Fan fic meme

[swordznsorcery]

A couple of you have done this, and I thought I'd join in, as once again I haven't posted in ages. And this is easy!

List the first sentence (or two because a couple of those first sentences are quite short) of each of the last ten fics you posted.

The sky screamed with the fury of a thousand owls.
Growth And Decay (The Gormenghast Trilogy)

"Hove to, and prepare to be boarded!"
Never A Dull Moment (Blake's 7)

"I don't think this is London," said Ian, from the doorway of the TARDIS.
Tomorrow (Doctor Who)

They stood together at the end of it all, in a pool of black light, watching the last of the stars fade.
Ebb And Flow (Sapphire & Steel)

Cutter still blamed Helen.
Toothmarks (Primeval)

Sometimes the Earth died in fire.
Fire & Brimstone (Captain Jack)

There was green upon the air once again.
The Green Woman (Robin Of Sherwood)

"It's Christmas," observed Sapphire, with a trace of wonder in her tone.
Assignment 3½ (Sapphire & Steel)

For all the undoubted blessings and benefits that he had discovered in the 1960s, there were, thought Adam Adamant, one or two definite failings also to be found in that august decade.
The Violet Viper (Adam Adamant Lives!)

Clocks ticked. So many clocks, lining the walls, ticking and tocking away the seconds of inexorable time.
Drabble (Doctor Who)

[swordznsorcery]

Hello! And yes, do it. :)

[tinx_r]

I just did, lol :D

Thanks :)

[swordznsorcery]

Hurrah! :)

Ooh, you have lots of great ones! I think I especially like The sky screamed with the fury of a thousand owls. but it's hard to choose.

[swordznsorcery]

You can't go wrong with an owl!

Thank you. :)

Never dull! I like the owls one as well:)

Thanks! Have you read any Peake? His Gormenghast Trilogy makes a good bedfellow with LoTR. Harder to get into perhaps - some people say not a lot happens, although it does. It's not exactly an action adventure though! Beautiful use of language.

Are you doing this meme?

[liadt]

No, I haven't read any Peake, don't know why, but I haven't!

I haven't planned to do this meme as I'm lazy, although with doing drabbles it'd be more exciting than usual as I normally have a character doing something unexciting like walking or saying something to start a fic off.

"They stood together at the end of it all, in a pool of black light, watching the last of the stars fade."

That really is lovely.
