, if one hasn't done the thing, one must drink. Except that leads to negative action in the story -- it would be Xander not drinking, and Dawn not drinking, that would be the surprise. If at all possible, a writer always wants positive action in the story. That's why the Scoobies play it wrong. That, and (meta reason) they all had messed-up childhoods so don't know any better. =)

I've always played it closer to the way you describe in the fic (although usually we play that one has to not have done what one says). But then I've never actually drank anything while playing, so I guess I'm all nontraditional.

I've never played it. *drink*

Heh. No, I somehow missed out on a lot of those games growing up -- spin the bottle, never have I ever, etc. The only one I ever played was truth or dare.
