Just finished watching all the Fireflies with commentary, after watching them all in intended order, and now i'm so sad. And thinking that some good Firefly fic might help ease the pain a little. Especially Kaylee/Simon becuase of how they never got to kiss and i'm a big ol' schmoop. sigh. Anybody have any good recs?
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Kaylee/Simon? I'd have to recommend Tara LJC, particularly "That Old Yeh Shen Story" although all of her stuff is excellent.
I'd also check out The Cortex, which is LJC's Firefly rec site -- she's very keen on Simon/Kaylee.

Like I need a hole in my head
Just seconding Shrift's rec, especially for "That Old Yeh Shen Story." But it's not just Simon/Kaylee - I think Tara really nails the feel of the show in her fic.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Phil, the first that comes to mind is Kyra Cullinan's Five Futures Full of Alcohol and Sex (which has a new commentary track I was reading just last night, which made me think of it): B/W, B/X, B/G, and B/A/S.
Second is Wiseacress, who has written a hell of a lot of post-Chosen fic, mostly S/X. Posted in her livejournal, for the most part.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Wow. How much do l love the idea of commentary tracks? I've never seen one done for a fic before, but I love it. I love hearing how an author thinks about his or her work.

It's a new LJ meme. I like the idea, too.

I've enjoyed reading what people have had to say.
Still, it's a nerve-wracking "no one on EARTH will want to see a commentary for one of my things!" meme, the sort that turns otherwise rational people into insecure whingers.
Err, you know. In theory. Not that I'm speaking from experience. Err...

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
Do "Absolution".

Which would be pathetically easy, as I still have all the commented beta versions.
(Like my crisper, my writing directory contains things long past their sell-by date.)
(I probably will, because it had notes and outlines)
