Big! Bang! Preview! -- dvd_commentary -- TS Eduardo

I want to thank everyone who voted in yesterday's poll. The trailer style preview won by a landslide, so I wound up going with that one (although I might do something with the Slighty Sinister Corporate Welcome Packet at a later date ;)

So! The preview for my [community profile] sgabigbang fic is officially up over at the comm. Check it out! I, er, spent maybe a teensy bit too much time on it.




I also wholeheartedly suggest checking out all of the other previews that have been put up. They all sound so very awesome. I just cannot wait for next week to get here. I have little doubt that the Big Bang will live up to its name.


I've also offered up my all of my fic over at [community profile] dvd_commentary, which looks like an awesomely fun idea. I haven't had a chance to read through any of the commentaries yet, but I know several authors have signed up (including [personal profile] sholio, [personal profile] naye, [personal profile] xparrot, [personal profile] leesa_perrie, [profile] jadesfire2808, and [personal profile] kristen999). I think I want to sign up for a commentary or two myself, but I don't know if I'll have time yet, and don't want to commit until I know for sure.

I just love the thought of extended commentary/discussions on fanfic in general. If it sounds like your thing, I believe they're still accepting both authors and commentators.

Finally, I'm a wimp, and decided to stay home today rather than be adventurous and risk driving home in the middle of TS Eduardo this evening. I know, I know, playing Russian Roulette with street/highway flooding is fun, but I thought, "hey, if the General floods out, it's not like I can go back to my old car", so, at least for today, caution is the better part of valor.

My rapidly dwindling personal time (stupid mystery bug) doesn't thank me, but oh well. I've done the "drive home in tropical storm" routine before, and I'd rather be trapped in my home than trapped outside of it.

I haven't checked out the BigBang site, but I certainly will later today.

On the DVD commentary - how does that work exactly? I saw a post with a list of fics and "claims", so I assume you can't just randomly take someone's fic and post a DVD commentary on the site? Argh, never mind, I followed your link. No questions. *still in Twilight stupor*

I read a couple of commentaries and oh yes, that is fun reading. I ... maaaaay ... sign up. Not sure yet.

(Good luck with Eduardo!)

The Big Bang is shaping up to be awesome. I think my fic reading schedule is going to be full for months (heck, I haven't caught up from [livejournal.com profile] sga_genficathon yet)

No questions. *still in Twilight stupor*

*pats*

Eduardo is currently merrily watering the lawn, the garden, the streets, and everything in between, as well as occasionally knocking out our satellite. He's having a merry old time -- but he's behaved himself thus far. It looks like it's breaking up now that it's officially made landfall? I'm more concerned about the flooding at this point than the winds. Houston has a charming habit of becoming a lake when we get dumped with a heavy amount of rain.

The commenataries are not due till October which is why I signed up..hehe. That way if I liked it, I had time to do more than one which of course I said I'd do two (whoops)! But it'll make me keep an eye on the calender that's for sure.

Think one shots :-P

October I might be able to do! I have an idea of which one I might do, just need to re-read it and refresh myself on how commentaries work.

If I'm signing up for this I'm thinking dry runs and betas!

Okay, I joined the community. That's a start. *g*
