Oh look writing meme: Post the first lines from each of your 25 most recent fanfic pieces and try to find a pattern.
Hm, I'm going to assume it's the first bit of each new chapters for the works-in-progress n_n ...Also, how much is a few? I'll just go with the first paragraph or so XD
x start of meme stolen from awinchan
1. BtVS - Once they were done with interrogating Andrew, Anya flipped her handy agenda open to the ‘To Do as a Mortal’ section (the one after ‘Happy Money (AKA finance)’ and before ‘Women to Visit for Vengeance Gigs’).
2. PoT - The man had looked too normal.
3. PoT - Sometimes Sakuno catches the barking of Tomoka’s laughter as it falls and she tries it for herself.
4. PoT - Makoto Shou has a busy schedule to keep, high expectations to meet and paths to trace.
5. PoT - There was something wrong with Atobe Keigo.
6. PoT - It was a real wonder to find out Atobe Keigo lacked anything.
7. PoT - The Seigaku Regulars stared at the girl in front of them with pure shock.
8. PoT - Sometimes, you see someone that you would like to befriend right away. For some reason, this person holds a certain attraction to you, yet you don’t know why. It would just seem right for him or her to have a place in your life.
9. PoT - “I’m sorry, I can’t take you to the dance this Saturday, I’m already taken,” Horio declared tragically, his face twisting with fake emotions. To abuse of his credibility, he gripped his heart with his right hand and let out a loud sob. “I am, I swear! By whom?”
10. PoT - Sleep.
11. PoT - In the humid summer evening, Echizen Nanjiroh squeezed his girlfriend in his muscular arms tightly, making her squeal and giggle. “Let me go, Nanji! You’re all sticky!”
12. PoT - It was late. It was raining. It was lame.
13 - PoT - “Promise me, Fuji,” Eiji had said when they were finally graduating, his eyes stern on his best friend.
14. PoT - Ryoma felt his eyelids close drowsily as he gazed at the snow that gently covered Tokyo. December knew just how to introduce Christmas to everyone, he mused. No words could explain the endearing beauty the place got once it got all white.
15. Sailor Moon - Love- no one had ever given a decent definition of it.
16. Sweet Home Alabama - “Jake, stop kissing me! I need to breathe!”
17. SM - But not really.
18. PoT - “Chibisuke didn’t tell you? I’m his older brother!”
19. PoT - “I can’t believe you forgot Ore-sama’s birthday!!!”
20. PoT - Ryoga’s first day in Japan proved to be pretty fruitful.
21. SM - No, Usagi had not beamed when she saw the approval and appreciation in Mamoru’s gaze when his eyes travelled around the room.
22. PoT - Tezuka’s eyes shifted from his open book to the bloody lips his vice-captain were sporting. On Oishi’s left, Kikumaru was limping. His own lips were bruised and he had the attitude of a paranoid boy, looking everywhere around him. Oishi held his hand comfortingly, but it didn’t seem to have any effect.
23. PoT - “Ne, Ryoma,” Fuji suddenly said. “This is boring.”
24. PoT - “Fight! Seigaku, fight!”
25. HP - “It is time to go, your Majesty.”
x analysis.
Other than lameness. Hum. Pattern. Sooo. It would seem I like to make a statement or have a line of dialogue at the beginning of my fics. Which may or may not come from some childhood trauma.
Or, it would seem that -before- I pretty much went with the dialogue. And now I'm more statement girl. Which could show some kind of evolution. I liked to speak just for the fun of speaking before, but now I like to make a point.
Yeah, I know. That's bull.
Huh.
Since no opening sentence would really prompt me to read my own fiction, I'll go for "pattern shows that Dudly is an incompetent writer".
Please, feel free to disagree. XD
