			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a meme going around writer blogs at the moment, thanks in part to <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/fangs_fur_fey/490709.html">a post</a> over on <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/fangs_fur_fey/">Fangs, Fur and Fey</a>. Basically, you post the opening lines to your finished works and <acronym title="Works in progress">WIPs</acronym>.</p>
<p>Alright then, here we go!</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
Blood Bound: <em>I didn&#8217;t believe in vampires until my brother came home from college as one of the undead.</em><sup><a href="http://catherine-haines.com/2009/07/first-line-meme/#footnote_0_417" id="identifier_0_417" class="footnote-link footnote-identifier-link" title="I know the one on the writing page is different, but this is the one I like best, and so do a lot of other people. The opening is being rewritten for many things, but restoring this line is a big part of it.">1</a></sup></p>
<p>Bones: <em>It was supposed to be the beginning of a new stage in her life, not the end of it.</em></p>
<p><strong>He Came From The Sea:</strong> <em>According to his older siblings, the humans called it a &#8220;body board&#8221;.</em><sup><a href="http://catherine-haines.com/2009/07/first-line-meme/#footnote_1_417" id="identifier_1_417" class="footnote-link footnote-identifier-link" title="This story mainly exists as a prologue and half a first chapter. The idea is fleshed out and ready to go, but unfortunately it&amp;#8217;s sitting on the side for the moment. Too many other projects at the moment.">2</a></sup></p>
<p>Lionheart: <em>Despite the fact that March was technically spring, the cool, gray day made it feel more like winter.</em></p>
<p>The Superhero Diaries: <em>&#8220;You okay up there?&#8221;</em><br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>There would be more posted here, but <em>Mirror, Mirror</em> was not written at all because I intended it to be my <a href="http://www.nanowrimo.org/">NaNo</a> project; now <em>The Circled Green</em> has that honour instead. And as for the other ideas in my head? Sadly they&#8217;re just that. Some do have opening lines &#8211; <em>Earthshakers</em> has one &#8211; but nothing has actually been written written yet.</p><ol class="footnotes"><li id="footnote_0_417" class="footnote">I know the one on the writing page is different, but this is the one I like best, and so do a lot of other people.
