Memes and pimpage and prizes, oh my! =O
All of these are stolen from blossomslut.
Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!
1. She tilts her head up, half in challenge and half because, good grief, he must have had a hell of a growth spurt in seventh year.
2. On the whole, though, she had never paid him much mind, and his name hadn't crossed her mind until they were several years out of Hogwarts and she saw him striding into the Ministry cafeteria in the midst of a vehement but vaguely-worded argument with Blaise Zabini, who Hermione had always disliked on principle for being so goddamn good-looking.
3. "This doesn't have to be difficult," Theodore whispers.
4. "For Salazar’s sake, Morag, that’s the second time this month."
5. "I suppose I shouldn’t expect vows made under duress to mean anything to you, even if the duress was all yours."
Don't expect to ever see any more than one of the fics these sentences come from. They're nominally WIPs, but they won't ever get done.
And I am adding a game to this! If you can guess the speakers of the vague dialogue/who the vague pronouns refer to in these, I will... idk, give you a drabble or icons or something. I know some among you have seen some of these, though, so if it's something you recognize, play nice and don't answer for that one. (1: who is the "she"? 2: who is the "she"? 3: who is Theo talking to? Bonus: what is "this"? 4: who's speaking? Bonus: what did Morag do? 5: who is speaking? Bonus: to whom?)
Screening comments so everyone can play. :)

TV characters meme.
1. The guy you would take to meet your parents:
Patrick Jane from The Mentalist. He would dazzle them with his wit and charm and intuitive knowledge of how to make people like and trust him.
2. The one girl you would do:
Only one? Screw that. Thirteen from House is hot as hell, I would gladly be one of her I'm-so-emotionally-damaged one night stands. But Anne from The Tudors and Vanessa from Gossip Girl are both beautiful, beautiful. And Tosh from Torchwood! Smart is sexy.
3. The girl you'd take to the mall:
Serena (Gossip Girl)! You know she totally knows how to shop. (The boy I would take to the mall, for the record, would be Chuck Bass. For the lolz.)
4. Your male BFF:
The Doctor (David Tennant incarnation). Oh the fun times we would have gallivanting through space and time!
5. Your female BFF:
Gwen from Torchwood seems like a cool, chill person to hang out with on the rare occasions she's not at work. Or maybe Brennan from Bones- I'd never get bored around her.
6. Your gay BFF:
Eric from Gossip Girl! Eric is amazing. Enough said.
7. The guy who'd take you to prom:
Nate (GG), obvs. Haha, I wish. No. Even in my meme fantasies I don't think I'd ever get Nate Archibald. I am not hot enough for the likes of him.
8. Your big brother:
LOLZ Chuck Bass (GG), because compared to him anything I did would make me look like the good child by comparison.
9. The guy you'd marry:
Hmmm. I want to be, like reasonable and sensible and pick, idk, Ianto or someone for this. But I can't, so: Captain Jack or The Doctor, even though they'll both never age or die and I will, and neither are very steady or reliable. But a life with either would be extraordinary.
10. The guy you'd go clubbing with:
Captain Jack from Torchwood, because even though I'd be way out of my depth at first I know I'd end up relaxing and having fun.
11. The guy you'd have angry hot sex with:
Captain John from Torchwood, baby. Mrrrow. Or, or! Michael from Burn Notice, because damn, I've seen how he does angry sex, and I like it.

Tell me a song that has brought you close to tears or that has actually made you cry.
So from this we can conclude that I'm easily moved by music (and this is not in fact a complete list). Though I have to be in a particular frame of mind for it to happen. ZIP FILE HERE.
Mama Who Bore Me, Spring Awakening
Mama who bore me,
Mama who gave me
No way to handle things
Who made me so bad
Wild Horses, Charlotte Martin
And I have my freedom
But I don't have much time
People Change, Rockapella
Maybe I'm alive beneath the snow
Maybe I'm too petrified to know
I can't believe that you would tell me lies
How could I have missed that in those eyes?
Fall To Pieces, Avril Lavigne (wipe that look off your face!)
And I don't what to fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
Jane's Dimitri, Rachael Sage
Regret is like arthritis gripping wisdom by the joint
And you're gasping and you're drowning while love's sharpening her point
Sixty-five and still a virgin to the wistfulness of risk
She stopped crying after twelve months, she stopped writing after six
For Good, Wicked
Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a sky bird in a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you, I have been changed for good
Spring Street, Vanessa Carlton
And I left you by the stairwell
And your eyes were wet with tears
Mother, you knew you had to let me go
Even after all these years
Role Of A Lifetime, Bare: A Pop Opera
So you fill your life with sound
And if you dance like hell
You hope you'll never touch the ground
See Me, Bare: A Pop Opera
You don't want to hear it
You don't want to see me
Can't bear to see me
Absolution, Bare: A Pop Opera
"And I forgive you, Father."
Also, unrelated to the meme, another song just 'cause: Broken Strings, which I have been obsessed with lately.
