So I have often wondered, on the rare occasion I have encountered Evita fic, why it tends to be obtuse and confusing. As it turns out, this is because if you even try to interpret this shit literally enough to write a straightforward fic, you will tie yourself in knots so fast your brains will leak right out.

Which is all by way of saying that the fic you will find below the cut is kind of experimental for me; I'm of a fairly literal turn of mind and tend not to deal in extended metaphor, so writing this was new and different. It's Perón/Che, with Che playing less the role of a real character and more the meta construct he is in the play. I have no idea if it works or not. Let me know?

(Oh, and the first line is on account of Argentina being in the southern hemisphere. August = winter.)



( It's dark and cold in Perón's office, with the August chill winning out over the failing fire. Perón has been at his desk for some time, ostensibly working, though the document in front of him remains untouched. )

Today during discussion of Jude the Obscure, my professor compared Arabella to the ending of Drag Me to Hell. ♥

In other news: Look, a meme that has nothing to do with RP!

Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

Answers will vary depending on the passage, my attention span, and the age of the fic. The much older stuff (like, the stuff that's so old that I have it in my memories because tags didn't exist yet) is unlikely to get good answers.
