Wtf: Author's Note for Black Edelweiss: Chapter Seven

[black_sluggard]

I'm sharing this tidbit in a separate post so as the preserve the narrative integrity of my fic (yeah, right).

Over a year ago, when I wrote "Roach Motel" for the first ficathon, my sister was a big fan of the movie The Producers. Her favorite scene was the opening of the play, "Springtime For Hitler", with Torchwood's John Barrowman in the SS uniform (around 1:09ish, in the video below). We both agreed that he was disturbingly attractive.

One conversation about blue eyes and uniform fetishes later (the former I blame on roachstar's layout of ryanandesposito), the core concept was born around which the entire Zeitgeist 'verse was built: finding some context in which it would make sense to dress Kevin Ryan as a Nazi.

Which is pretty certifiable all on it's own, but there you go.

I HAVE A SAUSSAGE ON MY HEAD.
YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.

Hey, you know, I like to think writing is like a relationship. It doesn't matter where you find the appetite, as long as you eat at home. Which is to say that it matters now where your muse finds inspiration, as long as you can channel it into a story.

I just love tracking the meta process of my ideas. It's fun to be able to look at the results, then look at the initial spur and be able to laugh.
