Thanks so very much for the tag @mamabearcat! It was such fun to read yours, and now, I am happy to share mine!
What did I learn? That if I were to take a class in writing first lines, I would fail. Like for real. Most of them are super boring (oops). But this was still fun to do!
My favorite opening line?
Inuyasha and Kagome were having sex. -- Sango’s Secret
Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favorite authors!
I’m going to try and tag some different people here, who I hope haven’t been tagged yet 💖
Special thanks to @neutronstarchild for making a banner for this one--you are magical and we are so lucky to have you as a part of this fandom 😘
