Meme!
Here, I like this meme, and perhaps you do too?
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 of what I was thinking when I made or wrote it, why I wrote it, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the fic, and anything else you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.
You can find my fic here, or you can look at my fic tag.

Re: dvd meme
That second section: I wanted this story to kind of mix book and movie, and I felt like in the movie, Bert had his own touch of magic, and knew a lot about Mary Poppins. In the second section, I wanted to expand on that idea. So while the first part was about Bert as a young man, falling in love with Mary, and what that resulted in, the second part was about how long they've been together, and how Bert's changed, and gained a sort of magic himself, as a result of it.
I also wanted to convey that while Bert was immortal, thanks to Mary's kiss, he's still an immortal human and he'll never be able to breathe underwater or live in a volcano. Mary Poppins, I think, looks human to humans, but she isn't. I think she looks to other creatures the way they look - so, for example, when she lives under the sea, she looks like a creature of the sea.
This was an idea I got from the books, when all sorts of people (animals, fish, stars, etc) know Mary Poppins. I got the idea of him speaking to the wind, or sending messages with animals from both the books and movies - the wind, of course, is always a big thing with Mary Poppins.
