#firstlinelastline: Mashup the first line of a novel with the last line of another
Yesterday Matt Thomas tweeted a mashup of the first line from The Old Man and the Sea and the last line of The Great Gatsby. Then he tweeted one with the first line of Moby-Dick and the last line of Gravity’s Rainbow. I thought this mashup needed to become a genre, so I gave it a hashtag: #firstlinelastline
Some of the results are really fun. An easy way to get started is to look at these lists of 100 Best First Lines and 100 Best Closing Lines.
Tweet out your own and use the hashtag! #firstlinelastline
UPDATE: Oh, what the heck, let’s make it a Tumblr, too.
