And for the fun of it:
Guess the genre?
Guess what happens next?

Date: 2011-02-19 06:18 pm (UTC)Genre: Little uncertain, could really open up to go in any direction. But I pick fantasy because it's my favourite.
What happens next: I would guess that an actual fair comes into play, although for better or worse is questionable.
Very nice start, really love the descriptors you used.

Date: 2011-01-27 01:21 pm (UTC)Genre: I'm going to say fantasy, just because you use the word tavern instead of bar or pub.
What happens next: Something bad happens at the tavern.

2) A throbbing headache was nagging at his temples, and as he slowly traveled toward consciousness, he wondered whether or not he truly wanted to wake up.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-28 12:25 am (UTC)Want to read more: Sure
Genre: YA or maybe Romance
What happens next: Suzie goes through with it and it does turn out to be a terrible idea but the bad result drives the rest of the story.
Number 2
Want to read more: I'm on the fence with this one because waking up with a headache isn't quite gripping until you know why the character has one. So I'd read on to get more info and then decide.
Genre: No idea. Could be anything!
What happens next: Hungover, he manages to get up and fetch a cup of coffee.

Date: 2011-03-11 10:09 pm (UTC)More than one sentence but literally all I have of the story...
Date: 2011-03-11 10:08 pm (UTC)We traveled to a world where Morse code became our own personal language. "I suppose this is good," he said in dots and dashes, "since I could never find the right words to tell you how beautiful you are." So I suppose this is good. But I wish I could hear him say my name again.
