Question?

[oneiriad]

So, what if I claimed intermittent attacks of boredom and ennui as of late and thought it might be fun to do a dvd commentary or two for some of my (non-WIP) fics? Would anybody like to pick fic for me to commentary-ize?

Now that was a blast from the past. 6 years is a looooong time, actually.

Ooh! Do the Vampire!Sherlock one!


(Of course, the one I'd really love to see the commentary for is the Winchester Edda - there's so much under the surface of it, and it's brilliant - but that is a WIP. So.)

And the thing is, if I was going to do a commentary on the Winchester Edda right here and now - I'd probably wind up spoiling the last two-three chapters completely and utterly and then, why write them? Which I should be busily doing, instead of doing a meme, but, you know...

Thank you! *beams*

I figured that was why the no-wip rule. But if, after you've finished it, you ever do this meme again....

I just might do the meme again at some point - in the meantime, I might be persuaded to answer one question about the WEdda, if you have a such - if you can live with the spoiler potential - and as long as you promise not to tell a living soul (zombies are alright, though ;-)

If I can have only one (I can have one! Joy! And yet, agony! But mostly joy!)... Sleipnir. Fenrir, Hel, and Jormundandr, yes, but I've never before seen a fic with Sleipnir. And he was amazing in this. So. What made you think of him?/what thoughts formed your portrayal of his character?

[oneiriad.livejournal.com]

A while ago (before even thinking of the idea for this fic) I started thinking about Sleipnir, about how it's kind of strange that unlike he's monstrous halfsiblings, nobody in the myths or most of the modern reinterpretations ever seem to consider, that as at least half Jotun (a species who seem to consider things like bodyshape to be pretty much optional), with a mother that's the shapeshifter to beat all shapeshifters, Sleipnir must surely be a sentient being in his own right. He's always just treated as a horse. A marvellous horse, yes, but still, just a horse.

I knew he was going to be in the scene with Loki's closest family confronting Sam, I knew I was going to make let him make a crack about Loki being his mom, defusing the situation a little - and somehow he kind of became a bigger part, because it occurred to me that out of all of Loki's kin, he'd be the one most capable of understanding the sheer fucked-up-ness of Sam's situation, the sheer horror of being a vessel, because while all of Loki's children got bound or jailed or flat out hurt or killed, then Sleipnir was the only one who had to actually cooperate in his own captivity, allowing a rider to mount him, even letting them take his child away for their purposes...
