Meme

Jacked from danceswithgary and roxymissrose cos they're both stealworthy. :)

Post the first lines from your last 20 stories. Do you see a pattern?

My pattern? Uh, that I tend to start the story in medias res. And I like my pronouns.

How have I missed some of these? There were even SV stories that I didn't recognize. I am so damn far behind. That's the pattern I'm getting from this meme so far. Your's is the third I've seen, and I'm behind with everyone, and am writing so much these days I don't know how I'll get caught up.

I love your first lines. They are very diverse. I do notice that you don't start with dialogue very often - is that what you meant above by medias res? I don't think I start with dialogue often either. I'll have to find some time to do this meme tonight and see.

#19 made me lol, and I do believe I recognize that. It was a comment fic, right? Back in the winter, I think.

Oh, don't worry about my stuff, hon. Probably most of these you haven't read because they're short one-ers or WiPs. I certainly don't mind. They'll all still be here next year at this time, so. . . *shrug*

I guess I try to just stick you guys into a character's thoughts right away, or into the action. I assume you'll either get into it because you know the backstory, or that you'll enjoy trying to figure out said backstory (Ex. CFMWH). *shrugs* Haven't had any complaints so far. Although maybe anyone who had a problem with a story because it was too confusing just kinda quit, so. . . they wouldn't leave a comment to complain, now would they? Hmmmm. :/

And, yes! Correct! Ladydreamer wanted Cas eating and eating she did get! LOL Messy, messy, junkless Angel.

hoeky smokes--I've got some rereading to do!!! Every single one of these makes you go. "ooooo!"

*blushes* Oh, you're a doll!

Hmmm, lots of goodies to read... And yes, you do tend to start in the middle of things, don't you? That's lots better than starting way ahead of the action IMO.

Thanks for sharing!

Why, thank you, m'dear! I think it's more interesting to just dump you guys right into things, but I do get that sometimes it's a bit, uh, confusing, too.

You're very welcome!!!
