Meme - caving to peer pressure:
Pick a paragraph (or any passage between... let's say 200 and 600 words) from anything I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.
Re: I had a real difficulty picking this particular one out...

I know in the 18th century they had this thing about not lying flat to sleep, that it was somehow bad for you. I've toured a bunch of 18th century houses in the States, and they all have these absurdly short beds.
I know Captains did occasionally bring their wives on board, but I haven't found anything on how the sleeping arrangements worked... and in terms of the loblolly girls, it's not like you need to lie side by side, either.. :)
