interview meme

1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favourite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.

2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.

3. You WILL update your LJ with the answers to the questions.

4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.

5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.

I will not ask anything too personal, like your real name or your home address.

Star Wars fic: "What is Lost" deleted scenes to distract limmenel

When I wrote "What is Lost", I did something that I've never really done before for any other story: I threw out almost eight thousand words of text for the final version. I also wrote multiple versions of very nearly every scene in there, and I wrote a number of scenes that never showed up in the story. With WiL, I wrote what I call "concept writing" -- writing with no particular aim in mind, just trying to see where the characters and the setting takes me -- much like the concept art done for the movies. What this means is that I have a lot of scenes just sitting around on my hard drive -- and for a shock, actually on the hard drive of this computer, since I moved them over here before I left for Brown -- that aren't bad, they just didn't fit into the story for whatever reason.

For reference, the main text of "What is Lost" is here.
