[Meme] Stories I haven't written

Dec 15, 2011 21:08

Tell me about a story I haven't written, and I'll give you between one and three sentences a few paragraphs from that story.

(I am trying to be honest about my length issues. *wry*)

Tell me about the wanderer that crosses from one universe to another, using the keys
etched into their bodies by their IA keeper.
The keys are sigils, fashioned by scarifications, and metals produced with the body.
Why do they wander? What is their job? Where do they go?
What happens when they are traveling? How did they get the scarifications?
Why are they chosen?

[Fic] "Utilitarian Virtue" -- original edenfalling December 16 2011, 05:08:45 UTC
Clearly this is the start of an action/adventure story, in which Aujae and her latest target work together to figure out the story behind the Keeper and what, exactly, it's trying to prevent from happening in universe after universe. But I am not going to write that.

Aujae crossed universes with her eyes open once. After she nearly ripped herself apart by trying to turn around mid-step, and vomited the entire contents of her stomach, down to pure bile, from the nauseating visual wrongness of the process, she returned to closing her eyes like the Keeper had advised ( ... )

Wow. That... made me really happy.
I am always in awe of those who can make the words do what they please.
Dramatic! Stylings! seems to be a default write device of mine unless it is
academic, and I always feel so silly trying to write a story.
This is wonderful, and I want to know more.
It went down very well, just like all your writing does, smooth flow, interesting ideas,
nice word to picture in head path.
Your stories are an artist's drug, very compelling!
