mildredmost to try posting a little more in namespace (since Tumblr doesn't really do it for me) and to use my journal for something other than exchange letters. Let's see how long this fit of nostalgia for the old days of Livejournal lasts!
So with that in mind, I've stolen this fun fic meme:
Go through your last 5 fics and share the first and last line. Provide no context.
To the Victor (WIP)
A lot of people were surprised when Jyn Erso emerged as the victor of the Hunger Games.
"Lead the way."
Fractals
Baze sat in the shabby spaceport, weary to his bones.
"The rebellion."
A Spring Moon
The spring festival was busy.
The clouds overhead shifted, and Sarantsatsral's smile was lit by the moonlight.
Ostinato
"Hey, can I get a hand with this?"
“Yeah,” Daniel breathed. “I have time.”
Ocean Whispers
The early breeze was warm and tinged with ocean-salt.
The wind in the trees outside sounded like whispers.
What I'm getting from this, mostly, is that I don't have very compelling opening lines, and I have a tendency to end my fics with a line of dialogue (though To The Victor is only about halfway done, so maybe that one won't!) I do struggle with both opening and closing lines and tend to just go with "good enough".
I do like the opening line of To the Victor, I have to say. It's also the only one where the opening line came to me as the idea that sparked the entire story, so make of that what you will.
