Taken from, pretty much... everyone. But it was too interesting not to try, and I'm damned curious what this is going to show.

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

( This is probably interesting only to myself. )

Yeah the full names aren't really necessary. I think it might be one of those things I started doing because I write fanfiction and it's a quick and easy way to let the reader know what they're dealing with (especially when you have main characters who can be male or female, good or bad, etc...). Now that I realize I've been doing that, I'm trying to push myself past that and try to work towards starting out with some kind of interesting description instead, which will be a challenge, because rich descriptive narrative is not one of my strong points.

Huh, I haven't read several of these stories. Are they completed and posted somewhere that's not ff.net?

The first one (Parley) is something that siujerkjai and I are working on and once I can figure out a way to wrap it up, we'll polish and post it.

If it doesn't have a link, it's either a piece of original fiction I'm poking away at or it's a piece of half finished fanfiction that I'm stuck on (like the Loghain one, which I have ten pages of story for, but don't quite know what to do next with it). I have a tendency to shove fanfiction like that aside, and if the idea is strong enough, return to it months or even years later when something shakes loose in my brain.

I have decided that you are most interesting, so have added you as a friend. Feel free to ignore or disregard or reciprocate, as you desire. ;)

Anyone who makes an Anora costume is going to get friended back. (That is so cool!)

Heh, thank you. It's a lovely costume, and I have long blonde hair, so it works. ;)

These are awesome!

(How did I end up reading a post you wrote seven months ago? IDK. Sometimes I wander around the internet and get lost...)

Heh, thank you! And I do the same damned thing, usually when I'm trying to get work done.
