The problem of living in another time zone from the majority of my lj-friends is that I'm asleep when all the fun starts. Loved reading the story openings! Very impressive! Made me wish I had them all as finished novels lined up in my book shelf. Who knows? Maybe one day I will! And...of course now I must jump off the cliff with everyone else:

The Dar Caldrin Hunt: Lochar pushed back the worn shutter to let in a gust of salty air.

The Mage King: “Why have you come?”

Mind, Body and Soul: Louis Wallace looked like a sausage.

Elpida: With the tip of his finger, Jonathan Shingler pushed his notebook back and forth before finally arranging the black leather binding so that it rested perpendicular to the edge of the table

Arvingen: Første gang Bue så Grå Ege, var det så koldt, at rimfrosten dækkede landskabet med funklende hvide krystaller. (The first time Bue saw Grey Oaks, it was so cold that the hoar frost covered the landscape with sparkling white crystals.)

The Inquisitor: I was sixteen, when I killed my lover.

Yay! This is so cool!

I can't wait to see these on the shelf too! :D

I LOVE Mind, Body and Soul *grins*

Hehe...thank you.

Mind, Body and Soul is my only finished piece. Now I'm looking for a good home for it.

SAUSAGE! Hahaha! Dude, that's an awesome opening line. :D

And of corse Arvingen, of which I understood nothing until you translated. :D

(and ooo, death...)

Thank you! I can't take credit for the line, though. It was something C said one evening we were watching TV, and I thought it was so funny, I had to write a story for it. :)

I'm glad you decided to do the meme. Isn't this a great one?

You have some great openings. I think my favorites of yours are Mind, Body, and Soul, Arvingen, and The Inquisitor.

[frigg.livejournal.com]

Thank you. You too!

Oooh! What's the inquisitor? Is that a new novel? That's a great first line!!!

[frigg.livejournal.com]

Hehe...it's a old short story. It was ripped to shreds in the workshop, and I never got round to fixing it. But it's definitely the darkest thing I've written, which is probably why you liked it. *grin*

Oooh, nice!
