Outstanding Opening Line Award

Malkolm glared at the potted plant on Kelm’s writing desk, willing it to topple over onto the ground.
- Pompadour

’I Love That Line’ Award

The wipers shuddered their way across the windshield, uncertain at first, then finding the groove to their movements.

It cut open my fingertips and made me bleed onto the picture of the family that would never be mine.
- AdrianMoon

Delightful Description

The corridors themselves were ramrod straight, broken only by other corridors or doors every few hundred feet.
- Meandbooks

The crowd thinned as she neared the gates, funnelling into a slow colum that fed itself through the imposing gate that lead out of the city.
- Auxiira

Week XI Commences!

Loving the description this week!! Amazing effort. 13 remain.

There were raised eyebrows, there were whispers, there were giggles, and then there were two smiles.
- Falconer

’I Love That Line’ Award

There were white afterimages hovering over everything. Amara had to blink a few times to clear her sight.

Compared to me, the proclaimed Prank King, Kyle was a mere pawn needing my kind guidance to show him the right path.
- SpiritedWolfe

Delightful Description

I unbraid my hair and let it tumble down my back in a dark wave.

Even the hint of blood in the air filters through his nose unnoticed.

"Oh my gosh, what happens next?"
What I'm writing is a great big mess.

Each character comes back, after they leave.
'cause, darling, I'm an author.
The world burns for me.

He had caught a whiff of the combined aromas from the bowls outside, and it was queer and unpleasant.

Delightful Description

The sun was hot the first day, and when it finally slipped below the horizon, she kept walking with the comfort that at least it would be cooler.

- ScarlettFire

Sunday is nearing. Seriously, chapters need to be written.

I said, "I wanna write a book
With a great beginning and really good hook."
Only reviewers can help me now.
Nothing lasts forever --but this is gonna take me down.

Outstanding Opening Line Award

By the time Lucius and the group even started walking, the sky was transforming into a neon orange streaked with yellow.
- EnderFlash

’I Love That Line’ Award

The way his face went from so light and happy to exhausted was a bit worrying, but that’s what happens when you’re sick enough to leave school.
- SpiritedWolfe

She rang the ovular doorbell and took a step back, putting on a bright smile in the silence that followed.
- Falconer

Delightful Description

I then noticed the huge gash that ran down the right of her face. It started right next to her eye and then its stopped right before her cheekbone. The cut – as I remember it now – wasn’t a clean one, but jagged.
- AdrianMoon

Katin's hands wrapped around a slimy grub at the exact same moment a flurry of wings blotted out the sun.
- Arkhaion

Week XIV Commences!

No fallen warriors AGAIN this week! AH! Bursting with pride. Sorry the round up took so long. Life got in the way so it took me some time to read through all the entries.

On to the next chapter!

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to drop out of LMS, as school and life are keeping me busy.

Best of luck to everyone who's still writing!

Outstanding Opening Line Award

The first thing Lucius did was to scuttle behind Claud, using the older man as a personal meat shield.
- EnderFlash

’I Love That Line’ Award

With that said, and with a last sign towards Mettrick, Kamikaz brandished her oversized trident and marched out of the inn, her cape floating with determination behind her back.
- Tortwag

Thick boughs stretched overhead, leaves peeping between the wooden spaces, and arching magnificently over the track.
- Pompadour

Two sets of double doors stood open at the end, but all Verona could see was a large, cacophonous crowd.

I looked at him, stuck on the surface of the deep purple light, his own red light waning.

Congratulations, my fellow Team Striprime comrades! Of the thirty-two who first embarked on this perilous journey, only ten have survived thus far - and all four of us are included in that number! Let our resolve remain unwavering and may we stand to the end!

To the six other Warriors, I wish you the best of luck. You'll need it ;P
