infiniteviking take the first line of your last 20 stories and see what this says about your writing.
I've included fanfic and original writings here.
1. It was an interesting time to live in Paris.
2. ‘In a few years,’ Namikaze Minato thought, ‘it’s going to be impossible to sneak up on him.’
3. “Why do you think Aizen-sama put in a sun?” asked Nnoitra, shading his eye from the unaccustomed light.
4. Undercover missions were not Kakashi’s strong point.
5. Dean breathed a quiet sigh of relief when the credits to Dumbo began to roll.
6. Nobody believed him when he told them, but John had been a shy and withdrawn child with no friends and no interests beyond spending time in his own head.
7. Michail was hunting dragons through the ruins when one of the structures, a circle covered in vines and faint markings, began to glow the faint blue of magic.
8. Kirnan reviewed the first contact information for the seventh time, his middle digit beating the tempo of the Capernon Confederation’s anthem against his console.
9. It is only logical, that if you want to get rid of something, you throw it away.
10. Prison reminded Sam a lot of high school.
11. Uric got lost on purpose.
12. When he was eleven, Sam got it into his head that what they were doing was illegal.
13. The Evil Overlord Academy Class of ‘24 graduated at five in the afternoon on a Tuesday.
14. Jessie came home from her winter break full of smiles and confidence.
15. One day the, Doctor was sure, he was going to accumulate infinite knowledge of every single forest in every single world/parallel dimension/Syllarbarius III.
16. Myron Gormand always wanted to be a pirate, so when the pirate raiders from the pirate planet Deeblinde ambushed the Collective ship he lived on, he was overjoyed.
17. Long ago, the Firebenders were said to have been forged from various metals in the centre of the world.
18. Long ago in a land much like our own – providing you grew up in ancient China - there was an ancient Earth king, Bumi, who wished to learn the true secrets of the four elements.
19. “Why can’t humans be house elves, Ferry?”
20. When the summons from the Emperor came Heng was lecturing his two new students – a rich man and his new wife, and his old student (who was listening so intently his snores drowned out the sound of the approaching horse’s hooves).
In general, it seems I default to starting stories with factual statements. The rest are pretty varied though it proves I'll use dialogue if I can get away with it. Anything else you guys notice?

There are a lot of good hooks here; 9, 11, and especially 13 are especially good. I really want to know what's up with 13. XD
