mrissa: (question)

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.

I thought there was absolutely nothing new or interesting to be said about the Barber paradox, but somehow adding magic and complicated politics in What We Did to Shave the Kingdom made it fresh again. Bravo!

first: The barber had not gotten much work at court until the Cherivan embassy arrived. Everyone knew that the pattern of a man's beard told you far more about his character than the lines on his hand or the moment of his birth, so the barber was only employed to prepare spies for their departure into lands less knowledgeable in the ways of barbometrics.

last: "The wax is almost hot enough," she said. The barber winced.

difficulties: Keeping track of who knew what and who had double-crossed whom was hard.
