Meme Stolen from
I couldn't resist this one - will definitely have to put it under a cut because of just how many WIPs I have floating around my computer. I'll even make it easy for peeps and divide it up by fandom.
Post a single sentence extract from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!
Harry Potter
1. Type AB, the rarest of all types, is the universal recipient, receiving from the other types things such as praise, condescension, insults and practical jokes, and apparently, the suspicion of being willing to spy on one's own family.
2. "But Mum, he's wiggling all over," replied a voice Arthur had feared he would never hear again outside of the halls of the Ministry of Magic.
3. Before his unfortunate passing, Albus, in confidence, told me that he had been communicating with someone privy to the inner circle of the Ministry, that this person had contacted him and volunteered information, only asking to remain anonymous.
4. Yet when the movement was completed, Scrimgeour’s hands remained in contact, brushing non-existent lint from Percy’s robes.
Xena/Hercules
1. Their companion's hands were waving furiously in time to the tale he spun, causing the long green plume in his hat to bob every which way.
2. Once upon a time, there was a warlord who had three sons.
3. How could the Fates be so cruel as to let me fall in love with him?
4. For the Sun God, you're definitely not the brightest torch in the family, brother.
5. The watcher sat back and relaxed as the man began removing his wet armour and clothing, then set about starting a fire to warm himself in the cool cave.
6. The rebel shivered, and the God of Love couldn't help but smile at the man's reaction.
7. He continued riding in the blistering heat until the sun began it's eventual descent.
8. The servant looked toward the door and Iphicles' eyes followed until they rested on the visitor standing next to the blushing guard.
9. If you complain one more time, I'm going to introduce you to my new dagger, and then you can introduce yourself to Hades.
10. Joxer couldn't help but wince; he'd never seen so many different colours in one room at the same time.
11. He smoothed the pink chiffon over his breasts and looked at his reflection in the mirror.
12. While Joxer would tell story after story about his own prowess in battle, all false, to impress the bard, he reserved his more truthful, less ‘impressive', and definitely more humourous tales for Xena alone.
13. The Goddess, already clothed in her usual pink chiffon, rose from the bed to wrap her arms around his neck.
14. With a sigh, he resigned himself to the one fact that glared him in the eye: he was lonely.
15. "What brings me here? Well, let's see... Could it be the celebration of your show finally going off the air? Maybe. Or, it could be a little thing like, say, 25 FUCKING YEARS AND KILLING OFF JOXER!!! WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING???" (I know, I know, but this one deserved the entire quote!)
16. Revived three million years later, Xena's only companions are a life form who evolved from her parrot, and Joxer, a hologram simulation of one of the dead crew.
17. Jox is alive peeking up skirts
18. Little had changed in the small town, from the tiny, colourful marketplace to the blacksmith's shop with its tribute to Hephaestus displayed next to its front door.
19. They followed as Meg led the boys to a table, forcing them to sit and heading to the kitchen to bring them all some food and drink.
20. How do you solve a problem like Joxer?
21. He knew they were both more than ready, neither having had much sexual contact in a long time.
...It's my bedtime, so I'll do the rest of the fandoms tomorrow ;)
