Oooooh, you are good at opening lines. Even the fics from fandoms I don't read!

Like, I really like this one, weirdly: "They’re in a stupid bar in some no-name town in Ohio, just over the Pennsylvania border." It just sets a great scene.

Aww, thank you! I'm flattered that you think so! <3

And I'm especially happy that you liked that one! That was one of those lines that came to me first, before I even started the fic. IDK how it works for you usually, but I actually find that I do that a lot, where I'll have one line to start out with, and then I just kind of go from there. ;)

But anyway, thanks! <333

Ooooooh. I sometimes get lines on their own, but normally stories come to me with a scene or a moment and the rest is building up/down to/from that moment. (Or working really hard to make it seem like the whole fic wasn't written for that moment so it appear more evened out.)

You're welcome! :D

Oh yes, I've definitely been there, too. ^_~ I suppose it's sort of the same thing, because lots of times whatever line is it that comes to me first isn't actually the first line? So I have that same problem of working up to and then away from it, and hoping I can somehow make things even out along the way. ;)

Ooh, lovely. <3 Two fics per month is not too bad at all. :-D

Yeah, it's weird, on the one hand, it almost feels like that number should be higher? But considering I spent at least a few months last year "between fandoms", I'm good with it. :D

(Also, you should do this meme. ^_~)
