So, I'm borrowing this idea from
karabair where I put the first lines of my fics out here in the ether, and you make up a little drabble, ficlet, thought, whatever with it in the comments.
1. Albert was failing school. The weather was turning warmer, Miss Wilder had a voice in just the right pitch to make a young man of fifteen close his mind off, and his seat was near the window. Plus, there were issues with the view.
2. Sex is a taboo in all religions. Most of the Bible belt religions view sex as a an ugliness that must be borne in order to bring about God's children within the confines of marriage.
3. One thing my Pawpaw did come back with from the war was a well developed sense of mean.
4. The first time I thought our family was weird was when I was six.
5. Buffy checked the ad to be sure she had the address right.
6. Buffy had an evil grin on her face as she shut off her computer. She sashayed into her bedroom and found her husband exactly where she found him every night.
7. It started off as a rehearsal. A private rehearsal
So, wanna play? Anything and everything is accepted and wanted!
[Edit] I've written a few for
karabair
ropo
and
dodyskin if you want to check them out. Come play with us, Daneeee....

Date: 2004-10-06 09:44 pm (UTC)"But you're not manly anymore," Xander said.
"What? Hey!" Spike leaned over him. "I was plenty manly when I was buggering you into the couch this morning!"
"So you think that's all it takes to be manly? The bits?"
Spike shrugged. "Depends, don't it? If manly's doing what's got to be done, and not being afraid to show what you're thinking, reckon you're more manly now than you were when you were shagging the demon bint."
"I think manly means not showing what you're thinking or feeling at all."
"What? Sod that. That's not manly. That's cowardly."
"And the fact that Angel is poster child for keeping it all inside?"
"Angel's a big girl's blouse is what Angel is," Spike grumbled.
Xander looked up at Spike, and shook his head. "Angel's a big girl's blouse? Is that the best you can come up with?"
"Don't have to come up with better, do I? Just a rehearsal for the Newspaper!verse is all."
"Oh. Yeah. Right. So why bother with the dialog at all when we could go straight to the sex?"
Spike considered this. Then shrugged, and tossed the newspaper over his shoulder. "When you're right, you're right."
"Bedroom?"
"I'll grab the lube."

Date: 2004-10-06 10:06 pm (UTC)Dude, I was telling Sue, I did 6 (7 with today's) 500-1000 word ficlets in 2 (now 3) evenings and updated one of my WIPs. That's a lot for me. I am world's slowest updater. No really, I have a trophy and mum and everything. /sleep deprived ramble
4. The first time I thought our family was weird was when I was six.
Date: 2004-10-07 12:40 am (UTC)Six taught me weird and seven taught me crazy. The drinking was normal but the drunk was sure the hell not. Laughing to herself as she hacked off my hair and yanked off my dress. Little boys don't wear dresses and little girls don't run around like I did.
Eight told me not right and nine such a shame. Ten brought me Social Services. Eleven got me a trip to Grandma's and twelve sent me right back where I belonged. Thirteen whispered out of control and fourteen chanted slut. Fifteen threw me out of school and sixteen?
Taught me Weird.
