This week's word is...
order

How to play: Find the word in any WIP and comment with the sentence containing it. Just the one, ideally! The less context, the more hilarious & interesting it can be.

Rules:
- All fandoms, all ships, all writers welcome
- Give a head's up for disturbing/distressing content
- If you share a sentence, please read some left by other writers and drop at least one person a comment. (If you leave the first comment, thanks for starting us off, and we hope you'll pop back around later!)

Note: Posting the word game to dreamwidth is an experiment! We have established communities on tumblr and bluesky, but I've never cross-posted the game here. If people enjoy this, we might keep it up. We've been playing the word game every week since early 2020. It's usually posted on Wednesdays.

Ooh exciting to see this on DW! From my Gotchard AU longfic wip:
Following the rules of alchemist society was something extremely important to his virtues and core values. To help make sure that the natural order stayed intact was something he was more than willing to do.

Though despite what his beliefs were, there were doubts about the Union that trickled into his mind over the past year during the battle against Glion.

this is exciting! here's the one I posted on discord yesterday.

“You shouldn’t be jealous. He didn’t know my favorite food or holiday,” Kitty said.

“Your favorite food is kalguksu. When we went out to that restaurant last semester, you ordered it and told us there was this Korean place in Portland that you used to face time Dae from and the first time you went, you had no idea what you wanted, so you ordered something that sounded comforting yet unfamiliar, landing on kalguksu. Since then, it was something you always ordered there.

“Your favorite holiday is Valentine’s Day, although many think it’s Christmas, which I can’t blame them for. You have a big heart and an immense capacity for love, which I think is one of your most defining qualities. Even if your own love life is complicated, you always go out of your way to help others find their loves. That’s why you’re a matchmaker and why I want you to be happy with someone you want to be with,” Yuri spilled her heart out. “Even if it’s not me,” she whispered.

Oooh, more places for Wordgaming. :D

From my Ghost/Mechanisms crossover for the Big Bang

I am bored. The Toy soldier has gone into sleep mode because Raphaella told it to sit in it’s room. And as always, it obeyed. I should ask the spider drones to create some vocal cords for me to order it about.

Oh, fun to have this on Dreamwidth! Here’s my sentence (from my first ever fic…which is still a wip…
Baekhyun shows Sunyoung his phone's fried chicken order confirmation screen. “Transaction complete.”

Ahh this sounds so ominous! I need to watch more so I don’t know everything and can’t place it, but I think that makes it feel even more weighty.
From: [personal profile] bluedreaming
The contrast is so evocative! Such a tiny bit on “him” compared to the rich detail with which Yuri can describe Kitty.

This is really fun! It makes me curious about the thing that is, if it’s prompting dessert (and presumably spending more time or self-indulgence?)

From a longfic I'm determined to finish this year.

You can do it! It's still two months! Plenty of time!
From: [personal profile] stefanyeah
This is so good, all the details Yuri remembered about Kitty as opposed to 'him'. <3

Surely, that'd not happen at all in any piece of fiction!
