Tuesday and A Meme

[nightdog_barks]

So it is still just about freezing. The high temp today is supposed to be 36 (2.2 Celsius), so maybe some of this ridiculous ice will start to/keep melting. I will now pause while my Canadian friends LAUGH AND LAUGH AT ME for thinking 2.2 C is "cold." :D

I'm still writing, both on Alaska II and on a Christmas Eve story.

The meme, which I saw on Tumblr:

Pick any passage of 500 words or less from any fanfic I’ve written, and stick that selection in a comment. I will then give you the equivalent of 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, and anything else that you’d expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

If anyone would like to give it a try, go for it and I'll do my best. *g*

Wilson Agonistes went straight into my bookmarks I think, because hey, there's a whole year missing, and we didn't get much information about it, and so we need stories like this one to show us what might have happened while the cameras were off.

I think it's a mark of Wilson's lingering sadness here that he writes something so generic and impersonal. :-(

Yep, this. The whole fic has these little touches, conveying sadness directly or indirectly, and the feather is one of them, too, the idea of lifeless remnants of the past.

And oh, I did not recognize the Shawshank reference at the time. That's great, because obviously Moving On had it from the other side of the picture, and it doesn't happen like the movie for House either, who goes back and to prison afterwards. (Which you didn't really know when writing this? In any case, that's a meta level of connection that I like in retrospect.)
