Seven seven writing meme

[amberdreams]

I got blooming tagged by the wicked firesign10 to take part in this meme, when I should be doing a hundred other things. So of course, I couldn't resist!

The challenge is to pull seven lines from the seventh page of your WIP. Then you're supposed to tag seven other writers.

The problem is that all my many (too many!) WIPs are pretty short, not one runs to seven pages, so I've picked out the seventh paragraph instead.

The first time she sleeps over is the first time Dean hears it.

Not that he thinks there will be much actual sleeping going on in Sam’s room.  She won’t be slow to make the most of this opportunity to get Sam in the sack, Dean’s sure.  In fact, Dean thinks he can hear them getting it on, not that he is wandering down the corridors in the middle of the night to check on his baby brother, no way.  So he’s standing stock still outside Sam’s bedroom door, when he realises the noise he’s hearing isn’t heavy breathing or moans in the throes of passion, but a quiet scratch, scratch, scratching.  And the noise isn’t coming from his brother’s room.  No, it’s coming from the walls.  Dean pales a little.

Shit.  The bunker has rats.  Dean hates rats.

Ok, this is also a tad longer than seven lines so ok, ok, I haven't really managed this meme at all, have I? Never mind, here's my tags, hopefully you will do a better job of this than I have!

Oooh, I like! who's Sam getting it on with?? :D

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Poor Sam, he's got a girlfriend and you know that can't be good (for either of them...)

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Rats - oh no poor Dean!! I'm certainly intrigued.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Or are they...? Either way, you can bet things are going to get worse before they get better!

"not that he is wandering down the corridors in the middle of the night to check on his baby brother, no way" - is Dean jealous or worried, hee hee! And is it really rats or something more sinister...

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Good question... I started this about 3 years ago and now I'm thinking maybe I should do something with it!

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

Oh please do!

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Ahhh your snippet! Sounds so interesting, b oth Sam having a lady friend, and the bunker having rats! I love that Dean's just like, lurking outside the room.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I can totally see Dean wanting to 'supervise'...

[laughablelament]

Mmmm, Sam brought a girl to the Batcave? No wonder Dean's (totally not) freaking out. Heehee. Everything upthread. Wonderful sense of foreboding!

I am thinking I really should do something with this fic - it's been languishing for a long time!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Who's Sammy getting it on with?!?! :D

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Whoever it is, you know it won't end well...

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

No, she may as well be wearing a yellow Star Fleet Uniform! lol!

[monicawoe.livejournal.com]

an intriguing snippet! Who is Sam getting it on with?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

A bit of a mystery, huh? Whoever it is, you know it won't end well - for either of them...

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

Dean and rats. Yes.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Poor Dean!

[crowroad3.livejournal.com]

Oh crap, the bunker's haunted, again! Scratching in the walls and Sammy's mysterious lover--sign me up.Great juxtaposition of "firsts" in the first line.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Damn, I think I'm going to have to finish this one now... LOL

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

Oh, dear. I think rats are probably the best case scenario when it comes to mysterious scratching in the walls . . .

This being SPN, I'm afraid you might be right...
