>>11671821My favorite intro comes from The Gunslinger:
"The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed."
I'm also a fan of the opening to Michael Moorcock's The Stealer of Souls:
"Elric...moulder of madness, dabbler in wild delights..."
What is your fic about? You want something that grabs the attention and you want to be tacticle. Describe your scenes in terms of the five senses.
Perhaps you could open your fic by having your protagonist in the middle of a situation. I highly recommend this. You want a dynamic protagonist, not a placid one. Stories with placid protagonists typically get you more interested in the villain, because the villain is doing something. Contrast this with a protagonist who simply reacts.
For example, I like Team Rocket in the games. I enjoyed the Team Rocket set from the TCG with dark pokemon. So I might open a fic with a TR protagonist in the middle of a heist to acquire whatever TR used to create dark pokemon.
Pic related; its a Rocket's Scyther. By the TCG rules, it is considered a "Dark" pokemon.
