(NOTE: On LJ there is a poll in this post, but as there doesn't seem to be a poll capability on DW, you'll have to, er, use your imaginations. Heh.)

All righty, enough angst. ;) I'm in the midst of both working on fic and replying to comments, but I've been meaning to put this particular poll up for quite some time, and hey - there's no time like the present, right?

I've seen this on a number of f-list journals, and the basic idea is this: an author takes a fic they've written and basically writes a DVD-style commentary about it. If you've ever listened to the commentary track on a DVD, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. The director (or fic author) discusses why they made the creative choices they did, what inspired a particular scene, what they thought about while filming/writing, etc. There's a movement afoot to write commentaries for fics, and I'm wondering what you guys would think of me doing one (or several). Incredibly, boorishly self-indulgent, or actually somewhat interesting? Below is an informative poll that asks you to decide and, should you vote yes, requests that you pick one or more fics that you'd most like me to provide commentary on.

A few notes with regards to the fics included: 1) I haven't listed either of my works-in-progress. Both Insanity Underrated and the 50-chapter monster are, for the purposes of this exercise, unfortunately off-limits. Because I haven't completed To Ignite the Stars or Insanity Underrated, I have doubts about my ability to reliably comment on them - and in some cases, it would be difficult to do so without mentioning huge spoilers for upcoming plot poins in both. That's not to say I would never write commentaries for these fics, just that I'm not able to do so right now. Maybe in the future! 2) The fics listed in the second part of the poll are the ones I'm willing/able to comment on at the moment. I don't list all the fics I've ever written, partly because ticky-box polls have limited boxes and partly because some of my earlier stuff is so jaw-droppingly bad that I should probably just pull it off the internet altogether. However, if there's a fic not listed here for which you really want to see commentary, do mention it in the comments, and I'll consider it. 3) Commentaries, if I do them, will be posted to padmeonpaper and linked back here, so no worries about missing them. The anal part of me just wants to keep everything organized.

Should I do a fic commentary?
Yes, that would be awesome!
No way, self-promotion sucks!

If yes, for which fic would you like to see my commentary?
The Sound of One Hand Clapping (BSG; Lee/Kara)
In Medias Res (BSG; Kara genfic)
Feeling Good (BSG; Lee/Kara)
Insanity Theory (Star Wars; Obi-Wan/Padmé)
The Promise (Star Wars; Anakin/Obi-Wan)

Any other questions, comments, or other gripes about this exercise? Throw 'em at me in comments and I'll see what I can do. :)
