A meme!
I've been enjoying reading this on other ljs, and was tempted beyond resistance. Particularly because my brain is full of drugs for my foot. Which seems ridiculous, since they are at opposing ends.
"Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!"
1. “If Mr Malfoy would care to inform us which of his family’s priceless collection of Dark Artefacts was stolen this morning, I will explain who the thief is and why we should all be deeply worried.”
2. They call us their technical advantage, no one uses the M word, except the children.
3. 'Merlin, Potter, just because I’m an idiot, you’re meant to be a role model who’s above this sort of nonsense.’
4. Hermione pulled a bottle of ginger beer from her bag with a flourish, and declared, ‘After lunch, puppies!’
5. They found Lucius on Via Tornabuoni, sitting outside Palazzo Strozzi, chatting merrily in Italian.
6. “You can’t know what it’s like, though, to come out of that world of tedium and grind, and to be shown something so beautiful, and then to have it broken apart around you.”
7. So as I write, I picture you, friendly, kind, concerned about the hand that scrawled these cramped notes on second-rate parchment.
8. You’re a lovely girl, Granger, you deserve better than a ginger.
9. “It is quite possible that Ron will kill me if I don’t put you out of your misery, so I am going to say yes.”
ETA: Oh god, I forgot one!
10. ‘And continue to do exactly what the aristocracy tell them to, bless their tabloid hearts.’
I think it may be time to add No-Doze to the drug cocktail, since I may never sleep again ...

On another topic, even the structure and joy of your excerpts shames me into considering hanging up my writing fingers and taking up macramé.
*hugs and sends pain relieving thoughts*
I made banana spice bread today - you could have some if you weren't so bloody far away. :(

And Sppppppp! (is sound of raspberry) The MADNESS of the context, Mere! The madness!
Mmmmm, can smell the bread ... or that could be the drugs again.

We just had some with icecream and maple syrup. Mmmmm
There's plenty left. ;)

and now for some strange reason I'm trying to work out if there's any possible common etymology between prehensile and reprehensible, and whether Lucius encompasses both in equal measure

Alas, my only work in progress contains such gems as:
"However, the garnets of sample 39463, while richer in almandine than the other components in the rims, have cores wherein spessartine is the largest component (Figure 4 6, Table 4 2)."
no subject
Since the highest level of spessartine in the double-cored grain is just less than that in the single-cored grain at its core-rim boundary and that level of spessartine is achieved in the same analysis point as the highest level of grossular in that grain, and the single-cored garnet achieved its highest level of grossular at the core-rim boundary, the double-cored grain is interpreted to represent an off-centre slice through the pair of grains along the core-rim boundary of those grains.
80 words, but I just couldn't find a more concise way to say it, and it needed to be said...

I have just started a funny birthday fic for a friend that will be amusingly diverting for the weekend if you need it ;-)
no subject
Right now I'm working my way through your list of your fic in the order you list it. I did start one at random the first evening I found your list, and I appear to have lost it, because none of the descriptions there now seem to match, but I didn't make time to finish it that night, and now I want to, though, in that case, it is rather more like the way one stares, fascinated, at a train wreck. Did I really see the start of a story about a pregnant Draco? Must have, I couldn't have imagined that, so matter how behind I am with my uni work...
no subject
Some good jokes if you need a giggle, though ... In the tags sidebar under single wizard's guide. If you can hold off a couple of weeks I have half of the third part written and just need to finish up some minutes, a garden story and a quick birthday fic before I complete it ;-)
Oh! And avoid These Fragile Bonds for the moment. It is in massive need of updating and will just be frustrating at this point, but I need to finish Fathers before I tackle it.
And, you know, work on my actual novel ...

And I will be finishing Number 1 shortly, because it is v short and, in addition to being owed to a good friend, will not distract you from your thesis, unlike one of the other numbers ;-)

And I really hope we aren't required to guess. I didn't realise you had so many things going on (or not going on).
Re: head and foot-drugs. It must be something like having to don a cap when your feet are cold?
Oh yeah. Might steal this meme.
no subject
I think that it should all be taken as proof that I have been working on the sundry things I am meant to be working on. Although the puppy one can be safely left on the backburner for a while ;-)
There's actually one more that needs to be whipped up for a birthday, but I only have the outline, no actual lines. And I like your cap, foot idea!
no subject
One other is on hiatus and two others are discontinued: one, because I lost interest in that fandom, and the second because it wasn't going anywhere, I just started it on a whim for a prompt community. But at least there are only three like that.
Hm. If I tried to post a line from each fic I once started and didn't get to finish... let's just say I'd need to put it under an lj-cut. :P

I have exactly one, and here's my random line:

You know the story, but I don't think you've read that part yet.

I'm out of the loop. What happened to your foot? I feel like I never talk to you anymore. *pouts*
Please write these. Pretty please?
