Yeah! Fun! Let's do this! I've been trying to decide which of my WIPs to dive back into, and this seems like a good excuse to peruse them...

GOD I LOVE THIS QUESTION. Closing line, for SURE. I feel like the opening image is more important than the opening line, if that makes sense? You have a few sentences, maybe even a few paragraphs, to get your image across. But if you nail that closing line, you can ride that high for years.
the real answer, i know, is both. both is good. but authors: would you rather nail the opening line of a story, or the closing line?

Death Star advocates say shooting into the little hidden vent will blow the whole thing up…

… so definitely don’t do that…
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

ooh this is FAScinating
here is the top 100 list of all time! Being at 43 while only being an active fandom for 3 years is really impressive! I have no doubt we’ll crack top 20 in a couple of years ❤️

Y'all, y'all, y'all, guess who just podficced my silly little season 2 missing scene! It's SO good, and you should go listen right now!

And again for the morning crowd!
Chapter 5 of "Slowly Come Undone" is up! We're here: the chapter where this fic earns its E rating. Come for the angst, stay for the tender/angry/weird Ed-on-Ed selfcest.
