Fic Work-In-Progress Guessing Game

Comment with a word, any word. If it’s in my WIP document(s) I’ll answer your comment with the sentence that it appears in.

Thank you anyway!

(When I did it on tumblr people from Histories fandom gave me the kind of concrete nouns that often work well for medieval-set fic, of which I don't have any ip, and it kept on throwing up the same thrilling sentence about the sort of prosaic items that might be considered useful guest-gifts in the cold winter of '47.)

I have been using the verb-adjectives from my 'how depressed are you today' test (mainly because I happened to have it open in another tab the first time round), which seem to be sufficiently common but active enough to pull up interesting sentences.

A cunning ploy!

A 'how depressed are you today' test seems very sensible. I have a 'have you got flu or just a headache' one.

It's interesting what comes up with something and what doesn't. The one I'm surprised didn't for me is elmey's "wicked" - not least because it comes up in Sayers and the majority of the WIPs I'm searching have suitable subject matter. But somehow it hasn't got in there. Yet.
