Meme

[rivkat]

Trying to wake my muse, who sleeps more than the Rivkid:

A-- go to my website and pick out a line or two from one of my stories.

B-- I will respond with which story I think it's from.

C-- points and a snippet or drabble to anyone who stumps me.

Available fandoms: Smallville, X-Files, Threshold, Veronica Mars, Dead Zone, Nip/Tuck

A glimpse of the back of his neck, brushed by hair as thick and glossy as sable, could almost inspire sonnets. At least, it could delay the quarterly reports, which was nearly as terrible.

He was warm, and God, the smell of him, cocoa butter and something tart, still the same. All of it the same, skin smooth as the inside of an oyster's shell, the blood so terribly close to the surface.

He stood in silence in the kitchen, still his home, still warm and cheerful after a hundred years of hearty farm cooking. Over the years, he'd replaced more than a few of the beams holding the ceiling up, not even counting the one he'd broken himself.

The pain reminds him of all the pain he's causing by not having won yet.

It's really interesting what I notice abour people's writing with this meme...you, for example, use names a lot, i.e., many, many lines are identifiable by fandom at least.

And since this is a hard line...I'll add another one from that story if you need it :-)

He knew this trick; he did, really. Small kindness after great pain would break a man when the pain alone would never suffice.

When he looked at her like that, eyes as hard as stone, she thought
that living in his memory might be enough.

Oh, I'm definitely playing this one:

"I've been in politics for over a year now. I can accept just about anything."

Even if we don't win, is it too much to hope you'll ever write Nip/Tuck fic? I know, I know, half the time the show reads like fanfiction. Still: you + N/T = me(thrilled)

Hee! Cute meme ...

Outside, the lights of midtown made New York City glow, an endless carnival.

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

Okay, this one I know: Incarnadine.

But if you give me a prompt I'll try anyway.

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I think that's The Presence of Fire, but I'm not certain.

Re: Hee! Cute meme ...

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

Yikes. It might be Diplomat? Since I'm all but guessing, you can give me a prompt either way.

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

Golden Rule ... I think?

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

Maybe Golden Rule?

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

Damn. Acadia?

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

Maybe ... The Presence of Fire?

[cathexys.livejournal.com]

Wow, you're good!! (especially considering that you have a couple of stories with similar dystopian futuristic moments :-)

I wanted to use the white teeth moment, b/c for some reason that always stood out for me, but all the sentences had Chloe or Lex in them...

Re: Hee! Cute meme ...

[ingrid-m.livejournal.com]

Aw nuts! You got it. :)

Ooh, I wouldn't mind a little X-Files, for nostalgia.

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

I got nothin'. I will give N/T a go, though you should be warned that it may well be Kimber/Christian. What can I say? I started out as a het writer.

[jadedsilver.livejournal.com]

Yep!

[snarkist.livejournal.com]

It doesn't matter; his presence fills the room so that he's up against her skin.

[gianna24.livejournal.com]

You got it. Damnit. I wanted a Nip/Tuck drabble....

[pinkfinity.livejournal.com]

Speaking of Rivkid, I have a prezzie to send. Email me your snail mail addy?

[raveninthewind.livejournal.com]

Drat, you are too good! Was hoping for that drabble because Iactually thought of a prompt.

[chase820.livejournal.com]

It's from "Blood and Breath." I picked an X-Files fic 'cause I figured you'd be less familiar with those, then chose a line that sounds like something Lex could say. When a drabble by you is at stake, I'm more ruthless than he is.

I have no qualms whatsoever with Christian/Kimber, or any other pairing you choose to write. I'm simply thrilled to hear you are in author mode again.

Because that's sooo him:

"He paused for a moment and reached for a pink sugar packet, which caused other packets to spill from the overstuffed container. He didn't put them back."
