Last sentence meme

@iamanartichoke tagged me about 2 weeks ago and at the time I hadn’t gotten any fic written recently, but I finally wrote about a page of the next chapter of First Things while I was on a long flight last week.

The game is to post the last sentence you wrote and to tag as many people as there are words in the sentence!

“I
fear that would only make my distraction worse,” Thor replied.

10 points to your House if you remember from the previous chapter(s) what he’s talking about.

11 words, that’s not too bad. OK, who writes around here? @iamanartichoke, it’s probably been long enough that you have something new. @foundlingmother, @ghostxforest, @illwynd, @incredifishface, @loxxxlay, @neveserene, @seamayweed, @seidrade, @taranoire, @writernotwaiting

7 sentences & last sentence memes

I was tagged by several different people to do these WIP memes: @loxxxlay tagged me to do the 7 sentences one and @illwynd and @seidrade tagged me for the last sentence one. But I’ve been so bad at keeping up with writing recently that I don’t really have anything new. The 7 sentences meme is especially hard because…

The rules are as follows: go to page 7 of your WIP, go to the 7th line, share 7 sentences, and tag 7 more writer-bloggers to continue the challenge.

…but I don’t have 7 pages of any unposted fics (except a really old one that I think I’ve used for this meme before) or new chapters of partially posted fics. The only new chapter for which I’ve written anything is 2 pages of the next chapter of The Abyss Gazes Also – which I swear I have not abandoned, even though I haven’t updated it in over a year now. (So rest assured, person who left a comment on the last chapter saying “Dear author, Wherth [sic] art thou updating this?” Don’t I wish I fucking knew.)

So I’ll just have to make do by going to the seventh line of the last page I’ve written and sharing 7 sentences (or possibly 8… but I wanted to finish the line of dialogue):

Thor jerked his head back at Stark. “Wherever these mortals wish to take you. I will be accompanying them.”

“‘Mortals’? Really?” I heard Stark’s muffled robotic voice mutter.

I snort-laughed; it was a touch vulgar. “As what? Their hired muscle? Are you going to help them beat the Tesseract out of me?”

And then here’s the last sentence I’ve written, which is not consecutive to the foregoing:

When he spun Mjölnir and lifted us into the air, I was facing backwards over his shoulder, the side of my face pressed uncomfortably close to his.

The 7 sentences meme says I’m supposed to tag 7 people and the last sentence meme says I should tag as many people as there are words in the sentence. I’m pretty sure I don’t know 27 fic writers on here, so I’m just going with 7. Sorry if I’m re-tagging some people, but I was tagged long enough ago that maybe some of y’all will have something new to share (unlike me) …: @darklittlestories, @fairy-changeling, @foundlingmother, @incredifishface, @runnerfivestillalive, @satanssyn-n-things, @wouldyouknowmore

Last sentence meme

I was tagged by @loxxxlay sometime yesterday, I think. I almost forgot.

Rules: Post the last sentence you wrote and then tag as many people as there are words in that sentence.

“Global positioning doesn’t do much good when you’re nowhere near the globe.”

That’s 12 words. Let’s see if I can come up with 12 fic writers… @darklittlestories, @et-in-arkadia, @fairy-changeling, @foundlingmother, @ghostxforest (are you still writing?), @illwynd (if you’ve got something on the back burner), @incredifishface, @neveserene, @satanssyn-n-things, @taranoire, @wouldyouknowmore, @writernotwaiting
