25 First Lines Meme
So, I was going to do 25 First Lines meme that I saw on a few people's journals, and then I totally forgot. And then I remembered again, so here it is!
25 first lines from the last 25 stories I wrote:
Comparative Noise
Lorne can't stop himself from wanting to run a finger over the soft cuffs around McKay's wrists, over the butter-soft leather that holds McKay's hands together.
New Found Glory
"You're such a slut, McKay."
Five Weeks, Four Days and Twelve Hours
You've almost lost track of how many weeks it's been since you first asked Bonnie to adjust your systems before she finally finishes.
Fault Lines
When John Sheppard was thirty-five, he sat in a chair and had the universe open up for him.
Mulberry Bush
"What do you think?" Jodi asked, as Tyler picked up the new addition to her range of Graboid souvenirs.
One More Time
It wasn't like Nick had been looking for the letter he was holding.
Dragon
Stephen nods his thanks to the barman as the bottle of beer is put onto the counter in front of him.
Not Emptiness, But Repletion
"Don't move."
Target Practice
"Look straight ahead."
Thought Process
There's a lot of excuses in Charles Xavier's head as he lies in bed.
Notation
Nick flicks onto the next slide, flow chart of genetic markers appearing on the screen.
Mr Tickle's Very Good Day
Mr Tickle got up and made himself breakfast.
The Dalek Experiment
Jast withdrew his manipulator arm, allowing the body of the human he'd been interrogating to fall to the ground.
Going, Going, Gone
"A bachelor auction?"
Because the Earth Turns Round the Sun
It wasn't as though Nick had intended to follow Stephen to the club.
Mousey Worth
The lab technician - Bob, to his friends - slid his hand into his trousers, unaware that he was being watched.
Garfield's List
If Garfield had to list his top three favourite things it would go: 1. Pooky 2. Lasagne 3. Sleep
Rules of the Game
"He's your father."
Tennessee
Kurt makes sure the door is locked before he lies on the bed, clothes in a pile on the floor and duvet soft against the fine fur across his body.
Making Your Mind Up
Terry could feel a sigh coming on as the next group took to the stage - yet another country who seemed to think that putting their entrants in as little clothing as possible was a ticket to winning Eurovision.
Banana Republic
You can see the way they look at you, even though they try to hide it.
One of Those Days
James Lester frowned as he walked into his office, not quite able to put his finger on what was bothering him.
Full Throttle
Jesse slides Hawk into her stand before he straddles her, running a hand over the chrome, cold and smooth in its perfection.
When the Moon is in the Eighth House
"I'm so very worried about Ducky-Boos," Nanny said, lifting a pan off the shelf next to her.
Half Shell
You block out the voices surrounding you, loud and accusing with only one remaining calm.
So, from the looks of it, I've started nine fics out the last twenty-five with names and seven with dialogue. I'm apparently using second person pov more than I used to (three fics started with 'You' or 'You've') and I'm falling into present tense more often, as well. Hmmm...
Also, can I point out that more than half of these (sixteen to be precise) were written for mmom and six of them for kink_bingo, so that probably had an affect (although I'm not exactly sure what), since the stories were focused on kink and wanking ::grin::
Also also, the mmom thing hopefully explains why there seem to be some really weird fandoms in there ;-)
