We haven't played this game for a while.


The Pick Up line/Opening Line/First line Game

Post the first line of the main story or stories that you are working on.

Then, those of us reading them can reply with:
Does it or doesn't it make you want to read more?

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

His mother used to tell him when he was a small boy that fairs were the most amazing, wondrous, messy things.

Want to read more: Yes. This is great.
Genre: Mainstream/slice of life
What happens next: He actually goes to a fair and is seriously disappointed.

It's actually a fantasy story. It opens with him on the grounds of a medieval-style fair, where he is working for a merchant...At this point, he's actually just wanting to get some lunch, but he's about to run into some serious trouble...

I love the word messy in this description.

Thanks much!

Yes I would want to read more... Definitely has the potential to be fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, or magical realism.

Fantasy it is!

[mercury-hall.livejournal.com]

Want to read more: A little bit.
Genre: That weird Young Adult genre that's kind of it's own little thing.
What happens next: He finds out his mother met her one true love at a fair, but they couldn't be together.

YA? Moi? Hmmm....

[mercury-hall.livejournal.com]

Lol, are you not a YA person?

[knittingknots.livejournal.com]

Nope...not at all.

[mercury-hall.livejournal.com]

In case anybody's interested, you can read a chunk of this here: http://wordssurroundme.blogspot.com/2011/01/one-day-at-fair.html

Want to read more: Yes, its defintely a very catching line.

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.
