I hate being sick

maderrI'm really starting to think something is wrong with that damned store. I almost never get sick, yet twice now I've been seriously ill. I'm going to burn it, I swear.
I'll be hiding in my bed most of the day, seeing as the ice has shut everything down and there's no going anywhere to get anything.

jagen13, just b/c I love this sort of thing:
If you've ever watched your favorite DVDs, and then found yourself eager to hear exactly what the actors, directors, writers and even production designers thought about making the episode, the movie, or whatever - you'll know sometimes the best parts of DVDs are hearing the commentaries. Getting into an actor's feelings about the character they play, getting the background behind a writer's plans and metaphors, even just getting the stupid anecdotal stuff that makes you laugh, it's all good.
Pick a fic I've written, any fic, or even a short story arc, if you like, anything I've done and I'll give you the dvd-style "What the hell was I thinking?" commentary thing--though you might want to specify characters, or storyline, or plot. (You can ask more specific questions as well. Or you can not, and just let me ramble on at will.)

Date: 2004-01-26 11:26 pm (UTC)"What the hell was I thinking," is a good way to put it. I think of all my fics, I like that one least. It gave me hell.
The initial idea actually came from my brother, from whom I begged help b/c I was drawing an utter blank. He's the one that suggested the sword break (I had a choice of sparda, virgil, and alastor. I figured the sword was the easiest). The rest was up to me, and doing my best to stick w/the game I played up the part where Dante actually gets Alastor. Ah - it was also my brother's idea that he look somewhat like Virgil, so that I could "have the sword and the incest." So far as the devotion itself goes, I just played with the fact that Dante seems fond of his weapons - the sword from his father is obvious, but he also named his guns. I figured that fondness could work both ways, and maybe go a bit further.
So far as Alastor himself is concerned, I just didn't want the long haired, silver eyed, delicate bishie boy that I usually see him as in DMC fics. I wanted him sort of like Dante, but less serious.
Overall I guess it worked, but this and my Borus/Percy fic would be a lot better as short series rather than one-shots.
