[Meme] mini-ficlet meme, & fic-specific questions meme

A couple memes from Tumblr, because why not. (Well, and because I want a place to archive an answer to the second meme, and as awkward as DW is for archiving, Tumblr is ten million times worse.)

Mini-ficlet meme

Leave the first sentence of a fic in a comment and I will write the next five.

(May not be exactly five.)

Things To Do Post-Sburb When You're Bored: Rose said later that "I was really fucking bored" was insufficient explanation or indeed justification for the First Triennial Human/Troll Flashstepping Competition. (Homestuck, 575 words, for madamehardy)

Tomorrow's Memory: Because she had stopped counting the passing of daymonths after reaching one thousand, Aeriel could scarcely believe the change wrought in Avaric. (The Darkangel, 425 words, for rosaxx50)

Fic-specific questions meme

Drop the title of one of my fics and a number in a comment, and I will tell you:

1. What was my inspiration for this fic? How did it come to me?
2. What's my favorite part of the fic?
3. What's the part of the fic I'm most proud of?
4. What part of the fic was the hardest for me to write?
5. What part of the fic am I still dissatisfied with?
6. Who's my favorite character in the fic?
7. Were there any major decisions I made about the fic that could have made it go a whole different direction?
8. Was there anything I only learned about the fic after I had finished it? (themes, motifs, symbolism, etc)
9. Did anyone in the fic surprise me by doing anything? If so, what?
10. If I had to sum up this fic in a sentence, what would it be?
11. If I were to rewrite this fic, what would I change?
12. Did any thing about this fic's reception surprise me?
13. What were my beta's major comments about the first draft of this fic?
14. If I were to write a sequel to this fic, what would it be about?
15. Any other question about the fic!

[Rec] Snacky's Susan!fic

Snacky is also doing the "leave a sentence and I'll write the next five" meme over on Tumblr.

I left her this sentence: It was raining when Susan arrived in New York -- a hard, stinging rain, rushing ahead of the lightning that flickered and grumbled in the western distance beyond the Manhattan skyline.

She wrote a glorious ficlet about Susan a long time post-TLB, with a brilliant crossover idea that I'd never thought of before but which makes perfect sense and will make you squee in turn if you know the other series in question.

Here is the link to the fic!

[Fic] "Things To Do Post-Sburb When You're Bored" -- Homestuck

Summary: Rose said later that "I was really fucking bored" was insufficient explanation or indeed justification for the First Triennial Human/Troll Flashstepping Competition. (575 words)

Note: This is a response to the "Leave me the first sentence of a fic and I will write the next five" meme, for madamehardy, who gave me the summary sentence as a prompt. I had a little trouble with verb tenses, so you get two ficlets for the price of one. :-)

[ETA: the AO3 crosspost is now up!]

( Things To Do Post-Sburb When You're Bored )

I don't think these ficlets take place in exactly the same continuity -- Rose's participation level doesn't quite match up between them -- but they use the same implicit background of the various players all living together in some sort of communal housing.
