A meme!

[blamebrampton]

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 ...

Oh. Intriguing. Now, please stop doing silly memes and get on with writing these!

*Puppy eyes*

Darling, what have you done to yourself and why are you on drugs? I am pretty sure I should have noticed a post about this ... am I the worst friend in the world?

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. :(

I love that image of Lucius 'chatting merrily' - oversized icecream cone in one hand and straw boater in the other, to fan himself with? Hee, genial grandfather Lucius, how lovely.

I'm sure. :)

Oh, I particularly like #1, will you please finish the accompanying story for that one next?

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)."

PS I hope the foot returns to a non-drug needing state promptly!

And now, you post sentences based on these WIPs that they don't yet contain (but will).

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.

#4 and #8 are things I NEED to read. :)

[melusinahp.livejournal.com]

Lol, I'm loving these, but they are also frustrating. I want all these fics right now! ;)

asdfjkl; These memes always just make me pout, because by the time they get posted, I will have forgotten that I wanted to read it!

[jadzialove.livejournal.com]

OH! I had no idea you had so many going on at once. I would be out of my mind.

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

"He was a bastard, but he was our bastard, I reckon."

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

Oh! I stole your meme but never commented - poor form, indeed!

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?
