2009 DVD Commentary Challenge
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
Your missions, should you choose to accept it, is to pick another author's story and write a DVD commentary on it. Cutting and pasting the rules, since really, why reinvent the wheel?
*****
The rules are slightly different from the normal DVD commentary. This is a commentary on another author's work.
The Rules
1.) Any fandom and any pairing or lack of pairing thereof is welcome.
2.) More than one person can do a DVD commentary on the same story.
3.) You must have author permission. I want this as fun, not as trauma. You can call a story first if you're worried about getting it before someone else does, but permission is a must for the challenge.
4.) Deadline for submissions is 10/1/2009, 11:59 PM CST. There is no deadline for sign-up.
5.) There is no limit on the number of commentaries you can do.
6.) All commentaries are hosted at (or at least linked to),dvd_commentary. I'd prefer posting directly to the community. If you want to post it to your lj as well, I only ask you wait until 10/7/2009 to give it a minimum of a week up at the comm.
7.) You can post your commentaries to the community as soon as you wish.
