The Year in Fic meme
Dec. 29th, 2007 09:50 amI did this last year, and so it seems to be a tradition, or something. I'm actually a little sad to see how little I wrote, billions of pages of teh crack aside. All King Arthur fic. I really need to get back into the Greek mythology. Maybe I should reread the Iliad again . . . .
The first line of the first fic posted each month this year:
January. Words Unspoken:
Arthur was nearly asleep when he felt Lancelot lay down beside him.
February. Half Awake:
Lancelot woke with a start, unsure of where he was.
March. Untitled Resurrection ficlet:
Lancelot was watching Arthur and not bothering to hide it.
April. First Impressions (drabble):
They’d had so many commanders that Bors joked it was pointless to learn names: "Call’em sir to their faces; bastards to their backs."
May. In Twilight’s Kingdom:
Lancelot stood on a wide plain, listening to the wind moving through the swaying sea of grass.
June. None, except some Resurrection question memes. The first one of the month began:
The first time Lancelot drank coffee, everyone was very sorry (except him).
July. Prelude:
Arthur sat slumped in a dark corner of the tavern, as indifferent to the soldiers carousing around him as they were to him.
August. The Coming of Spring (drabble):
They watch for them.
September. None
October. None
November. None
December. Rumors of War (see, I was working on something!):
The trip back from Eboracum passed as a gray haze, punctured by occasional small flares of dread at the sight of each landmark signaling their progress toward Badon Hill.
Not quite as exciting as I would have liked, but it’s certainly too late to change it. May next year bring more time and inspiration for fun with words.
