Challenge #17: Novels

[jigofspite.livejournal.com]

So, it's 1159pm PST. You know what that means! Challenge #16 is officially closed. (Now, of course if you have something you really really want to post for the challenge, I'll give a little leeway, because I don't want an arbitrary date to stop creativity... ) Here are the entries for Challenge #16. Thanks to everyone who did it!

Without further ado, the challenge for the next fortnight is:

Have a favorite book? Or at least a book you really like with a catchy intro? This is your chance to use it. Take the first line from your favorite (or one of your favorite) books (or, hell, if your favorite piece of literature is a play or a poem, go for it) and make that the first line of your fic. Or at least put it in the fic somewhere. For an extra bit of fun, don't post the story you stole it from, so people can guess. Challenges due December 18th at 1159pm PST.

This challenge shamelessly stolen from the lovely leelee_cakes challenge community. Thank you, Leelee!

And as always, if you have any suggestions for future challenges or anything to say about this one, don't hesitate to email me. (I've a paid account, so you can just send to my username livejournal dot com) Happy writing!

Edit: Leelee was awesome enough to provide a couple links to sites that list first lines of famous novels in case you're not sure of the exact wording or perhaps aren't getting any inspiration from your most favorite books. They are here and here.
