I'm so amazed by all the meta that very brief gifset gave rise to!
Someone in their intro post wrote about the novel that "more is more" and that really is where I am at with it. More content! And some insight into what the actors read (other than the script) to give the performance they did.
Thank you so much for the sweet words about my story - I really appreciate you taking the time to share that you thought it was cute and fluffy! ♥
And I can digest the different interpretations better in fic form sometimes than in a straight-up meta discussion. Oh, I'm the same, absolutely! And it also feels that with fic you can try things out that you're not 100% convinced are absolutely right or the only true answer, but because it's fic there's always the what if...?. I feel a lot of meta discussion draw much harder lines? People there share what they feel actually happened or what things actually mean, whereas again, in fic it's just one possibility?
Sometimes I'm surprised by what comes out in fic! And sometimes it ends up being an interpretation or angle I feel strongly about, but sometimes it's just a fun thing that I put in a story...
I like that there are things left unexplained so that they're open to interpretation. I certainly think this is one of the reasons Guardian is so much fun to write and read fic for!
No need to apologise for long comments! I love chatting... though there are a lot of comments right now, so I'm afraid I might be losing track a bit.
