writing patterns

[list the first line of your last ten fics and see if there's a pattern.]

Oooo~ Thank you for the tag, @cealesti!! <3 This looks fun!

Let's see...

thrown into the nest - HP

Harry had assumed he was a beta.

2. There's Love (if you want it) - HP

The night he returned from delivering Gryffindor’s sword to the Forest of Dean, Severus Snape sat in the headmaster’s office – ostensibly his office, though he’d never felt more false in his nearly twenty years as a double agent than he did in this new role – and made a decision for himself.

3. like those palaces in fairy tales - HP

The end of the war is a blur to Harry.

4. A long, hard road - HP

When Harry comes to in a dark room with no real idea of where he is, his body and mind freeze, immediately kicked into a loop of fear and pain and nononononotagain–

5. unfailingly ingenious at having a good time - HP

It had started with academic curiosity on Hermione’s part; Ron might have been a little quick on the follow-through, though.

6. wake-up call - HP

It happens while he’s having a long-overdue visit with Ginny.

7. at the seams - HP

The thing about being an outcast who has no hope of being included is that you can watch other people from the outside.

8. engrave the silhouette of you - HP

He comes to in a pile of rubble, dust slowly settling around him in vaporous drifts.

9. __-tober 2023: The Promptening - HP

There’s a man crouched in front of him, and Harry’s not sure why or when that happened.

10. crave gets slaked - HP

Harry found himself thinking about that night.

I hadn't realized how many stories I've written from Harry's perspective lately. I flip between POVs in a few of these fics, but it looks like I like to start with Harry.

I'm glad that most of these fics start with fairly short sentences. I know I can get carried away with n-dashes and semicolons and endless commas (giving you some side-eye, #2). But at least the introduction to most of these fics isn't that rambly.

These sentences also show I tend to focus on the characters and their interactions. I don't usually bother to include much description. It's something I worry is a weak point in my writing, but whenever I try to include more it feels clumsy and excessive. Perhaps it's just part of my style.

As for the titles, I really need to pick a capitalization style and stick with it... Also, the contrast between the trying-to-sound-deep ones and the silliness. It's a thing.

I'm getting nervous about tagging people because I don't want to be a pest. (Which is silly, because I was thrilled to be tagged in this, so other people probably would be, too. And yet...) So, if you see this and you want to participate, do it! And tag me so I can see your responses, please~
