WIP meme

I've seen this meme going around: When you see this, share 3 random lines from 3 WIPs.

And I laughed, because WIPs? Oh yeah, I have those. I have those coming out of my ears *grins*. So here's three snippets for your perusal.


ONE

He’s shorter than Cap, and she thinks he’d be shorter still but he has big black boots on, with metal toecaps and buckles. Kate really likes those boots. If you kicked someone with those boots on it’d really hurt and if anyone stood on you it wouldn’t hurt at all. And they look cool.


TWO

Natasha watches him blinking into awareness and taking stock of the room before asking, “How are you feeling?” She says it in a way that makes it sound like she doesn’t care about the answer. Not because she doesn’t care, although she probably doesn’t, but because she already knows the answer and is asking to be polite, as if someone has told her that that’s what she’s supposed to do in this kind of situation.


THREE

“Wait, wait, wait, no,” says Tony. “Steve. No. Think about this. Think about the bobblehead dolls! This is the bobblehead dolls all over again, Steve. Helping people is a bad thing. We’ve established this. Steve!”

“He did get shot,” Bruce offers up.

I need all three of those in my life.... like, NOW.

Are you doing the Hawkeye Big Bang??

Happy to beta-read One ... ;-)

Hawkeye Big Bang. Enigma and Andibeth (Find the Sea) and I are doing it. It's another author-artist match-up, so you may want to get in on the action ... ;-) Here's the link:

I have to get my act together and start writing for the Feb15 drafts-due deadline; I'm about 3,000 words in (minimum is 10k, but this will NOT be another Second Mouse/Locust Wind type opus). Luckily, I have a gazillion flights to be on between now and then!

Send it along via e-mail. Can't promise 24 hour turnaround but will try my best.

As for long fic - with SM and LW I kinda knew where they needed to end up, but I just managed to post one under 1400 words! ;-)

1400, not 14,000! ;-)

Ooh, I really like both #1 and #2! Can I ask about the context of the fics they're from?

Oh, fun! :)
