Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick).  No context, no explanations.  No more than one sentence!

And I know I cheated about the sentences . . . sue me. Or take these babies off my hands . . . whatever!




House

Wilson got as far as the parking lot before it all broke apart. 



Starsky and Hutch

The audience leapt to their feet as Kenneth Hutchinson, international singing star, finished his concert. He stood in the spotlight, soaking up the adoration. The roar grew louder and louder until suddenly, he realized it was the phone.


Starsky sat staring at the piggy bank, hands shoved into his jacket pockets, shoulders slumped. Hutch’s heart cracked every time he snuck a look at him over the typewriter, where he tried to turn the horrific events of the past few days into an acceptable report..



Captain Dobey sighed and threw the tie on the bed. It landed on top of the colorful pile of the other seven he had already tried on and discarded. He frowned, wishing he could walk into the department in a pair of sweats and tennis shoes, like some of his detectives. Well, two of his detectives. He sighed again and sat on the edge of the bed. It wasn’t the tie – he knew it. He could pick out a tie in his sleep. Some of his men had even suggested that’s precisely what he did every morning. Well, one of his men.


The day he fell in love with Hutch started out like any other day. He woke up, ate a bowl of Trix cereal standing at the sink, washed it down with a root beer, and grabbed an apple on his way out – his one token effort to eat healthy.



“So what do you believe in, Starsky?”

 

“I believe in Christmas, Huggy’s triple chili cheese-burger, UFO’s, the Boston Red Sox, and you.”

 



Harold Dobey sighed. He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. He counted to ten. He glared at the light, willing it to green. He glanced up and down the street, and then gunned his car through the intersection, tinted scarlet from the still-red light.

 

“Violation, Cap. If I had my ticket book . . .” Starsky said, eyes closed in the passenger seat.

 

“Starsky, if you still had a ticket book . . .”

 

“I know, I’d be dangerous.”





And just for good measure: PMG/DS

Davey knocked softly. Smelled the cigar, the incense,heard Croce, an accompanying guitar.
Damn. This was bad. He knocked again and heard the guitar stop. The door opened and Paul stood before
him. Barefoot, in shorts, no shirt, hair a mess, a cigar chomped between his teeth.

You needeth to write the last one. I will get on my knees and beg for the last one to be written by you. I will sell pencils and apples on the corner to raise enough money to pay you to write the last one.

You know I'm always good at the start . . . sigh. And this doesn't even include sequels . . . maybe we can go off on a month retreat somewhere beautiful and you can sunbathe and eat chocolate and yell ideas at me from your oceanside chaise . . .

I'm both lucky to have seen more (as in pages) of some of these, and unlucky in that I'd can't convince you to finish the damnn things...

how about we start with Starsky's Day, huh?

Anything containing Captain Dobey and an array of ties must be finished. Obviously.

I know - I seriously love Dobey and his wardrobe - there needs to be an entire LJ community dedicated to that!

okay but you GOTTA finish one of yours - i SO DESPERATELY NEED a Nik fic! Seriously. I still think about Under and the one with the little yellow pad scrap . . . sigh - I'll send like, virtual coffee and chocolate and housekeepers . . .

Oh, rats - you've got me flying under false colors with "Under"; that's by the inestimable Salieri.
My muse granted me a single snippet at Christmas and has since done nothing but sit in my peripheral vision making rude gestures. I'll be sure and mention the chocolate to her, though!

If I had the wherewithal to match my good intentions, your inbox would be bursting with NS posts by me :-)
But I love having you on my cheer squad!

{{Hugs}} These are terrific, and I love the fourth SH one! Such a neat visual: the bowl of Trix, the apple grabbed on the run. And I always enjoy the theme of love sneaking up on someone on an ordinary day. :-) But the fifth just twists my heart: *Starsky* believing in the *Boston Red Sox*? Please God, no. {New York Yankee fan breaking out in hives here} ;) LOL.

yeah, I wish I could finish the Trix one - will try harder this weekend - but you know, feel free to steal . . . KAM stories are very good things . . .

{{Hugs}} Thank you! :-) Wow. My goodness. Your kind words tickle me pink -- as we say here in the Deep South. ;) But oh no, kind lady, while I would be *honored* to offer foster care, your gorgeous WIPs deserve your writer's magic and special writer's voice. I'll just line up with the rest of your inspiration team here and send your SH Muse strong, positive, creative vibes. :) :)
