5.

They're sitting on the couch watching the last quarter of the Lakers-Warriors game and making their way through a family-sized bucket of fried chicken (well, Tony is; Obadiah has been nursing a tumbler of Irish whiskey for the last hour and a half) when Jarvis tells them that Col. Rhodes is approaching the house.

It's somewhere in Austria, and the sex wasn't good enough for Tony to fall asleep afterwards.

25. Iron Man, Fourth of July.
In an act of pure public relations theater, Howard and Obadiah go to a Yankees game on the Fourth of July and conveniently allow the Esquire reporter to tag along.


In conclusion, I write a shitload of Iron Man fic. And I use flatly declarative, compound or complex sentences. Sometimes, I will dial it way back and use a simple sentence. And other times, I use a compound-complex sentence. Aren't I creative? I suspect that I should've done this, actually, with endings rather than first lines because I'm less active about making them conform to a single, rigid standard.

The real fannish effort of the past twenty-four hours has been making a minute or so of a vid set to "Riverwide" by Kris Delmhorst in some kind of vague attempt to commentate on Tony Stark and the military industrial complex or something? Something like that. Iron Man, footage from the first ep of Generation Kill.

...how did I miss this post. How? I'm pretty sure booze was involved, but that's not an excuse. That vid, man, combining two of my favorite things and making me feel a touch guilty for enjoying it to boot. NOICE.

Yes, yes, yes. Lots of present tense, lots of stark (no pun intended) bare choppy first lines. Part of why I love your writing.
