Peter, that's not fair to either of us.
Tagging @thehappybaker back. Thanks for the tag!
WIP Tag Game
Rules: If you are tagged, you have to work on your WIP until you write a sentence that contains at least one word from the sentence given to you by the person who tagged you. Then post that sentence and tag as many people as you want. Tag-backs are not only allowed, but encouraged! >:)
Ok, I have been tagged....so many times and I have not been able to jump in because stupid busy. Thus I am FINALLY getting here. Lots of 'the's' and 'ins' here to count. ;D
I Piett turned back to his friend and gripped Veers’ hand in turn, the two men sharing a look that Matt had seen many times. He knew they hated to be separated when their missions had the high possibility of death. But both of them were incredibly stalwart in their own ways. “Good hunting,” the General said in a reversal of their usual farewell. The Captain’s mouth curled. “Safe stars, Max,” he murmured. “I’m coming for you the very moment it’s possible.” “Force help the Rebels,” Veers replied, and Scraps was glad they weren’t looking at him because he couldn’t stop the smile. 
I started a new thread as well since the other one was quite long.

This disease, whatever it is, can't turn you into your father unless you make the same choices he did.
Thanks for the tag! Open tag because I've been sending a lot of writing games to a lot of people lately.
Tagged by @thehappybaker 6 times, @winterinhimring 4 times, @musewrangler 2 times, and @catkin-morgs-kookaburralover 1 time for the WIP tag game.
Rules: If you are tagged, you have to work on your WIP until you write a sentence that contains at least one word from the sentence given to you by the person who tagged you. Then post that sentence and tag as many people as you want. Tag-backs are not only allowed, but encouraged! >:)
Additionally I was tagged for the Last sentence tag game, by @thehappybaker 5 times, @afaroffsong 2 times, @winterinhimring 2 times and @called-kept 1 time.
RULES: Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.
So what I did two days ago was copy and paste every sentence that I had to choose a word from for the WIP tag game into a note, and set to writing. I wrote 216 words, found a word for each sentence I was tagged from, and got unstuck at the same time. Here’s my progress in one chunk, rather than a whole bunch of disconnected snippets, which I think gives enough unused sentences to make up the ones for the Last sentence tag game. And okay, because this seems more impressive/interesting (maybe) when it’s posted as a whole.
The more she observed him, the more his shyness seemed an unnatural thing to him.  Lachlan had been deemed just old enough to be careful and take his meal in with his Da, though not of course to take in the tray. Erran had volunteered for that, and so when they finished at the table and while the dishes were being cleared away, Erran also retrieved the tray and brought it to her.  “[name] says to say it was delicious. Lachlan seconds that.” “Thank you,” she said. She was surprised he’d thought of retrieving it for her and didn’t care if he knew it. She’d thought he would be on his way back out with Alastair and Tann…but no, they were helping the girls clean the table.  “Thank you again for the meal,” he returned with a crooked smile. “My cooking doesn’t turn out nearly so well, and,” he lowered his voice just a little, “Wynn’s is better than mine, but he doesn’t have your knack either, so it’s not just a matter of experience.” “Some of it is, I’m sure,” she said. “You do enough of it every day for growing children and it begins to come easier to you. How long have you cooked for yourself?” He thought for a moment before answering. “It’s been a few years since I was doing all of it. A friend of mine stayed with me for a bit when I first moved near here. He was somewhere between you and Wynn in skill, and took more than his share of the turn cooking. He certainly enjoyed it more than I did.” He sounded a little wistful as he spoke.
Used words: back, and, she, was, they, smile from @thehappybaker but, experience from @musewrangler she from @catkin-morgs-kookaburralover He’d, his, she’d, he from @winterinhimring
You wascally wabbits are all tagged back, once for each tag game, but that’s all I’m up for.

I have not been tagged yet! This looks fun. Here goes:
writing patterns tag game
Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!
The Right Question [The Amazing Spider-Man]
Gwen spared a moment to glance delightedly over her shoulder at Peter's truly impressive display of laser-guided clumsiness, then darted into the elevator as the doors opened. 
It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) [MCU]
Fwap!
Frank Castle and the Spandex-Wearing Pacifist Teenager [MCU+The Punisher]
Vigilantes were a dime a dozen in New York, these days.
So We Can Learn To Pick Ourselves Up [all live-action Spider-man movies+MCU]
A few good nights of sleep and days of just...basking in the presence of his friends did wonders both for Peter's headache and for his grasp of the new timeline.
A Lot Can Happen In Twenty Years [Raimi Spider-man Trilogy]
Harry's life had changed a lot over the past few months, for better and worse.
Our Fathers Lied [Raimi Spider-man Trilogy]
Peter had only just had time to drop Mary Jane off to safety on one of the floors of the skyscraper before he'd had to leap back into the fight.
Why Do We Fall? [Raimi Spider-man Trilogy]
Moving between universes was a disorienting feeling no matter how it happened, Norman found out.
Longest Way 'Round Credits Scene [MCU+ATSV+Raimi Spider-man Trilogy]
It was really not Quentin Beck's day.
Spider-man: The Longest Way 'Round [MCU]
It turned out that life after your secret identity was revealed to the world had both more and less in common with life before than Peter had expected.
Peter Parker and the School Trip of Madness [MCU]
"So, um, Sarge, how would Mr. Daredevil feel about looking in on Queens a couple of times over the next couple weeks?" Peter asked, in the offhand way he tended to use when was worried about something.
Conclusions:
Well, to begin with, I have been on a massive Spider-man fic writing spree. I already knew that, but I hadn't exactly realised just how massive of a spree it has been.
More generally, my opening lines look like they're split between three types: an introspective line that gives you an immediate look at the main character's thoughts, an 'in medias res' opener that drops you into the middle of either a conversation or some action, and a longer sentence that establishes something important about who the main character is and what setting he or she is currently in, with the majority falling into the final category.
I think that I also modify my writing voice and sentence structure to set the mood of the fic. I could just be reading into my own writing because I know what comes after all of these lines, but the tone of these lines looks to me like it from playful to wry to anxious, depending on how the rest of the fic plays out.
No pressure tags for @musewrangler, @ramblingsofachristiannerd, and @ghosts-and-blue-sweaters.
writing patterns tag game
Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!
Thank you for the tag, @ravenite-void !! 🎶✨️ I had lot of fun doing this :3 (although i didn’t notice a particular pattern except that my WIPs are too old to appear here and maybe i should get out of hiatus xd)
*** ** * ** ***
1. Sēċan (Star Wars)
Everything began when Luke went to fetch a wasted Ben in Anchorhead’s only tavern.
2. The Monster and the Child (Star Wars)
The dragon slept, curled on itself in the cold cell that was its home.
3. Batman’s Downfall (To Stand Alone) (DC)
There was a new killer in town. He called himself 'Red Hood'. Had he been clownier, Batman would have bet on a new scheme from the Joker part.
4. Ahch-To Soul, Korriban Body (Star Wars)
The hound - for it had no name but hound, beast, mutant - collapsed in the dark alley, its small paws folding underneath it.
5. A Nightinghale in a Golden Cage (Star Wars)
I had left the Gruyère to explore, the break on planet finally allowing me to stretch my wings after spending so long cooped up in the ship, when a cry in the Force alerted me.
6. A Feather's Fall (Star Wars)
I walked alongside the young Togorian that had recently become my ‘Padawan’, glancing proudly at the green crystal that shone in his fist.
7. Scales of Ember (A:tLA)
Everything burned. His body felt strange, his nerves raw, as if liquid fire was spreading through his veins.
8. À La Croisée Du Temps (Le Visiteur du Futur)
Renard se réveilla en sursaut. Son front rencontra un mur. Il poussa un juron et, plus lentement cette fois, il se releva.
9. Flightless (Star Wars)
It had been her mistake.
10. By each other we pass by, our meeting as fleeting as the brush of wings (Star Wars)
There had been a disturbance on Canyon. Vader was called to deal with the issue.
*** ** * ** ***
Now, tagging time~ !
@fanfictasia @kefalion @bluntblade @doctorgeekery @pat-the-togorian @purple-iris @beguilewritesstuff @linzerj @cinderfeather @kuraiarcoiris @wendingways @gasmeros @renegadeoftheworld @threebea @batsimph @metellastella @chickadeechickadoo @aimportantdragoncollector @in-company-of-misery @udekai @purpleopossum don’t hesitate to join if you want to! (Although no pressure). I’m pretty sure you can interpret the rules as ’last chapter posted’ instead of last fic posted xd (like several chapters of a same multichap fic).
Anyone who see this post and want to join in on the fun, do so!

Wow! Four tags in one post! I need that writing motivation, honestly, so thank you.
Okay, here goes, four (non-consecutive) sentences:
Peter was at his house this time when they arrived, looking very stressed, hair sticking up wildly. Gwen didn't answer, and Harry thought he could guess at what she needed to talk to Peter about. "So have you guys, what, been on the run all day?" Peter asked. She evidently got the message, and said, "I had my first interview with Oxford today."
Tagging @griseldabanks back, plus @musewrangler (just once for each of you).
WIP Tag Game
Rules: If you are tagged, you have to work on your WIP until you write a sentence that contains at least one word from the sentence given to you by the person who tagged you. Then post that sentence and tag as many people as you want. Tag-backs are not only allowed, but encouraged! >:)
Starting a new one of these because I kinda slacked off when my computer exploded, and in the meantime got tagged a whole bunch. So here goes, consider yourself tagged as many times as I mention your name!
@winterinhimring
They were so close; he could feel it.
@winterinhimring
You saw what he did in D.C.
@winterinhimring
Maybe that was all he could think about, every time he looked at Bucky Barnes’s face.
@winterinhimring
He’ll be with Captain America.
@bunnyscar
There was something about him, even just in the way he held himself, that made it easy to believe he had it all under control.
@bunnyscar
That went a long way towards convincing him that there was more to Barnes than just a deadly assassin.
@bunnyscar
He stared down at his hands, clasped on top of the table in front of him.
@bunnyscar
His leg jiggled up and down nervously.

The dim sum had been very good, although Harry had been the only one in the restaurant, since it was well past the normal hour for lunch, and it had been an odd experience.
Thanks for the tag, @afaroffsong! I'm glad you had time to write.
Tagging you back, plus @thegreenleavesofspring.

Where shall I take you now?
Thanks for the tag! For once, that's not a behemoth of a sentence, so only six of y'all are getting tagged (no pressure, as usual): @musewrangler, @accidental-spice, @kanerallels, @ghosts-and-blue-sweaters, @thisistheendtimes, and @jonathananubian, if you're writing anything at the moment.
Last Sentence/Tag Game
Thanks to @thescrapwitch and @cycas for the tag!
RULES: Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.
Been a busy weekend and I haven't been able to write for a couple days, but here's the latest sentence from my current WIP, wherein Maedhros is That Dad Who Didn't Want A Cat:
Just before the door slams, he thinks he hears the creature on Caranthir’s lap let out a smug mewl.
Which comes out to...19 words. Whew! It looks like a lot of people I'd want to tag already have been, so I'm not going to get to nineteen, but I'll do some.

Harry dropped his head back against the headrest and stared ahead with unseeing eyes.

I've been tagged roughly a bajillion times over the past couple of months, but haven't done much about it because I've been on a writing hiatus in the wake of finishing the first draft of my WIP. But I'm trying to get back into writing regularly, so I'm going to start a new thread, and tag back everybody who tagged me! >:D
@rainintheevening
It didn't take a genius to understand what Qui-Gon was getting at.
@winterinhimring
The dead became one with the Force, and the Force was a Jedi's constant companion.
@rainintheevening
And yet, Obi-Wan still couldn't shake the feeling of abandonment.
@authortobenamedlater
And if he didn't leave even the slightest crack open for the Force to seep through, that meant Qui-Gon couldn't reach him either.
@winterinhimring
A child with his fingers in his ears, demanding to know why no one would talk to him.
@bunnyscar
Accept the shame, then let it go.
@winterinhimring
Learn from them, and they will help you grow.
@bunnyscar
Taking a deep breath, Obi-Wan envisioned his lungs filling with stale air from the years he had languished here on Tatooine.
@kraytwriter
Opening eyes he hadn't realized he'd closed, Obi-Wan turned to look at Qui-Gon again.
@kraytwriter
“I was there.”
@kraytwriter
All he could see was his master's eyes, full of sympathy and compassion, understanding and acceptance.
Lol, all of the words I chose were very boring and generic, but there you go XD And yes, if I mentioned your name multiple times, consider yourself tagged that many times.

You'll be fine too.
A short sentence this time, but it does share a word!
Tagging @thehappybaker back, plus @griseldabanks (if you're still playing these games; if not, feel free to ignore the tag!)
Tagged by @thehappybaker 6 times, @winterinhimring 4 times, @musewrangler 2 times, and @catkin-morgs-kookaburralover 1 time for the WIP tag game.
Rules: If you are tagged, you have to work on your WIP until you write a sentence that contains at least one word from the sentence given to you by the person who tagged you. Then post that sentence and tag as many people as you want. Tag-backs are not only allowed, but encouraged! >:)

So what I did two days ago was copy and paste every sentence that I had to choose a word from for the WIP tag game into a note, and set to writing. I wrote 216 words, found a word for each sentence I was tagged from, and got unstuck at the same time. Here’s my progress in one chunk, rather than a whole bunch of disconnected snippets, which I think gives enough unused sentences to make up the ones for the Last sentence tag game. And okay, because this seems more impressive/interesting (maybe) when it’s posted as a whole.

for the writing game: the right question? Thx 😊
This one needed the kick in the pants! Thanks for the question. (You get two sentences because they work better as a pair.)
You just outwitted the security of the most powerful company in New York City and set in motion a hostile takeover that will oust fifteen or so of the wealthiest people in this state. Impressing a bunch of professors will not be a problem for you.
The kick in the pants writer's game.
