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 ...

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 ...
