By way of [livejournal.com profile] yhlee, a meme that looks like fun to me:

Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted [note: "posted" seems to be geared towards fanficcers, so let's go with "submitted to magazines"], the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.

***Please do not use any titles you do not want me to seriously run with. I don't guarantee I will seriously run with anything. But this sort of thing sometimes makes my brain go and go.

"The Evil Inkling"

I most appreciated the multiple levels of irony embedded in this story--- not just the protagonists' farcial misreading of Lewis, but also the entirely different spin on the story given how I know you really feel about Charles Williams. The consistently misquoted Tolkien is a brilliant satire.

first line: When I was eight years old, I knew with confidence that worlds like Narnia were not real. By the time I was seventeen, I had learned differently.

last line: "Gorblimey if it won't be mutton again two days from now," Tom said, and I punched him.

difficulties: it was really the right thing to do with Charles Williams, but having to read those books gave me hives. I blame you still.
