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.
Mighty fine shindig.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
It's a new LJ meme. I like the idea, too.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
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.

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)

My writing commentary for just about any of my stories would go something like:

I went ahead and annotated one of my fics and posted it on my live journal.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Huh. This meme sounds like, well it sounds like a marvelous opportunity for self-aggrandizement, or a marvelous opportunity for self-flagellation, depending on who tries it out.
I guess I'm pleasantly surprised at the restraint I've seen in the commentaries I have seen thus far.
