WIP 7x7x7 meme

[vilakins]

1. Go to page 7 (or 77) of your current WIP.
2. Go to line 7.
3. Copy the next 7 sentences or paragraphs and post them as they’re written.

"You Klein?" the woman said.

"Um, Vil Klein, yes." Vila had toyed with Del Klein, the two most common names in the Federation, but the first one made him think of Tarrant. Besides, picking a name he'd respond to automatically was probably a very good idea.

The woman leaned on the table, making it creak slightly. "You own the Lightning Bolt."

"Uh, no. The Lassiter Corporation does."

"I don't think so," the woman said pleasantly.

"Eh?"

"I'd say you and the Lassiter Corporation were the same person. See, a company would get pissed off at an employee not doing anything. But not if you were employing yourself."

I haven't done much to this lately; I must get back to it. There are 21 pages of it already though.

I can't REMEMBER the last time I wrote a fic that went over 7 pages, so I can't really do this meme.

Unless you count the Iron Man series I've been doing on AO3 which is currently at 21,661 words. It'd be a pain to try to figure out which was the 7th page, though.

I just went by what Word said.

*nods* I'd have to paste together a whole bunch of documents to get even one that was seven pages long. Too much trouble for a meme. But at least I did finish the series! 18 parts done in 18 days. :^)

Oh, intriguing...! *wants more*

[vilakins]

There will be more, when I get my act together. Not that I have any idea how it will end; maybe the characters will decide that.

Ha, you definitely should get back to this one! Whoever she is, she's got Vila pegged :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

She's Teo, whom you might remember from the snippets I posted in picowrimo, and yes, she does have Vila pegged. :-)

Hahaha, a nice one. Always so amused when a meme picks a nice scene like this! Great meme, too. I'll have to gank it, though I've not done any fanfic in ages.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Any WIP'll do! And thanks. :-)

That's a great bit!

There seems to be a theme developing here (a meme theme) that most of the writing gets done during Pico...

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Yes, I seem to need some sort of impetus these days.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

That sounds like our Vila :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Yep. He's got this fast ship but is scared to take the next step of, you know, actually getting a crew and doing something with it.

[pet-lunatic.livejournal.com]

Interesting! Wonder what Vila is up to...

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

This is an AU in which he's left the Liberator and is setting up a fast courier service (since stealing stuff is likely to get him found).

[thisbluespirit]

Intriguing! :-)

[morzsa.livejournal.com]

You should get back to it! I want to read this!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Really? You know the fandom? Actually since it's an alternate universe that might not be so important anyway. :-)
