So do they have to come from 10 different stories?  'Cause I don't think I have that many.  Lemme see...

1) Trip stopped suddenly at the railing and looked out over the bay below.  The two shuttlepods stood like dark shadows, barely outlined by the low light.

2) "Stop! Please! I don't want to rest.  I want to get out of here!" But there was utter silence, as heavy and oppressive as the darkness. She couldn't have gone that quickly. I would have heard her. She looked uselessly around. A wave of frustration washed over her and was replaced by doubt and fear. She hugged her pack to her chest and rocked back and forth on the pallet. Damn it, John, she thought.Where are you?

3) "The men would have been useful for this," said Assai. "We should have made them help."

4) The cow nuzzled at her long black hair, puzzling over its potential edibility. J'Risha sighed in annoyed frustration. The mooing and the clank of cowbells had quite thoroughly eclipsed the song she had been playing, and she was not pleased.

5) The fellow stumbled limply through the swinging doors of the Bloody Bucket Tavern and Eatery. Two or three people looked up in mild curiosity at his entrance. They considered the new-comer a moment before their slow minds identified him as no one of great interest or importance and they fell back into their usual lethargic indifference. Only one person followed the movements of the stranger as he dragged himself to the scarred and grimy bar and pulled himself wearily onto one of the high stools before it. Inhaling deeply, the young man tried to gather enough air and energy to place his order.

6) The younger man came around to the front of the Headmaster’s desk and sat. "It's for his own good, sir. We both know that. If he is a Disaster Point we need to know."

7) When one is alone in a veritable wasteland with a single oasis in sight, one tends not to ask questions. But in this case, Loren wasn't sure.

8) He thought he heard a muffled shuffling beyond the door. His mouth tried to form speech, but shortly gave it up as a lost cause. He knocked again. This time he heard a rattling as, suddenly, the door gave way and he stumbled inside.

9) He was old, had been old for a long time. It should have been no surprise when it came, but it was. To all but himself, is was a sad and sorrowful surprise.

As it turns out, I have nine WIPs. It's just that seven of them are all in the same universe, and they're not fanfiction. Oy.

ETA: Do three wee snippets that have no stories to go into count as WIP? 'Cause I just found three of them.

ETA2: Uh, I meant to say I just found six. D'oh! Maybe I should go to bed now.
