THE FANFICTION LOVE MEME

I would just like to asser, due to some of the comments on this fic, that I have a lot of sympathy for Sophia, and that I disapprove of character bashing in all forms. It's just that, as far as I'm concerned, character-bashing is portraying a character in a negative light who is not portrayed as such in canon. And in canon... Sophia is a cold-hearted bitch. Possibly I went a bit OTT, but due to the nature of the fic it would be kind of hard to sympathise with Arthur and Merlin were she anything else.

And now, meme. Stolen from acetamide.
The DVD Commentary Meme

Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection [Note: Please include the title/fandom & a link wouldn't be bad if it's something older]. 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 fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

(Preferably not anything in the 'old Merlin fic' folder in my memories, though, cause that stuff is like a year old and really shit.)

❶ Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
➋ Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
➌ Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
➍ This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.



RONNICUS EXPLODICUS. THIS IS MY ICON! ...That's why it doesn't get used very much. >_> And I suspect this shall confuse a lot of people...



Jethro <3. I also decided to use this one because he looks kind of bored... so it's good for matching with the tone of entries. : D



...This is my favorite icon in all the land. : O Partly because it was made with the absolutely beautiful cover for Charmed Life which makes me wish I could go out and buy it again (which would be stupid cause I have it already in an uglier cover) and partly because I'd been hunting for a Diana Wynne Jones icon for so long. It just seemed so stupid to have icons for all my fandoms except that one...



Hat <3. I love the hat. I needed an icon of it. I actually used a different one that was very similiar for a while, but then I realised I'd completely forgotten who made it, so... I found another one that I could actually sucessfully credit for.
Did I mention that I love the hat? I have two icons of it, look.



As of later today this will be my only Firefly icon. >_> I'm taking out my other one to make room. And keeping this one because it's my 'W.T.F.' icon.



I am pre-emptively an eleventh Doctor fan. : D And of all the icons people made with the really scarce pictures, this was my favorite. Makes him look less emo than all the others did. >_<

...Initially I mistyped 'hot' as 'hor', which alters the meaning slightly.
