section7mfu | Short Affair PROMPTS for January 18th

Hello All, and welcome to the first ‘Short Affair’ Prompt of 2016.

You will find the prompts, the due date, and the rules beneath the cut, but for the benefit of anyone who is new to the challenge, I’ll give a brief blurb.

Every week I randomly pluck two words from the dictionary. You choose one of the words and combine it with the prompt colour (which is chosen using a 20-sided die). You then write a story, with a word count between 300 – 1000 words, utilising your chosen prompt combination.

Your story can be a stand-alone piece, or you can use it as a chapter of a WIP. Some writers occasionally like use all the challenges on offer to build a longer fic. Section VII is a Gen site, but stories which are Het, Long-term Romance or AU can be posted in the Map Room. You’ll find the link for it down the side there.

The ‘Short Affair’ itself is perfect for anyone who hasn’t got the time to write something longer, or for people who prefer to write shorter stories.

So, come and join us. We have a lot of fun here.

-Prompt Word #1 - Plan

-Prompt Word #2 – Capture

-Prompt Colour – Black

-Due Date – 18th January 2016

Challenge Rules

-Your story should be built around ONE of the prompt words plus the colour. I.E.- Word #1/Colour or Word #2/Colour

-Word Count – must be between 300 and 1000.

-All stories should be headed with ‘Short Affair’ Challenge, the due date and your title.

-Please state at the top of your post which prompt combination you are using.

-Tags - please use short_affair, gen or gen-mature.

-Section VII is a Gen community, so stories should be appropriate, i.e. nothing explicit or overly-graphic. However, there is the Gen-Mature tag for anything containing violence, torture or mild Het. The Map Room should be used for Het stories, but again, nothing overly graphic.
