Short Affair PROMPTS for May 16th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Short stories are fantastic for a number of reasons, but I think the best is that it doesn’t take up much time. For the reader, a story with a word count between 300 and 1000 words makes a lovely little bite-sized package for when time is tight. For the writer, it gives you the opportunity to show off your creativity when you haven’t got the time to pen something longer.

So come on one and all, join us with a Short Affair of your own. You’ll find the prompts and the rules, for stories due on May 16th, beneath the cut.

If you want to join in with today’s postings, you’ll find those prompts right here.

Remember, 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.

Have fun.


-Prompt Word #1 - Exact

-Prompt Word #2 – Regret


-Prompt Colour – Yellow


-Due Date – 16th May 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.

-Also, as a courtesy to others, please use the LJ Cut, so as not to take up all the room on someone’s feed.
