Niki's Obsessions

Drabble meme

1) Write a drabble in your first fandom
2) Write a drabble in your newest fandom
3) Write a drabble in a fandom you've never written fic for.

( Distractions from NaNo )

Post the first line from your last 25 fanfics and try to find a pattern.

( ...well, I went with the first sentence. )

Hmmm, patterns. Obviously, not beginning with full sentences;) (Well, 5 out 25 are not but they do stand out.) Only three start with speech (and one of those is an actual quote from the movie), and quite a few are in first person.

Three start with a name, four with 'I' (8 with pronouns), 7 had just about enough info to guess the fandom. Three mention a place.

Surprisingly, only two start with waking up. (Three if you count the one that infers waking up, more if you count metaphorical waking ups.)

I am surprised that half seem to be in present tense. I honestly thought most would in past tense. Shows what I know...;) I also use ellipses a lot.

One pattern to all? I obviously try to begin with something that would keep me reading. Straight to the point, no waxing lyrical on the place or endless descriptions.

Fiction related, that's why I chose to put it on my on my fic journal.

( Five fics of mine I'm proud of. )
( Five fics I wish to finish one day. )
( Some fics I wish I'll be able to write one day. )
