lucathiaHow about some ending lines? I noticed a pattern and thought it was...interesting, haha. Last 21 ending lines from fics I published. Chapters are included as separate endings.
Oh, and I hit 1000 LJ posts 4 posts ago. Didn't even know. XD;
1. He thought as much.
2. I won't let you separate Alice and Eagle!
3. Surely he was over thinking this.
4. And in this case, even when he didn't want to call on it.
5. As if I wanted my door kicked again!
6. Maybe I should take up cleaning after all.
7. I didn't think I would ever understand, so I decided to stop asking.
8. "My girlfriend will be exasperated."
9. With that, both of them opened their respective doors and headed inside.
10. Surely, he could allow him this behind closed doors?
11. How dare you disrupt my plans!
12. "Let's restart this fight."
13. That was what he thought as he knocked on the Ice Knight's door once again, scent of blueberry muffins beckoning him inside.
14. Apparently, they weren't.
15. A very nice and misunderstood dark elf.
16. "...You better do it gracefully," Grisia added unhelpfully.
17. He was fine.
18. "What do you think?"
19. Their third and fourth quarters yet await.
20. "Tea?" Chasel asked.
21. Please be safe, Prince, please.
Wow, do I have an obsession with doors or something? I mention it four times!! They're not even from the same fic... Or even the same fandom. #9 is Don't Assassinate the Pigeons, which is an Oresama Teacher fic while the others are LSK.
Hahahaha, oh, how simplistic my writing is...These seem even shorter than my beginning lines. Looking at my sentences like this really drives home how my sentences are usually fairly short. Can't get much shorter than #17, though that one I remember doing on purpose. #13 is one where I took a more omniscient POV (The Road to Becoming Impressive), so I suppose that's why it's longer than the rest.
I sure like my pronouns, huh? It's all "he, he, he" and "I, I, I."
Many of the endings are also either thought or dialogue, hm. Some thought I italicized, while some I didn't (but they're still thought). And if they're not thinking something, I'm telling you they're thinking, haha. "He thought as much." "Surely he was over thinking this." "I didn't think I would ever understand, so I decided to stop asking." "That was what he thought as he..."
Oh gods, I should just stop myself from using the word "think." This is just from my ending lines too...
And then of course I'll end up using it right away again. =P

Date: 2013-04-17 04:36 am (UTC)Now I'm curious how I end each chapter...

Date: 2013-04-24 01:23 am (UTC)There is nothing wrong with liking your pronouns - I certainly love mine. Besides, all the nouns were probably very much used along the chapter, so by the ending line we can save ourselves the trouble.
Now off to look for the last stuff I wrote and check their endings... Thanks for the idea!

Date: 2013-04-24 03:57 am (UTC)I do like using pronouns a lot, haha.
After laying out my ending lines like this and discovering that I use the word "think" a lot, I've been noticing it in my stories! I've also been looking at my summaries to see if there are any similarities there (there are).
