1. Go to page 77 (or 7, or just hit pagedown 7 times) 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.
4. Ignore the fourth line because most of the authors I know online have already done this. XD Anyone who wants to, consider yourself tagged. :)


And of course there's the question, which one counts as my current manuscript? O_o;; Perhaps I should do all of... no, no, if I do this with all my things-in-progress it'll be a post and a half. Two posts. Insane, anyway. Here, you get stuff kind of at random, then, including a fic or two I haven't posted on my LJ before. :P

=====

WM Chapter 25:
Synopsis: c'mon, you know this one. :D

"...I'm checking the closet."

Trowa had been right. It was the least-- hm. ‘Offensive’ wasn’t quite the right word, Heero decided, glaring at the rest of the outfits; none of them were exactly offensive, really. The ones that incorporated lace into their designs came close... Ah. That’s the word I want. It’s the least infuriating choice available.

=====

The Original Thing:
Synopsis: Er... everyone needs to try to write a fantasy novel, right?

Arn laughed, a short mirthless bark, and lifted his stump slightly. "Too late; their favourite warning's already come true." Packrat winced, but didn't leave, and after a moment he managed a thin smile. "It's not like I was getting any rest in there. When they weren't yellin' at me, I was wondering what new use-name I'm gonna get stuck with. Arn the Arm? Lefty?"

"At least you were left-handed already," she offered. If he was determined to verbally poke at his own fresh wound, she wasn't going to try shielding him.

=====

Cats & Dogs:
Synopsis: Ryouga meets Inuyasha's big brother, at a point where Fluffy-sama is having a bad few hundred years.

So... I try not to rub it in, without being too obvious about it.

Yeah. Right. Like I’ve ever managed tact in my life!


----------

I’m disgusting, Sesshoumaru thought, feeling his skin crawl as he realised just how dirty he was. I stink. I probably smell bad enough that even a nose-blind human can tell, and even if I don’t, he only has to look at me to see the wretched state I’m in!

=====

Chibi Evil:
Synopsis: All Dogmatix's fault, like so many of my other fics. ;) Inuyasha meets Detective Conan meets Weiss Kreuz.

They’d fought Naraku in the mountains, in youkai-haunted territory, far from anywhere humans would go without a damn good reason. There hadn’t been a human village for miles, let alone a city. There definitely hadn’t been a city like the one that filled the whole valley, lapping up the hills in waves of bricks and wood, glowing with light and buzzing with sound even from this distance...

=====

Viridan and Hathmelor (Interlude):
Synopsis: World of Warcraft. A blood elf and a worgen meet and become friends. Together they fight crime the Scourge! (And their so-called allies, sometimes...)

"Oh, for--" Hath pushed her away and flopped back onto the camp bed, blade-bearing hand draping across his eyes. "Look. Go talk to Commander Korfax and ask him to tell you about the birds, the bees, the whips, the chains, and the lizards, all right? He--"

"The what?!"

"You heard me. He can explain it to you; it's his damn job to keep us all alive, including stopping us from killing each other."

=====

And just this once, I'm suspending the "no nagging" rule. Feel free to poke me in the comments if you want to see any one of these actually finished sometime soon, n'kay? ;)

I VOTE FOR WARCRAFT FIC. And warped mirrors. Because-- LACE!

Warped Mirrors and the Inuyasha one - because hasn't Fluffy-sama been stuck for ages?

*Runs up carrying a giant squeaky hammer* Chapter 25 of WM! ... But I may end up stealing Borrowing the "birds, bees, whips, chains, lizards" comment, changing a couple of things to fit where I wanna put it. ...I'm working on a fantasy novel, and it will just work. It kinda rung a gong in my head in relation to the story. Of course, the (unprinted) speech will not actually include lizards. "Where do the lizards come in???????" ^__^

*Raises squeaky hammer threateningly* Chapter 25 of WM, PLEASE. Or I will hit you with this thing many, many times.

-_- I probably shouldn't say this, but: you like Case Closed/Detective Conan, right? How would you feel about a Shinichi/Ran/Kaitou KID three way fic?

...I mean reading one, not writing it. Srry.

Three Thieves? ;) I need to catch up on that one, I'm behind. XD And I shoulda been clearer, WM is of course next on the list 'cause it's in our schedule, don't worry! (You can still hit me with the squeaky hammer if you like, I probably deserve it. ;D)

And feel free to snaffle the whips, chains, and lizards. *snicker*

*Starts bouncing the squeaky hammer on Mel's head*

You need to hurry up to catch up.... The story is gonna come off of hiatus on the 1st!

"You said lizards in that little list of yours, and his speach included NOTHING about LIZARDS!!!!! Where do the LIZARDS come into the painting?" LOL!

*grumble* I gotta get a root canal. First iTunes fucks up, then it fucks up again, then my crochet hooks goes clattering away, my teeth have been hurting for the past few days, nothing is going right until the first dentist's office I try manages to squeak me in..... and then I'm told i need a root canal. Correction. I need TWO. Lady Luck is NOT being kind to be right now.

My ovaries will give you a standing ovation for WM25 if it includes any G-boys in leather or lace.

Bonus: immaculate conception for Duo/Heero/Wufei in leather AND lace.

I adore all your fic. So I vote you finish all of them as time and the muses permit!
(And I was definitely enjoying your original fic - Spousie can vouch for that, as I kept sharing my favorite bits!)

Wahey! XD I really must get the rest of that into electronic form... :P
