lol i asked this same question on instagram THE ATLANTA CRITTERS WANT U BAD FAM

I WANT TO GO TO YOU MY DARLINGS

Rules: List the first lines of the last ten (10) stories you published.   Look to see any patterns you notice yourself, and see if anyone else notices any. Then tag some friends.

And I’m just going to tag anyone who’s in the mood and is in the mood to analyze some of their own writing!

1. Johnny taps on the door pretty soon after everything quiets down. (all some children do is work, Killjoys, gen, 3k)

2. yo I’m in spain hear you are too hit me up if you want (if you could redirect my day, Ted Lasso, Roy/Jamie/Keeley, 11k)

3. “He loves her. The Marshal.” (Some Place Better Than Where You’ve Been, Leverage, Parker/Hardison/Eliot(& Team), 4k)

4. In the city of Tyne, there are two pots of spaghetti sauce simmering on stovetops. (a phenomenon no one can explain, The Campaign of Five Dragons, Valira/Haoti, 18k)

5. “We can’t really get married,” Parker says one night, and is really sorry she can’t see Hardison’s face in the dark, because he definitely drops something. (and we’ll take it slow, Leverage, Parker/Hardison/Eliot, 600)

6. “We need a dog.” (we would stay away from crowds, Leverage, Parker/Hardison/Eliot, 300)

7. She has, in the fifty years and more she has been building her position here, heard of the Fairy of the Border Tower. (waiting for the world to turn once more, Sleeping Beauty, gen, 3k)

8. Most days, Phi meets Quil at the ship’s rail in the morning, when the sailors on the night shift are yawning their way to their hammocks and the rest are eating in the galley, arguing over who is taking which post for the day, drinking weaker coffee the farther they get from any ports that have any to sell them. (You Feel Just Like the Sun, The Campaign of Five Dragons, Quil/Phi/Terry, 45k)

9. Calla left confusion in her wake. (what a tale my thoughts could tell, The Games We Played During the War, Calla/Valk, 6k)

10. Someday Dutch is going to buy a spaceship that likes her best. (Lead Me To Your Door, Killjoys, Dutch & John, 5k)

I definitely have some patterns! Four of these start with dialogue, which actually feels low to me, I feel like throwing the reader into the middle of a conversation is a technique I tend to use a lot (though I do tend to use it more in shorter stories, I think that happens in a lot of ficlet rounds when I do those).

Other than that, I enjoy declarative statements that make sense to the narrator if not to the reader and/or statements that quickly establish a status quo so that I can promptly mess with that status quo.
