logansrogueIf you happen to be working on some creative writing project, fanfiction or NaNoWriMo or what have you, post exactly one sentence (or more) from each of your current work(s) in progress in your journal. It should probably be your favourite or most intriguing sentence so far, but what you choose is entirely your discretion. Mention the title (and genre) if you like, but don't mention anything else -- this is merely to whet the general appetite for your forthcoming work(s).
Original Comics:
Birdmartian:
- Issue 02: Brandon: You know…Steven Spielberg's full of shit.
- Issue 03: Bee Narration: Moonshine (as we've taken to calling him), is showing us the "world wide web" with an obvious sense of pride. I'm finding it very annoying that if I want to go somewhere, I have to click something.
~~*~~
Carrie and the Magnetism:
- Issue 01: Stacey Jones (about her models): It's a fucking miracle they can figure out how to shoot themselves up in the morning.
- Issue 02: Ci-Ki: I can hear your voice too, Carrie! Even when you say nothing, your mind is singing to me… don't worry, don't worry, I'm not mad… not yet.
~~*~~
The Muse:
Terri: You don't get it, Rannon! The world doesn't need people like me! It doesn't need any more artists or poets or singers or dancers or freakin' whatever's in between! There's no room for them! We're not supposed to exist! These fuckers think an ideal world is the job and the house and the kids and money churning in their direction! I'm an anomaly! I'm an abberation!
Rannon: You and all your kind are a step beyond the mere act of survival. That simple spark of making something of yourself that never before existed is the elevation of blood and bone and breath. Those that create are not numerous detritus that clutter the well-oiled machine of modern society. You are the glimmering light in a mud of horror and despair. You are the very reflection of the Ineffable that we all strive to rejoin.
Terri: ...
Rannon: [calm look]
Terri: Fine. I'm a reflection of the Ineffable with no friggin' way to pay the electricity bill.
~~*~~
Original Fic:
Amaryllis: In the sea, it is endless blue. It is the only constant, the only certainty in miles of nothingness.
~~*~~
Fanfic:
Harry Potter:
Harriet: Slapping closed the book, Ginny sat upright, staring at him flatly. "You like her. It's bleeding obvious and you can ignore it all you like but it still remains that if it weren't for the fact you were all tied up in being the hero you'd be down her pants before you could say 'Martyrs are farters'."
AU Sequel to "Lucky": "Exotic pus-producing succulents," Harry said, reading out the words in a droll monotone. "I bet that gets you all excited doesn't it?" He sat primly in his spot and pretended to fantasise about something absolutely delicious. "Oooh, heavens, if I think about one more fat green pussy bag of leaves I'm going to burst!"
~~*~~
X-Men:
A Man Needs A Maid (Origin Story): Logan frowned now. "I thought I was payin' you to do as *I* asked."
Genevieve crossed her arms. "I thought I was here to help look after you."
Albanach (Elseworlds): (Rogue POV) "They'll pay for what they have done," I said quietly. I looked around to the men, gritting my teeth and pointing to the dead Englishmen around me. I rose my voice to the piercing cry that rattled their bones. "You SAW ME take their lives! KNOW THIS! Know that these will NOT be the last that'll pay for our agony, and for the agony of our people! Whether you take me into your forces or not, I shall fight!"
Sentinel (Sequel to Causa Anima): His life had changed completely. Before, he was society's detritus, hedging a living through the pain of others. Now, he was still pretty much society's detritus, but he was amongst his ilk, with people that were the closest thing to family he'd ever had. Along with Rogue's companionship, he was beginning to trust people again, to like people, to be a part of some place. Maybe now, that the stress of survival had waned, his mind had a chance to relax and regroup, going through its mess and jumble to come up with something - anything - to account for the huge gap where a life had been. Maybe. Or maybe he was just going crazy.
~~*~~
Xena:
What Is A Hero? (rewrite): "And did you say mortal?" added the bard. She looked to Ares. "Do you just let anyone take your Godhood or are you deliberately trying to lose it forever?"
Ares shook his head at her. "I didn't think it could happen... but you've become even *more* obnoxious since the last time I saw you..."
The Amazon King: "I'm fine, Xena," she said, her lips set in determination, "We're gonna work through this. I'll make sure they know Joxer's a good man, perfect for my King and Consort," she said, nodding to bring home her personal pledge, sealing it with a brief kiss to Joxer's lips. She sank into a hug, taking refuge in his steady warmth.
Only A Day: Rhonus rolled his eyes. "Is there a reason why you want to know so much about me?"
"Oh yeah," said Xena, leaning forward and peering into his eyes. "You see, you bear a striking resemblance to an ol' buddy o' mine. Such a striking resemblance in fact that I think you *are* him."
Meow For Me: Gabrielle looked up again and smiled incredulously, "Cause it's a good story!"
"Oh," I nodded, and looked back at the lute. "Is it cause he made her meow?"
Gods of Tomorrow (The Band sequel): "You stupid stuck up twat! Just suck my dick! What's up yo ass? It's a fucking big STICK!"
"Oh my Gods," Gabrielle chuckled, shaking her head. "Well... at least she's letting out her rage constructively."
"She's got a whooole lot of issues," murmured Joxer, eyes on the road. "And thanks to MTV, every teen in America knows about 'em."
~~*~~
The Secret Garden:
Harvest of the Mem Sahib: "You are wicked," she said softly. "When we are together all I wish to do is run away into the moors and live as a wild girl."
~~*~~
Star Trek: TNG:
The Starfleet Academy Series:
Beginning The Adventure: Wes shifted a glare and closed his eyes, trying his best to breath calmly. Great. Everyone knew. And every cadet that met him would ask him that same damned question. He figured he should have had a tattoo stating :"Yes, I am Enterprise Spawn," on his forehead.
Omnipotent: "Listen to me!" Jaraan's jokey manner was not there now - he was dead serious. "It's a scary world down there. Crime, dishonesty, greed, late night telemall shopping! You could be sucked in! You could so easily be lured into the life of this century, an' you wouldn't even notice it happening! I can get you the stuff you need, with you guys having minimal contact with people so's the timeline's not upset!"
Graduation: A warm ache spread through his middle. No. It hurt too much. He hated the thought of saying good-bye to her. It had seemed like such an easy thing to do not so long ago. When did that change? What could he do?
~~*~~
The Mummy Movies:
The Mummy Chronicles:
White Wedding: A heavy sigh lifted from her chest and she took his hand, stroking it gently. "I am sorry, darling! I feel terrible that I'm causing you all this trouble. I'm – I'm just a little frightened. What if they won't let you see me? What if you lose your standing by even being with me? I couldn't bear it if that happened and it was all my fault." In her worry she took his hand and clutched it to her bosom. Poor Ardeth was incapacitated by a struggle between his upbringing and his desires.
We'll Meet Again: "Hmm. What about you, then?" he said. Kalila glanced to Alex with a puzzled frown. "Well... I've seen you very serious today. Did you inherit any of Connie's playfulness or are you hiding it from me?"
Kalila looked down to her fidgeting hands, a tenseness in her jaw. "There is much I didn't inherit from my mother."
~~*~~
PHEW! That took me three days to complete, did you know that? The amount of digging and reading and picking the right sentence - fuck!
So if you ever wonder why I take such a long time to write things - now you know why!! :D
