Stolen from celestineangel : List the first lines of your last ten fics and draw some conclusions.

Of my current WIPS:

Thomas Harrison leaned against the wall of the North Sea tavern. --Privateer Plundered

When the settlement delegation entered the encampment, Kane was being fucked. --Barbarossa's Bitch

Sean O'Neill waited on the doorstep of the penthouse, swallowing hard. --untitled Cyberpunk

From forthcoming stories

He stared out the port, trying not to pick at the lace ruff of his costume as he watched the gas giant beneath the station turn lazily. --Breathe Deep

“Swallow it, boy.” --Long Term

I was seven when Mama married the human. --Songs for Guitar and French harp, WILD PASSIONS

As the smell of burned popcorn hit his nose, Sam realized that Billy had been sulking most of the day. --Thigh to Thigh


From recently published

Emily stared out the window at Orion the Hunter. --Orion Rising, LIKE AN IRON FIST

Get on up here and shut that door fast! --Still Rolling, ZOMBIALITY

The great luxury airship, Star of the Sky , cruised elegantly against the August sunset, her engines churning along, her colorful dirigible envelope full. --Sky-Rat


I tend to start a story with something about to happen, with someone waiting for something to happen.
Three of them actually start with sex, Barbarossa's Bitch, Long Term and Orion Rising. Two of them are first person.

Five futuristics, one dieselpunk, one steampunk, one swashbuckler, two contemporaries.
