Swiped unceremoniously from the lovely and talented ellen_kushner:

Tell me about a story I haven't written, and I'll give you one sentence from that story.

ETA: Game off. No further sentences are being taken. Thank you all for playing!

That is so cool, my mind went to your setting immediately

[seanan_mcguire]

The trouble with any large gathering of those who specialize in the quixotic, the strange, the arrogant, and the mad is their unbearable tendency to be distracted by anything shiny.
