Which Opening Paragraph is Better for a Fanfic? I'm writing a Warriors fan fiction. I already got most of it planned and a couple of chapters up on a different site but I think I'm gonna re-write it. Like, real serious now. Which opening sounds better guys? Option 1. The Moon was a thin silver claw in the sky, gleaming bright against the deep dark blue. Thick storm clouds approached from over the hills. The forest was dim, little stars glinted through leaves, shining courage and hope into the shadows. Silhouettes of all sizes were slinking into shallow burrows, woven reeds, bramble dens, some curled up in the open, fearless of the coming storm. Sleep was coming over the lake like a thick, warm blanket. Option 2. The Moon was a thin, silver claw in the sky. Its bright gleam raked the dark abyss surrounding it. Thick clouds slowly curled over the distant hills, ready to strike with a storm. Slivers of light flitted through the forest canopy, darting across the dimly lit foliage and shedding courage into the shadows. Silhouettes vanished into dens, a few stayed out in the open, fearless of the sharp gale that foreshadowed the approaching cloudburst. Sleep was sweeping over the lake as swiftly as the billowy wind.
