Hello, and welcome to the Special Edition Writer's Commentary of "Hollow." This is kind of like watching a movie with the director's commentary turned on. This details the motivations and inspirations behind the fic, as well as some behind-the-scenes information.

As always, inspiration. Several things pulled together that prompted me to write this fic. I read "The Hollow Men" as a dramatic interpretation for my English class, and it really got me thinking about that poem again. It's very dark. One of the 31_days prompts for Oct 06 really meshed with it--"Every day is the end of the world." So that's where I started... The date that Tomoyo is writing is actually the date of the prompt. My little amusement.

Welcome to the Special Edition Writer's Commentary version of "Apple." This is like watching a movie with the director's commentary turned on. Motivations, inspirations, and behind-the-scenes details are nestled within the fic.

First, of course, the inspiration. I knew I'd do all of the theme sets for this community, because it was only writing 250 sentences, and I could do that easily. I looked over the word set, and something about it made me feel Eriol. Fire and some other words made me think Meiling. And I hadn't written an Eriol/Meiling fic in a while, so I decided to go with it. I knew it would be hard to get a relationship going in 50 sentences, but I decided I was up to the challenge.

Another side note is that, strangely enough, four of my five 1sentence fics involve main character death. I'm not sure why this has been on my brain lately, but it has.

Hello, and welcome to the Special Edition Writer's Commentary of "Not a Chance." This is kind of like watching a movie with the director's commentary turned on. It details the motivations and inspirations behind the fic, as well as some behind-the-scenes information.

First, let me mention I wrote this fic in the middle of a fit of writer's block. 30_romances is the hardest comm I've attempted yet-- while some of the prompts were easy, others took forever to accomplish, and for the first time I "cheated" and wrote corrected short ficlets rather than fics at least 100 words. This one is probably the longest one in the series.

As for inspiration, "dice" was the only thing that really jumped out at me for this prompt. Playing games of chance with Eriol wouldn't be any fun, I thought...
