Joining in on the fun with [livejournal.com profile] elrhiarhodan, [livejournal.com profile] angelita26 and [livejournal.com profile] embroiderama.

Go to my Masterlist (or AO3 page) and pick a passage from my stories, up to 500 words, and comment to this post with that selection (including a link to the story being excerpted will be very helpful). Alternatively, you can randomly pick a number from 1 to 27, my fic as numbered my AO3 account page. Be advised my AO3 is missing some of the fic you can find on my LJ Masterlist.

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's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the story, awful puns [perhaps], and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track. You can ask me anything - character motivation, writing process, or if you disagree with the direction I took in a story, ask me to defend it.

Oooh, can I have some commentary on #13?

#13! Assuming I didn't count wrong, that's At the Closing of the Year.

Someone, you know who you are, writes this amazing historical AU that is so rich and well-developed. It inspired me to give it a whirl for a time period and place I'm a bit more familiar with.

I knew right away that NYC should be the place, and after thinking on it for a bit, I decided that that period of time when the police department was first forming would be really interesting for a variety of reasons including the opportunity to make Peter one of the first Copper Stars with a beat around the infamous Five Points. There's lots of possibility in that. And, Neal, well who better to play the role of Irish rogue with all sorts of not so legal skills.

I really do have plans to write a larger story, with a case to solve and with other WC characters added to the mix, including Keller who of course will play the role of and Irish gang leader and Neal's rival.

I really had no clue that I'd be so lucky to pick a story you wrote for me. And one of my favorites.

I so do hope that maybe I'll get another snippet around the holidays.

Thank you!

Maybe not the holidays, but eventually I WILL write this fic.
