25 Lines Meme
Sep. 1st, 2008 09:21 amEveryone else is doing it. Why not me?
Post the first lines from your last 25 stories. Do you see any patterns?
( My 25 latest first lines )
Patterns, huh. Well, I'm fairly diverse, pairing-wise. But I do notice that if I'm not starting off with dialogue, I rarely name the character in the first sentence. I think it adds a bit of tension,if though the characters are labeled at the top of the fic. Also, and again only with non-dialogue openings, I seem to run towards terse opening lines. Economy and all that, I guess. What do you guys think? Any patterns I'm missing?
