Meme

I'm trying to be coherent enough to write, but mostly I'm just staring at all my WIPs in despair. Being super multifannish means I end up wandering out of fandoms and then need to reabsorb all the canon to write it again. Hrmph.

Therefore, time for a meme:

1. Go to page 77 (or 7) of your current ms.
2. Go to line 7
3. Copy down the next 7 lines – sentences or paragraphs – and post them as they’re written.

( (XMFC) post-movie alien invasion )

( (Inception) Arthur character study that I'm mostly writing because I love my title, not because it contributes anything interesting to his characterization )

( (Inception/H50) Your Brain Must Be A Miserable Place - also cowriting with inmyriadbits; this snippet turned out very spoilery for the story, fyi )

( (Star Trek reboot) shuttle AU - boring exposition bit )

( (XMFC) Notorious AU - one of the few bits of dialogue I stole straight from the movie )

So I reread a lot of things and a few new ones. My incredibly deep thoughts on the latter:

The Serpent Sea, by Martha Wells
I literally read the opening paragraph, LOL'd and said, "Oh Moon, I *missed* you". The lines were: ( Read more... )

Basically, I enjoyed the heck out of it, and cannot wait to read the third book. (whoo, now officially titled The Siren Depths, coming January 2013!)

The Hunger Games Trilogy
I'm still working through my feelings and issues with this series. I did love it, in many ways. I blasted through the entire series in two days, and Katniss was complex and devious and tough, and I love me some gladiatorial deathmatchs, but.... ( Read more... )

Anyway. Yuletide request, maybe? We'll see.
