Writing Patterns/First 10 Lines Tag Game

Tagged by @hannahcbrown, TY! Apparently the last time I did this was literally a year ago, 15 April, so it'll be quite cool to look and see if there's been any changes with my opening lines.

Tagging back my whole list because this isn't limited to fanfic and I think can count for OG fiction: @aalinaaaaaas-sequel @thewriteflame @wildswrites @aquadestinyswriting @artdecosupernova-writing @autumnalwalker @blind-the-winds @eli-writes-sometimes @hannahcbrown @oh-no-another-idea @rhikasa @swordsoulwrites @winglesswriter @andromeda-grace @writingmaidenwarrior @wispstalk @late-to-the-fandom @athenswrites

Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there’s a pattern!

Last time I did this there was an even split of dialogue to prose for my starters. This time there's only 3 (not counting stories in 1st person). Previously, it seemed that I started with dialogue when the work was shorter, but this isn't the case with these more recent ones. For example, No. 1 is a 100k longfic, whereas No. 5 has the shortest word count. With both types I do seem to prefer to hit with a hook rather than set the scene - 7 of these are nebulous in the 5 Ws, but are (I hope) intriguing enough to have the reader continue. So that's my pattern - give enough info to ask questions but don't give answers straight away.

1 Her Countenance was Light:

"What's it doing?"

2 A Light in the Darkness:

The month of Morning Star is a drear and dreadful one.

3 It's Fashion, Boss:

"Griffiths, you're late."

4 Greetings After a Long Departure:

It's been a few years since… Everything.

5 A Floral Surprise:

Dawn crept along the streets of London as if chasing the shadowed heels of the lean figure as it lept a fence and scaled a wall, delicately prising open a second-floor window.

6 Night Exercises:

Aderyn shivers as the night breeze brings the acerbic scent of pine down from the ridge on their right, mingling with the bog-brown smells of the heath.

7 A Little Something-Something:

Grubby, weed-filled concrete below, and grubby overcast skies overhead.

8 You Never Forget Your First:

"Where you go, I'll be right behind you…"

9 Home That Our Feet May Leave, But Not Our Hearts:

Somewhere, an alarm is chirping incessantly.

10 Crasberry Saviour:

The space station hummed and buzzed around us as we waited for the Rotik Sales Representative.

Crasberry Saviour

Universe: Starbound CW: Mention of medical trauma and injury (not graphic), pet death Words: 760 Context: Written for the Summer 2023 prompt, "Lilodon", and based on a headcanon by @gaymeatcore where Crasberries are Hylotl "guard dogs". Tag list (ask for +/-): @jacquesfindswritingandadvice, @writeblrsupport Or read on AO3

The space station hummed and buzzed around us as we waited for the Rotik Sales Representative. The chatter of patrons echoed against glossy tungsten walls as cool air wafted from the scrubbers, down to where we sat outside the hole-in-the-wall cafe the Rep had chosen. Across from me, Yuudai reached down, rubbing at where her prosthetic met the stump of her leg. "You okay?" I asked. She murmured an affirmative, but not one minute later, she did it again. I tilted my head. "Chief?" Her eyes rose to the air scrubbers. "The cold air is making my leg ache," she said reluctantly. "Let's swap places. There's no breeze this side." We changed places, and I resumed scanning the crowd for the Sales Rep, watching the myriad races in their myriad clothing pass through the concourse; an elderly avian resting on a bench, surrounded by fake plants; a young apex carrying a stack of boxes and chatting to a floran ladened with bags; a glitch in a blue beret walking with purpose towards an elevator to the lower levels.

My contemplation was broken by a soft snort from Yuudai, and my attention snapped towards her. She was smiling softly, staring at something behind me. "Oh, ah. Sorry, Captain," she said when she noticed me looking. "There's a crasberry plushie in the window of that shop. The same colours as my pet when I was young." "Oh?" I twisted to look. Behind me was a soft furnishings shop, an orange and red crasberry nestled in amongst snugget, gleap and fennix plushies. "Her name was Ember, like the coral," Yuudai said, her gaze turned inward. "She's the reason I only lost a leg and not my life." I made a noise of encouragement and sipped at my reef juice. "We'd gone topside to visit my Uncle, who studied bugs and other land-based critters. He, my Mother and two of my brothers were deeply embroiled in some dull conversation, so I left with Ember. "We roamed the dunes around Uncle's house, investigating what little there was, when a thicket of tall grasses began to rustle, something within growling. "I froze, terrified, but Ember scuttled in front of me, snapping her little claws. Then all of a sudden, a lilodon leapt from the thicket, clear over Ember's head, to chomp down hard on my leg, breaking the bone. But Ember came to my rescue. She started nipping at the lilodon, and it turned on her instead. I dragged myself over the dunes, screaming for my Mother. "Then my Uncle was there, striding forward with his sword to kill the lilodon, while I was scooped into my Mother's arms and rushed back underwater to a hospital." "And Ember?" I asked, tone gentle, as Yuudai fell silent. She sighed. "The poor brave thing didn't make it. And the leg got infected." Yudai gave me a self-deprecating smile. "I know you were wondering. It's alright – everyone does. Even after the surgery and every antibiotic in the book, it couldn't be saved. Some kind of necrotic disease from the liodon. So they had to take it to save me. "Although, on the bright side, if I hadn't spent all that time in the hospital reading, I would never have become so invested in codices and how things work, and I would never have ended up here." Her smile widened into something more genuine, and I smiled back.

"Ingratiating. My apologies for making you wait, ladies. I was held up with another client." We both looked up to see a shiny steel glitch dressed in an apex-styled suit. He gave a brief bow. "Swiftquil, Rotik Sales, at your service." I waved for him to sit, introducing myself and Yuudai. He pulled a holo-unit from his jacket, setting it on the table where it activated, spooling through the Rotik ship parts catalogue. "Deferential. What can I interest you in today?" "Thank you," I said. "We have a list of requirements." I glanced at Yuudai. Her gaze had wandered back towards the crasberry toy in the window. "Chief?" She blinked, pulling her gaze back on me, and pushed across a datapad. "Yes, Captain. Everything we need is here." She glanced one final time at the toys, before focusing on the Sales Rep and beginning her spiel. I sat back, listening with half an ear to the conversation. "I'll be right back," I said during a lull. I stepped away, waiting. Once Yuudai's attention was again held by the catalogue, I headed towards the shop, eyes on that orange and red crasberry plush.

[a-book-of-creatures]

The waters often teemed with fish; and occasionally I saw monstrous creatures of the deep, some of which defy description and would challenge belief. The most numerous of these larger creatures must attain a length of fully a thousand feet. It has a wide mouth and huge, protruding eyes between which a smaller eye is perched upon a cylindrical shaft some fifteen feet above its head. The shaft is erectile; and when the creature is at rest upon the surface or when it is swimming normally beneath, it reclines along its back; but when alarmed or searching for food, the shaft springs erect. It also functions as a periscope as the beast swims a few feet beneath the surface. The Amtorians call it a rotik, meaning three-eye. When I first saw one I thought it an enormous ocean liner as it lay on the surface of the ocean in the distance.

ROTIK!!! ONE OF MY LYNEL BABIES! For those of you not in the know, in 2017 I made a list of Lynel ocs you can find here: https://lesserfandomappreciation.tumblr.com/post/167850906134/yaaaaaaaas-lynel-ocs . These darling are Lynels you can make requests for if you want something more specific than general Lynel requests, though I accept those too. Rotik is but one of many, though he does have a special place in my heart.  It’s been so long since a Lynel request came through!

This somehow wound up becoming a scenario, hope that’s okay!

-The very hyped Mod Pinks

The Doe’s Lion ( BOTW )

Rotik would forever take pride in the care he gave to the little village nestled near his den. The little denizens that lived there never ceased to amaze him in their tenacity, their ability so deep in the mountain woods despite their teeny, tiny size. It’s what had drawn the Lynel’s attention in the first place and had kept him as the self-declared guardian of the little town, though in his mind he knew they just barely needed his help from time to time.

Needless to say he was a familiar face. One that everybody knew well whenever he roared into town, boisterously giving aid to any that needed it. They had seen Rotik when happy, cheerily tossing little ones into the air and carrying the elder on his back without prompting. They could count on one hand how many times they’d seen him furious when a creature managed to get past his woods and into town. 

A pouting, sulking Rotik is a sight that was, unfortunately, becoming more common than they’d like. 

The giant Lynel gave another sad huff by the fountain. Beside him was, yet again, a small mountain of deer hides. Rejected. Yet again. From his place by the fountain he could see the entire town plaza, the morning market in full buzz with all the residents out and about. And her. 

(Name) was slowly walking by the town healer, looking at the wares she was unfamiliar with. Her leg was still bandaged a full month after the incident. Rotik winced at every other limped step of hers. 

It hadn’t been his intention to shoot at her! Not her specifically anyway. Deer season was important on the mountain and he had to keep the village stores full for the coming winter. Since when did deer have people attached to them?

Rotik had never wanted to kick himself so much before. What he thought had been a successful hunt had led to a pair of terrified doe eyes looking up at him, filled with a fright he’d never seen before. The Lynel had sprinted to get a healer to save her, feeling guilty for weeks on end for what he did. Doubly when he realized what an angel she was. Triply when Rotik started recognizing the signs of interest he had for her.

She was looking at him. Perking up the Lynel sat up, giving a cheery roar and waving excitedly. Almost immediately the deertaur winced, hiding behind the healer and scurrying away. Again she was running. Rotik’s ears drooped once more. 

"Keep that up and your face is going to be stuck that way forever.” A tiny groan came from where Rotik buried his face in his hands, ignoring the chief by his side. 

“She hates me.”

“Nothing that strong, I don’t think.”

“She keeps running away Fami!” He gestured at his face. “One look- one and lil’ doe is off! That’s not really a good sign.”

“Probably not.” The Lynel deflated. Fami nudged the pile of deer hide with her foot, ignoring the small hide on top that fell. “Assuming that you aren’t trying to kill the entire local deer population, what is all this?”

“Wha- don’t kick that! You’ll get it dirty!” Rotik dove for the falling hide, visibly relieved when it didn’t hit the ground. Brushing off imaginary dust he placed it once more at the top, so gingerly as if it were of glass. “This is for her! My proposal!”

The town chief stared. “...Come again?”

“My proposal to court! Offer for romancin’, all that. You know?” A blank stare. “Oh. Right. You’re all elfy. Hrm...” Rotik puffed up his cheeks in thought for a moment. “D’you remember that time you were tellin’ me ‘bout how you tinies give each other flowers to show ya like one another? It’s like that! Only more challenging!” “So... to clarify,” said Fami, side-eyeing the stack of furs. “Lynels give giant stacks of dead animal furs to people they want to...” “Court, yea!”

“And you’re trying to court (Name), a deertaur.”

“Desperately.”

“With the dead bodies of animals.”

“Got it in one!”

“Specifically deer.”

“...I’m not seeing why you keep pausing all weird like that, but yes!”

Fami closed her eyes at her friend. She exhaled sharply. Then looked up. “Rotik. You’re trying to court a deertaur with a mountain of dead deer fur. You see nothing wrong with this?”

Rotik tilted his head. It’d be cute if he wasn’t so damn dense. He looked at the mound of death next to him. Back to the spot (Name) had been standing in. Back to the deer. Then to Fami.

“... Do you think she’d prefer other animals that ah, don’t quite look like her?”

“Why don’t we start with something a little less fuzzy and a bit more planty bud?”

Languages and Names of the Sith Empire

Languages

The Sith Empire is a multilingual nation. Four languages are officially recognized, three are used publicly, and there are many unofficial languages saturating the lower rungs of the Empire.

The official common language of the Empire is Sith[1] (Kittât, /kɪtˈtæt/; “The Tongue”). It is spoken by every citizen and a compulsory subject in primary school. It is held closely by the Tsis[2] as a link to their past from before the Jen’jidai[3] destroyed much of their culture. Originally, there was no common language between the Tsis but with the rise of Adas’ Empire[4] all the people of Korriban were united under one language which, over time, became modern Sith.

Next is Imperial (Paiwerlikos, /paɪˈwer.liˈkos/; “All-Speak”), the second most common language in the Empire. Like Sith, it was a common language. It belongs to the Istiveritai[5] eventually becoming one of the few surviving aspects of their culture since their assimilation into the Empire. Though it isn’t compulsory, it is an elective in many schools.

High Sith (Kittâtydor Kissai, /kɪtˈtætˈiːdoɹ kɪsˈaɪ/; “The Tongue of the Priest”), also known as “High Sith,” is the third language recognized by the Empire. It is the sacred language of the Tsis, rarely spoken as a language but often seen in Sith incantations, sacred rites, prayers, ancient hymns, and holy texts.

Imperial Standard Galactic Basic is the final language officially recognized by the Empire. First introduced to the Empire with the arrival of the Jedi Exiles, it didn’t take root in the Empire until two centuries after the Great Hyperspace War whereupon it one of the main languages learned in preparation for the coming war with the Republic. Grand Moff Odile Vaiken[6] was quoted as saying “One cannot know their enemy if they cannot understand their enemy.”

Beyond these four are the languages of the Vassals[7] and of the slaves—each unique among the many hundreds of planets conquered by the Empire. Many of these are the native languages of these planets but many are creoles created during times of Imperial occupation. These languages are generally ignored by the Empire at large, though individual opinion can shift from inquisitively interested to harshly hostile.

Names

Modern names of the Tsis and Istiveritai are different to the names of the Old Empire. Before, names were varied in style and structure, as varied as the cultures across Sith Space. Some were simple, others complex, and each with their rules. However, when the Sith Empire was pushed to the far reaches of Wild Space, names became standardized in an attempt for unification and for logistics purposes.

The structure of modern Imperial names—of Tsis and Istiveritai—follows a long chain of names which, while standardize, emphasises individualism, merit, and origin. Both Tsis and Istiveritai follow the same basic structure, though each is written in their original language.

First name: One of two primary names for all citizens of the Empire. It identifies an individual from another member of the family and nation and is usually bestowed a year after they are born. These names originated as common adjectives and nouns, often aspirational of the individual. Many are further augmented by various suffixes to convey additional meaning.

For example, the Tsis name Adas means ‘glory’ and Sek’nos means ‘little fire’. The Istiveritai name Rycus is derived from ‘sovereignty’ and Odile means ‘wealthy’.

Sith name: An ancient practice, though recently taking on a new use, the Sith name started out as an epithet describing various monarchs. At some point during the Old Empire, it became cemented as part of a Sith Lord’s core identity before taking on its final form when the Emperor rebuilt the Empire after the Great Hyperspace War.

Reserved for members of the Sith Order, these names can find origins from various sources—Tsis, Istiveritai, and beyond. Usually, they describe some particular trait of the individual Sith—their personality and disposition. Some reference a mastery of some skill they hold. Others might reference certain mythological figures or concepts. A small portion are chosen solely for aesthetic reasons.

Usually, these names are chosen by master to apprentice. If there is no master, whoever ascends the Sith to the rank of Lord or Darth may choose the name. In some cases, the name may be individually chosen.

Parents’ name: A mixture of patronymics and matronymics attached to an individual’s personal name for identification as well for socio-political interactions. In Sith, it indicates the individual’s heritage by the words lozân’qâ (“son of”), juzân’qâ (“daughter of”), and rajzân’qâ (“child of”), and often contains the names of all the individual considers their parents. Imperial renderings are indicated by the suffix -idas (“descendant of”) following each of the name of their parent.

For Tsis individuals, this can look like: El’kho lozân’qâ Ludo ûr Khe’al (“Elcho, son of Ludo and Cheal”). Ludo and Cheal are the personal names of Elcho’s parents.

For Imperial individuals, it can appear like: Rycus Apolinidas Ceciaidas (“Rycus descendant of Apolin and descendant of Cecia”).

Family name: These are the second primary name of the Sith Empire and is most used in Imperial society. As the Sith Empire being the culmination of all Tsis and Istiveritai cultures throughout history as well as the influence of immigrants, family names are as varied as the stars. Ultimately, the origin of a modern Imperial’s name could be anything.

Commonly, these names appear plainly. For example, Ffon Althe (Ffon being the First name and Althe being the Family name). However, in formal occasions they are rendered in full.

For Tsis, these names would be preceded by the word qâ’mu (“of the”) and followed by the suffix -rotik meaning ‘family’. Ffon Althe becomes Ffon qâ’mu Althe‘rotik.

For Istiveritai, the family names are simply preceded by the word di (“of the”). Ffon Althe becomes Ffon di Althe.

Planet name: A sparce addition to Tsis culture, the planet name has appeared and disappeared from when they first started colonizing the stars. Particularly, these names are enforced for logistic purposes as the Empire grew in great in size. However, some use the name of their homeworld as a mark of pride, especially when it comes to planets of great significance to the Empire: Korriban, Ziost, and, since the Expansionist era of the reconstituted Empire, Dromund Kaas.

For Tsis, the name appears simply as is, preceded only by the word qâ (“of”). However, Istiveritai customs have the planet name instead followed by the suffix -utas meaning “‘of’ a place”.

— Footnotes ———

1, Though the word sith means ‘supreme’ or ‘perfect’ in Kittât, it has many definitions within the greater galactic lexicon. It can refer to the Tsis, the Sith Empire, Kittât, the Sith Order, and even the many dark side sects who have appropriated the name.

2, Tsis refers to the red-skinned natives of Korriban.

3, Jen’jidai (“Dark Jedi”). It refers to 12 Jedi who went to war against the rest of the Jedi Order and were exiled for their crimes. In their exile, they fo und and conquered the Tsis.

4, Adas’ Empire is contested as the first Sith Empire. More than 20,000 years before the Jen’jidai arrived, Adas—a Sith Warlord—conquered and united the Sith people under his banner, ruling Korriban for hundreds of years.

5, The Istiveritai are an ethnic group of humans discovered by the Old Empire some five hundred years since the Jen’jidai conquered the Tsis. They were integrated into the Empire and served as the backbone of Sith conquest across Wild Space.

6, Odile Vaiken was the first Grand Moff of the reconstituted Sith Empire, earning his position through his rigorous work in the Imperial military, going so far as to author the training regime used by all military academies across Sith space.

7, Vassals peoples and nations conquered by the Empire but yet to become full Imperial citizens. Often referred to by the derogatory term ‘Subjugates’.
