Today I realised I nearly missed the join up deadline for [livejournal.com profile] picfor1000, which would have been tragic because that challenge is important to me. This will be my 4th year, but more than that, I wrote my first bandom story for that challenge -- the comment fic I hid in comments before that doesn't count

I realised when I was pulling first lines together for the below meme. Of course, because I fail at tagging always, I realised I was missing fic, so had to go through my archives month by month.

Anyway, meme. Post the first line from a fic written each month I have to work up to the full end of year writing meme.

January -- Mikey lies back and stretches out his arms, moving his hands and tail-fluke in small lazy circles, just enough that he can float in place and stare up at the moon. Hang The Moon

February --

March --

April -- Brendon's life goes to hell one sunny September afternoon. When Day is Night Alone

May -- "We should turn back," Mikey says, his voice slightly muffled, like he's talking from under a layer of clothes. Dug in the Deep

June -- Usually, it's easy to live alongside Frank. Linchpin co-write with [livejournal.com profile] sperrywink

July -- There's no actual evidence that Ryan's been taken, but Spencer knows -- he knows. The Keys to Unlock You

August -- Bob doesn't consider himself a violent guy. Four Times Bob Needed To Keep An Eye On His Band

September --

October -- Bob's busy sorting his laundry when Frank opens the door and says, "I want to buy Mikey a gift." Grey Crimson Skies

November -- Frank hands his guitar to the nearest tech and gives a last triumphant wave to the audience before leaving the stage. Hidden in Plain Sight

December -- "You're needed in the pens," Rolof says, and leans against the fence, his elbows hooked over the orange-painted slats. Standing on the Grave of Dreams

It's exactly that which makes it such a challenge for me. 1000 words are nothing really, fitting in a complete story and one based on a prompt too, is insane. And yet I love it.

I love that you can produce links like that ♥

I hope I get a good picture too. Whatever I get tradition says it'll be a Way centric story.

I did tag them. I need a post it note saying, tag your stuff, idiot!

It's because I have such an awesomely organised delicious :-D

You've done it twice for bandom, right? That totally makes it a tradition. (Once is didn't-happen, twice is a tradition, and trice is from-time-immemorial!)

Freakishly organised delicious!

Yep. The bottle fic then the mermen. So reality to way out AU. Maybe I'll go in-between this time.

I like that saying!

Thank you for the [livejournal.com profile] picfor1000 reminder! Food this year!

I also fail at tagging, so much.

I'm excited to see my picture tomorrow!

I really thought I'd been doing well with tagging fic at least, and then, no. I suck at it hard core.
