I tend to think your questions are rather writer-processy, commentary-rich things in themselves.

Well, that's good. It's what I'm getting at in a lot of my posts.

I think the first comm idea would be very difficult for all the reasons stated, as well as the problem of edits and how some of us edit-on-the-fly; would someone like that post every hour they worked on fic?

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to do it. What I am thinking about doing, though, is being the author-of-the-month myself, in my own journal. Just, posting an idea, and throughout the month building on it, writing to piece, to show what I would've wanted to happen with the comm. Because yeah, when to post and show what you've done would be a weird thing for the author, but there are enough times where I pause when I'm writing, and suddenly want to share, that I think there could be a steady flow.

Also, something alairzin_nyc mentioned above which I totally forgot, is I got this idea original from femmenerd, when she was writing her fanmix fic. She had a comm set up so betas and stuff could see what she was doing as she did it, and it was just really on the fly--whatever she did on it, she posted. It was *so* fun to see what she was doing.

Yeah, I hate most dvd commentaries for movies, though I love the *idea* of them. I can't believe how many of them are like, narrating the plot, or telling really random stories about so-and-so, instead of getting into the nitty gritty of how the lighting in that moment is an expression of the theme, or something, you know?

I think we're learning something interesting about process from our little experiment, as well.

Oh, yeah, definitely! Which reminds me, I really owe you a reply. And, other stuff. God, I'm such a slacker.
