Meme: Stories that never were

[rabidsamfan]

From rubynye, who inspired me to give this a try: (If nothing else, it might break the writer's block.)

Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.

Any fandom you've seen me write before is fair game. I'll try to come back with at least three of the possibilities.

scraps of this are still lurking on my computer somewhere, you know...*guilty look*


the first sentence: "I think this pack must be toys, Uncle."
the last sentence: Frodo gasped, and then laughed, the blush rising to heat even the tips of his ears, and Bilbo laughed too, reassured that he was doing the right thing by leaving Frodo here in the Shire.
the thing that made me want to write it: I wanted to give you a proper present.
the biggest problem I had while writing it: I had a terrible time figuring out how to get Lily in there!
why it almost never got posted: For a long time it had a beginning and an end but no middle.
something else that I want readers to know There really are several pages of this one... *sigh*

Well, instead of leaving those several pages dormant on your computer, you should perhaps consider sending them to me and let me play with what you have.I still would love to see this tale come to life!
