If you happen to be working on some creative writing project, fanfiction or NaNoWriMo or what have you, post exactly one sentence (or more) from each of your current work(s) in progress in your journal. It should probably be your favourite or most intriguing sentence so far, but what you choose is entirely your discretion. Mention the title (and genre) if you like, but don't mention anything else -- this is merelyto whet the general appetite for your forthcoming work(s).

"This is Captain Kaywinnit Lee Frye of the transport Serenity requesting to dock."

Willow Rosenberg was dead to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that.

Wait, why am I telling you this? What happened next was none of your damned business. I will say this much, though: she was great.

They met again on Londinium, each on the arm of an M.P., and they saw each other at the same time. They both turned away at the same time, as if reaching for a weapon, then turned back, suddenly remembering where they were. No weapons were on hand, which meant pre-emptive offense was not a necessary defense. They pretended to not notice each other for two dances, then each excused themselves from their dates and made their way to the punch bowl.

William knows that Anna is not like other girls. He thinks this without the least hint of sentiment or romance. That Anna is not like other girls is an objective fact. She can beat him every time at arm wrestling, and what girl could do that? And once, when she had fallen asleep between takes during a hard day on the set, she began muttering in what he suspects was Latin. Anna does not, as far as he knows, speak Latin.

Gakked from likeadeuce (who actually dreamt it up, if I'm not mistaken, because she felt evil and wanted to mislead) and then from buffyannotater (whose poll this one resembles more), see if you can guess the following.

1) Shakespeare Play
2) Non-Shakespeare Play
3) Playwright
4) TV show
5) Novel
6) Musical
7) Movie
8) Screenwriter
9) Actress
10) Season of Angel

Also, ask me for top five lists, and I will provide you with the top things in the category you requested. Gakked from inlovewithnight.
