Stolen from Icka beause it looked intresting:
Post the first line from your 25 most recent fanfics and try to find a pattern.
1. It had been seven long years, since Kaitou Kid had perished in the explosion that had occurred the same night Kuroba Rose was born.
2. This is far too easy…
3. The screaming continued endlessly, or at least that’s what it felt like to Saguru who came running back into the room, staring at his lover who was laying in bed, clutching his head tightly.
4. He skated slowly backwards, turning in a graceful spiral as he focused on the ice in front of him, unseeing.
5. Saguru stared at the form before him, blinking for a moment. He opened his mouth to comment and closed it again, startlingly unable to form words at the moment.
6. Twilight. Shadow. Darkness. (it makes more sense if I took the fist three lines!)
7. You’re home, I can’t believe you’re really here.
8. But maybe…maybe someone does, watch that is.
9. “Toichi, man you have got to try this, it’s incredible!”
10. “Sora! So-ra!”
11. Names…a word given to someone so that you knew what to call them, to give them an identity…to classify them.
12. If one were to stay up late enough on the night of a Kaitou Kid heist, one would see a most amazing sight, of the Phantom thief himself walking, well, perhaps a better phrase would be sashaying or cavorting across the top of the fence (and no, we won’t question how one ’sashays’ across a fence) that outline the Kuroba residence. (Period? I know not of what you speak of…)
13. “There he is,” Nakamori yelled, pointing to the spotlighted thief on the building across the street.
14. “Why do you do it?”
15. “Ughfa.” Kaito groaned and rolled over, pulling the blankets over his head, blocking out the sight of his mother.
16. It had been a shock, the moment he first heard the accented English from over his head. Raising his eyes, a feeling a dread in his heart, he stared up at Hakuba’s rich, golden hazel gaze and suddenly wished he was outside and back in Ekoda.
17. He pushed deeper into the body beneath his, groaning softly, the soft gasps the man made thrilling him, causing his blood to sing.
18. “This shouldn’t keep happening, it’s not fair to Kid,” the teen said, staring at the bloody murder scene, watching as the criminal was lead out in cuffs by Nakamori and the Osaka police.
19. Kaito smiled, watching his son patiently and carefully letter his list to Santa, the boy taking great care to make sure each character was perfect before moving onto the next.
20. He had been waiting nine months for this moment, preparing, planning, anticipating every second.
21. “Ladies and Gentlemen!”
22. “Give me my robe, put on my crown; I have immortal longings in me.”
23. It had been a beautiful night.
24. To say that Hakuba was surprised was the understatement of any worded stretch of years.
25. “You know you’re narcissistic, when your name is your screen saver,” Atemu muttered, staring at the three giant computer screens casting a blue glow on Seto’s face.
Conclusions:
A. I REALLY need to stop abusing the DCMK fandom (only four of those stories were not DCMK related).
B. I tend to jump right into the action with very little lead up…I wonder if my readers always feel as if they’re playing catch up…
C. I abuse comma’s.
