i normally never do tag games but i decided to this one to be #quirky and because two different people tagged me (@wanderingcas (why can't i tag you?) and @beatsheetromanroy).
the game is to put your most recent ten fics and their first lines.
end in blood (2k)
May 2009 Dusty earth moves.
technically two lines but i think i can be forgiven due to the format.
handiwork (1k)
The World thrums.
can i say i like completely forgot i wrote that one. brain so melted.
there's my bloodhound (2k)
Lenore’s knees ache.
i think this is the only one on this list where the pov character is the subject of the first line. maybe one other?
surveil and punish (5k)
“I just wish I could… I need to make you understand.”
it's still kind of crazy to me that i finally finished and published this one after like four years sitting in my drafts. and i'm pretty happy with it, too!
miasma (5k)
Alex is already home.
tight skin (2k)
It is easy to untwist an angel.
one more thing you can do for me (400 words)
“Oh God, I’m Pattinson,” Dean says, looking away from him, and Cas doesn’t know what that means but there is so much anguish there, he just wants to reach out…
wow i've written a lot this year. it feels pretty unreal.
strings (3k)
You pick her because she’s got the look.
got distracted rereading this. i actually really like this one, i always forget. i wasn't expecting to necessarily like it when i wrote it because i'm not always happy with experiments. but i do like it.
lick (100 words)
He runs so hot.
fly fishing (600 words)
“Man, we could really go for another one of those crescent cookies,” the other one says as Mrs. Melina sniffles on your shoulder.
oh i forgot this one too.
anyway some really funny patterns popping up here. i'm addicted to starting my fics either in media res with dialogue or with like plain statements. my main character is only the subject (grammatical subject) in two out of these ten lol.
gonna tag. hmm. not gonna tag people i know have already been tagged. ok. @not-so-superheroine @pregstiel @hawkland @spnregular @an-android-in-a-tutu @suncaptor @davidfosterwallaceandgromit who else do i even know who writes i forget...
