There was ice this morning. Ice. Brrrrrrrrrrr...

Because being egotistic is good clean fun for the entire family, I've stole this memeage from [livejournal.com profile] jjpor :

Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. 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.

... if you really want to you can grab one of the ones on my lj that hasn't made its way over there yet. But beware, for they are not organized at all.

Thank you very much for taking the time to do such a detailed and considered commentary (instead of just spewing out a load of random waffle like I did! ;D). I really like this fic, as I think I said when I first read it; the alien world and its inhabitants and the nature of the threat are both really well-thought-out, and the bit where Four is all possessed and naked and gone-native is a little bit terrifying, to be honest. But the clincher for me was this ending part, it hit me hard, sappy Romana-shipper that I am, and as I've said before led me directly to put some of my own thoughts about the Time War etc. into writing (for which I am very grateful to you!)

And if you think about it (to go off on a tangent), the idea of the Doctor both starting and ending the Time War (and of things like Genesis and Resurrection and Remembrance actually being Time War stories even if nobody realised it at the time!) is just too perfect; sorry RTD, but it's true! ;D
