Lines

[deelaundry]

Have some first lines to fics I may or may not write (except the Foreman one; that I'm writing).

I have always thought that my mother was beautiful. Her hair, her eyes, her smile, her unusual earlobes. It was a grave disappointment to discover many in my cohort did not share my assessment.

***

"We're not gay!" Wilson says in a voice that wants to rumble like thunder but instead floats like a cottonball cloud.

"Maybe you're not," Lucas says.

***

There have to be limits to self-loathing, Wilson had said once, which only goes to show you how firmly entrenched the man is in the clay-packed earth of denial.

***

If one more person makes one more fawning remark about Wilson's adorable new kitty-witty num-num-num, House is going to pukey-wukey over said person's shoes, shirt, and hair.

***

When Foreman walked in at three p.m. on the dot, the preschool classroom was bright, colorful, tidy, and completely empty.

***

“You really are incredibly easy.”

“What was that?’

“Easy and dumb. Throw in a pair of double-Ds and you’d be Christina Tulane from my high school. Her eyebrows weren’t quite as unruly, though.”

***

“Who uses last names all the time?”

“I know who. Hey, Walter, did you go to Phillips Andover for prep school?”

“Bite your tongue. I’m a Hotchkiss man. All the Kavanaghs go to Hotchkiss. I have a cousin there now and two more that will follow shortly. But enough of that. McKay, Wilson, the two of you have been thick as thieves for some time now.”

***

John learned about Rodney’s transfer from Katie Brown, of all people.

***

I'm sick of being a shithead, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop.

You're such a tease!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I'm just lazy and can't get going on writing (or finishing, as the case may be) these stories.

How are you? Tell me something fun from your life.

[sodiumbisulfite.livejournal.com]

You should definitely write this one: "

XD

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Looks like that's the consensus :D It's a long over-due RSL BD commitment, too, so I'll have to get going on it.

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Hee, kitten + Wilson... would that be for jane_hidell?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

She'll like it, probably, but actually it's for someone else. Now I just need to write it...

[hwshipper.livejournal.com]

Add me to the list of people wanting kitten fic!

Do you watch < ahref="http://www.e4.com/rickandsteve/">Rick and Steve? It's just the one on this week was all about their cat... and previously they went to Gay Mensa and I TOTALLY thought of Resolution and LOL'd. Sorry if I'm the last person in the world to get this.

[hwshipper.livejournal.com]

OK so my html tags kind of just failed me there.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't seen it -- sounds cool! Eeee, Gay Mensa!

[magie-05.livejournal.com]

Okay, this: If one more person makes one more fawning remark about Wilson's adorable new kitty-witty num-num-num, House is going to pukey-wukey over said person's shoes, shirt, and hair.

Reminds me of this:


EEEE I would LOVE to see you write that one. Perhaps complete with kitten-talk. 'Cancy-wancy' comes to mind for Wilson, lol <3

[jdr1184.livejournal.com]

SMACK FAIRY!!!! WIN!!!

[shutterbug-12.livejournal.com]

If one more person makes one more fawning remark about Wilson's adorable new kitty-witty num-num-num, House is going to pukey-wukey over said person's shoes, shirt, and hair. Favorite! It's been about five minutes and I'm still giggling madly. Golden. Total win.

Also, do first lines come to you easily? It's one of the hardest things for me. So often, so much of the rest of the fic pops into my head, but first lines love to evade me. Do they randomly strike you, and the rest of it follows, or do you mull over an idea for a while before you come up with your first lines?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Most of the time first lines are not too hard. Summaries, on the other hand, kill me. Ugh.

Usually, I'll think about plot/ideas/scenes for a while, but when I'm ready to write I start from the first line.

[jdr1184.livejournal.com]

I'm going to vote for the kitten one too and throw in the Lucas one. They sounds lots of fun.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

The kitten one I've got the major idea of the fic and a wee bit of the plot, so that'll go forward. With the Lucas one, all I have is the first lines. Hmmm.

[hannahrorlove.livejournal.com]

The first one reminds me of the old Bloom County strip where a man impresses a woman by speaking in French, even though he said her ears resemble fish heads.

More, please!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Did you guess who the narrator's mother is?

It's a Pillory follow-up. I have a lot more thinking to do about how the Code does and doesn't apply to children before I can write more on the fic.

[blackmare.livejournal.com]

The thing about the kitten? YOU MUST WRITE THAT. Must.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

[sookail.livejournal.com]

Right there with the n amount of people begging for the kitten!fic :D

Although, could it be that adorable new kitty-witty num-num-num might refer to sth else than a cat?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

*raises eyebrow*

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Forget kittens -- where there's a McKay and a Wilson beside each other, something awesome is sure to follow.

*sends support your way*

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

That's the next part of "Five Times James Wilson Was Sick Freshman Year" which has been back-burnered so long... I keep waiting for the Writing Fairy to come along and finish it for me. *sigh*

[xaipw.livejournal.com]

When Foreman walked in at three p.m. on the dot, the preschool classroom was bright, colorful, tidy, and completely empty.

Well, I'm totally intrigued by that because the thought Foreman in a preschool classroom is nothing of not amusing.

And you know I'm a sucker for any Sheppard/McKay or Wilson/McKay.
Whatever happened to that fic where McKay and Wilson were college roommates? :batting:

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

The Foreman one is more than halfway written; I've just got writer's block for the rest. *sigh* (It's a sequel to Zulu's mpreg fic, by the way.)

Whatever happened to that fic where McKay and Wilson were college roommates? :batting:

That's what the Kavanagh bit is from. I know what happens, I just can't get the energy to get going on it. *double sigh*

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

I want to know more about Foreman and the preschool.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

That fic is more than halfway written; I keep pulling up the Word doc and getting writer's block. Ugh. I know the entire plot -- have since I started writing months ago -- but actually getting the words down is difficult for some reason.

[hibernia1.livejournal.com]

I want you to finish them ALL. I'm greedy that way. And love your stories.

Seriously, write what you want and when you want to, writing should be fun, not just hard work and thinking of the right words (this is me being frustrated). Whatever you finish, I'll read with eagerness!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! You are always very sweet and supportive -- makes me feel so warm inside. :D ♥

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

If you don't write 2 and 4, I'll cry :D

I like all of those.

(Icon refers to me - I've just remembered I didn't reply to you sending me the 'so far' version of the Foreman one (I got depressed, sigh) - I'll have another look and email you).

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

4, definitely. 2, I don't have anything past those first lines.

:D

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

That ABOFAL skit is awesome. We'll see when I get around to kitten. It's a kitten fic with a secret, though.

[pinglederry.livejournal.com]

Am I the only one who wants to know what Lucas has to say next? *pouts*

But Pillory-fic is always good. I guess I've just seen too many kitten stories to really be excited for another one.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

No, a few others have asked for the Lucas one. I just have no idea what else goes on in that story.

Pillory is the opposite problem -- I know a lot that goes on, but it's a matter of getting it written down.

[spoggly.livejournal.com]

These are awesomeeeee.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

TYVM.

[savemoony.livejournal.com]

I DEMAND YOU WRITE THE KITTY ONE. AND HERE: INSPIRATION http://savemoony.livejournal.com/166234.html#cutid1 !!!!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Alright, alright, alright! Kitty one it is. Sheesh.
