sheenianni, who got it from veleda_k. It’s a variation on the DVD Commentary meme I love so much.
Give me the title of a fic I've written, and the numbers of the questions you answers for.
1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?
2: What scene did you first put down?
3: What's your favorite line of narration?
4: What's your favorite line of dialogue?
5: What part was hardest to write?
6: What makes this fic special or different from all your other fics?
7: Where did the title come from?
8: Did any real people or events inspire any part of it?
9: Were there any alternate versions of this fic?
10: Why did you choose this pairing for this particular story?
11: What do you like best about this fic?
12: What do you like least about this fic?
13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn't listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?
14: Is there anything you wanted readers to learn from reading this fic?
15: What did you learn from writing this fic?
Here is my Masterlist and it's up-to-date. So pick your fave and ask me a few questions
If you want to play along, here's the code:

9: Were there any alternate versions of this fic?
Hmmm, when I originally worked out the idea, Peter and Neal had never met again - Peter just got the email with slightly more explicit instructions. I found that too sad.

Date: 2015-12-16 01:07 pm (UTC)The relationship between Peter and Elizabeth - loving but not romantic. The relationship between Elizabeth and Neal - they are family and they do everything they can for each other. The relationship between Neal and Peter - distrust turning into respect.
14: Is there anything you wanted readers to learn from reading this fic?
No, I don't think so. Some stories involve a lot of research or give me a chance to pass on some bit of obscure knowledge, but not this one.
Thank you for asking about a favorite fic.

Date: 2015-12-17 01:51 am (UTC)I'm actually giving you both narration and dialogue:
It was really too much fun having Neal here, making him do all sorts of household chores. Like domesticating a feral kitten. "Just one more handful and we're done." He scooped out the last of the muck in the gutter and tossed it down. Neal had anticipated his aim and took one step to the left. The mess landed neatly in the bag.
Peter climbed down and grinned, "Impressive. Maybe we should sign you up for the FBI's softball league next spring."
Neal just glared at him.
"What, you don't like playing sports?"
"I'm not a fan of indentured servitude."
"But you are a fan of bespoke suits and silk ties. You'd have to trade them in for orange jumpsuits if you went back to prison for the next four years."
"How long are you going to hold that over me?"
Peter didn't bother to disguise his glee, "Until it stops getting a reaction."
13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn't listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?
I tend to listen to the same thing over and over and over again when I'm writing - so it's a safe bet to say that Philip Glass' soundtrack to "The Hours" was playing the the background. There's something about that music that really enables my writing.
