Story Link + A Familiar Meme
Jul. 2nd, 2007 11:01 amA. In case you missed the link yesterday, here's my neo-picaresque crone's fairy tale at Farrago's Wainscot, complete with photo illustration by Rick Bowes.
B. This meme never stops going around, but I happened to have a great book right in front of me, so here you go:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
"This is Mabry's old place." Luis sighed and turned back to her. "Look, I don't want you talking to my brother. Faeries messed him up pretty bad. You leave him alone."
"Sure," Corny said.
(That's from Holly Black's Ironside, which I highly recommend.)
