HODOWE: Vernal Equinox Challenge Guidelines

[carabele.livejournal.com]

Though the Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras/Carnivale challenge (Mardi Gras Challenge Guidelines) is still going on (you still have today and Saturday to post your stories for that), I wanted to post the guidelines for the next HODOWE challenge to give folks as much time as possible for writing.

CHALLENGE: Write an MFU fanfic story regarding the ideas embodied in the Vernal Equinox. The story doesn't have to necessarily mention or include the day by name; just embody a scenario that fits the concept behind it. Some general ideas in this regard: (1) renewal (physical, emotional or spiritual), (2) equality (day and night are perfectly equal at the equinox) and what more embodies the essence of U.N.C.L.E. than the equality of humanity?, (3) resurrection and rebirth (interesting concepts to play with, no?), and (4) the Vernal Equinox also has an association with light and fire that can be utilized.

STATISTICAL STUFF: Minimum of 500 words with no set maximum. Must fit into the overall concepts of this community, i.e., contain no explicit adult material and reflect the 1960s series in style and content.

POSTING: To this forum (and on fanfiction dot net), starting on March 18th and ending on March 24th.

Illyushadarling - See Paris And Die Affair

Poor Illya gets a sound thrashing in the See Paris And Die Affair, and for perhaps the only time we see bruises and what looks to be the real aftermath of a brawl.  He also gets dumped on just a wee bit when Napoleon shoves him under the bus, metaphorically speaking, regarding the jewels in the furniture.  Poor Illyushadarling.  This sequence of pictures portraying Illya's misery is perhaps the best known sequence in the entire episode.
