Happy April Fool's Day

[crossover_chick]

I've seen a couple of interesting pranks, though LJ seems to have slacked off this year. Shame, shame.
I haven't, though -- The Inkwellians are due for a surprise. Simon's birthday celebration will be later this evening.

In the meantime, I have a meme for y'all. I saw it on somebody's journal a few days ago, and figured, what the heck:
Post a sentence or two from some of your current works-in-progress.

#1
Alice shook her head. “One day, Rabbit, we’re going to find a way to make you slow down.”

#2
Scraggly grass and stunted trees dotted the expanse. There was no sign of civilization at all.

#3
He stared nervously at the liquid in the cup. It was bubbling slightly - whether that was a good sign or not, he couldn't tell.

#4
His heart skipped a beat. Standing not ten feet away from him was – was her.


Now, I know what some of you might be thinking. "Oh, it's April Fool's Day. She's pulling a prank. They're all probably fake."

You're almost right.

Three of the snippets I just posted are from real fics I'm working on. The fourth, I just made up. Can you guess which is the fake WIP? :D

Hmm, that's a tough one. Of the options presented, #4 seems most like it fits in something you're known to be currently working on (Solicitor's Ward). Therefore, being the least likely answer, it is probably the right one, so I guess #4.

Sorry, your first instinct was correct, except it's the wrong Victor/Alice pairing. It's actually from "Love Will Find A Way," the midquel/sequel to "Cinder-Marty" (which I will post sometime this century, damn it).

At any rate, that's one of the real ones. ^^;

No? Nuts. On a second look-through, the thing that really grabs me is the bubbling liquid in #3 - Standard Mad Science Decor notwithstanding, Doc's never really seemed to be a Chem guy to me, (hey, maybe it's Marty having his first encounter with Chester's whiskey in the "OckDoc Part III"? That would make me happy), though I suppose there were a couple bubbly liquids in Corpse Bride. Yeah, I'm pretty stumped.

Hey, speaking of April Fool's jokes, did you see this by any chance?

LOL, no! Oh man, that looks fairly awesome -- makes you wish it was real. And is making me wonder who I'd have in my personal League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I mean, Doc's a shoe-in, and I'd want Alice and Victor too, but who else? Hmmm.
