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 Day My Uncle Bob Wiped out the Etruscans

Date: 2009-09-17 02:50 am (UTC)It was pure chance that allowed me to figure out I even had an Uncle Bob--he was a changeling, too, or I'd never have met him.
last: Most people grossly underestimate the effects of fungus on the fall of civilizations. After Uncle Bob, I never will.
hardest: Trying to keep the voice original and not get too much Delia Sherman in it.
