Meme - Twenty First Lines
Stolen from Weesta, 'cause it seemed interesting. Done by last updated rather than last posted, because it took less time, and I felt lazy. Listed in order of randomness.

Conclusion reached? I like to start my fics with some sort of emotional anticipation, and refering to someone or a few people in particular.
While this took a *lot* of footwork to achieve, it was sort of fun. I'm tempted to do a Bright Skies only version, since that's apparently 98% of what I've been posting all year. ^.^
