Have you considered this WIP meme? Seems like it was going around quite a bit a couple months back.
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!
Tell you what: *examines unfinished fic* I'd do it with you, and then we could derive satisfaction from striking out sentences from the list as we write up a storm! Come on. You know you want to ... all the cool kids are doing it. ;)
=D You know, that sounds like a blast! It'll be interesting to see how many odd first sentences I have - I have a feeling they're not overly descriptive.... Hmm!
I don't think you have to post the first sentence, just one sentence. So you could pull the weirdest of the bunch that would sound completely mad without context. :D
So shall we do it? I have maybe 4 WIPs at the mo'. This might nudge me to finish one or two of them.
What if I post my five, and you post five of yours--doesn't have to be the first sentence, just one measly sentence from somewhere in the draft you have now. We each post our one-sentence lists by this time tomorrow. Then you pick one of mine and I pick one of yours, and we have to start writing (you can put on the Russian tecno, I won't tell anyone). ;) I need someone to hold me accountable. I'm taking a big risk here, because one of my five WIPs has only one sentence. You can pick the five you're most likely to finish, cos I'll never know the difference.
