sonjajadeName one of my fics in comments (or a scene from one of them) and I will (try to) tell you what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the characters' 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.
I'm a little afraid of what I will be asked, but I will be brave XD

Date: May 5th, 2011 12:58 am (UTC)The second one was about Ed being a racist jerk to Ling and Lan Fan who were exchange students, but I couldn't seem to write an appropriate ending. I finished that and posted it somewhere... hmmm, maybe over at fma_fiction? It was called This One Time in Algebra Class.
By the time I got to this one, I think I only had 1 or 2 days to get the entry in, so I realized I was complicating everything (because I've never been great at writing an outline and sticking to it). I thought it would be easier if I remembered something happening from my own high school experience, that way I wouldn't have the problem of not being able to end it. Sadly I couldn't think of anything good enough. So I thought of something cliche'.
The part about Ed being hung like a horsefly: When I was a senior, we used to go every other week up to the Baxter Avenue Theaters and watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show (with the stage actors!) and the guy who hosted it the first time I went made some joke about being hung like a horse.... fly. For whatever reason, that part has always stuck out in my mind lol.
The part about Ed begging Mustang not to tell his mother, this part actually happened to me. When I was in the 7th grade, I got caught making out in the cafeteria (actually it was more like he was feeling me up and leaving hickies on my neck...). OMG the dude looked like a young Han Solo! Anyway, I hear the 7th grade counselor's voice boom across the cafeteria "SONJA JADE! HAN SOLO! GO TO MY OFFICE NOW!!!" (names have obviously been changed XD)
So we get to his office and his secretary makes us sit out in the hall on this bench. While we're sitting there, Mr. Solo decides we should pick up where we left off and I told him HELL NO. Anyway, the counselor comes down and we go into his office and we get a lecture and he says he has to call our parents. I plead with him PLEASE DON'T CALL MY DAD. So he called and talked to my mother. When she came to get me (I was sent home on a three day suspension DOH!) She wallops me upside the head and tears into me like a rabid badger! Now I'm TERRIFIED of what my dad's going to do. but when I told him, he was calm, wasn't really all that mad, and after that I resolved to just stay out of trouble (or at least not get caught).
Dear god I've written a book here XD
