Short Affair PROMPTS for August 8th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

August has dawned bright and warm. It is perfect for sitting in the garden and writing a short story.

The rules are simple. Choose one of the prompt words, combine it with the colour prompt, then write something with a word count of between 300 -1000 words. You’ll find the prompts, and all the rules beneath the cut.

There is still plenty of time to contribute to today’s posts from last week’s prompts. If you want to join in, 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 - Pose

-Prompt Word #2 – Carry


-Prompt Colour – Yellow


-Due Date – 8th August 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.
