Aw, thanks! I think you're definitely AWESOME. Your fics are always gorgeous.
I love to think that the little things are nods to the eagle-eyed, and sometimes they are! And...lots of times they aren't. The more you learn about real film sets, the more your realize that while some things are planned, and some things are thrown in by the actors, and some things are director brilliance, lots of things are just mistakes or happenstance that we latch onto. Sometimes it's things they threw on without really thinking about it, or just didn't consider long enough. Won't stop us, though! ;)
(Writing, I think, is much better about this. It might be the result of only one author (and a bunch of editors) but they typically seem more in tune with the little things.)
Ha, I really got on that soapbox, didn't I? I'm glad you agree. Some of the methods applied to one art form/medium/etc. can so often be used for other ones, but just aren't, due to value judgements. :( That class just sounds better and better though. And I love pointing out/hearing about the over-analyzing miniscule stuff. Sometimes I wish people would cross-post and save meta the same way they do fic. It's all so interesting.
And I fully encourage saluting!fic! I'd read it! :D
