Ever Wonder?

Okay, I need a bit of a break from writing, so we're doing something different. A lot of writers have been doing these wonderful little "DVD extra" type commentaries. Um, yeah, I know I'm not that interesting when writing about writing, so I figured I'd do it a little different. If you have a question about any of my stories, why I included certain points or how I write, ask here. I'll give an honest answer.

The fanfic 100 thing happened just by accident. I had just finished writing "Survival," which is the short version of Recovery Epic. Then someone posted a link and complained that we weren't as obsessed as other fans because very few Sentinel topics were taken. I went over there to get Jim/Blair (but someone else had it), so I took Blair. When I looked at the prompts, it struck me that Sunrise/Too Much/Too Little fit Survival, and that I could edit to make Sunset and Sixth Sense fit too. So, knowing that the original story would fall 1/3 of the way through, I backed up to the beginning and started writing. I have to tell you it was the most nerve wracking of all my stories because I never knew from one chapter to another where the hell I was going. I still could live without parts (like the Sanchez cycle), but other parts still hit me in my gut (the Color Crucible). I swear, I don't know where half those words came from because I just rode the wave.
