Likeastrogirl, I remembered doing one of these...but was startled to discover that the last iteration I'd posted was almost two and a half years back, and that I'd written enough in the interval that almost three-quarters of these are new. (As it turns out, she'd done another more recently that I didn't pick up.) In any event, this one is sufficiently different that I'm willing to go ahead and commit. I'm also going to reframe a bit, because (a) also like astrogirl, I dislike the "tag" format, and (b) I like the interactive element of the meme process, and this one came to me a bit light in that department. So:
List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!).
(1) Choose your favorite opening line.
(2) See if there are any patterns.
(3) Invite your readership to choose their favorite(s) from the list, and/or to ask questions about particular entries in the list.
(4)
( The 20 sentences: )
( The answers: )
So: which of these makes you most want to click through for the rest of the story? And indeed, feel free to post your own lists with associated commentary.
