It's All About April - Drabble Tale - What Happens in Vegas, Pt 5

[avirra.livejournal.com]

Once the door to the suite was shut again, the smell of fresh coffee coming from the carafe on the table lured April. The water was still running and she decided a hot cup of coffee would help clear the remaining wisps of fog in her head. She had no more than taken her first sip when another knock came at the door. Setting the cup down, she cautiously made her way back to the door and peered through the peephole again before flinging the door open.

"Napoleon! Illya! You don't know how good it is to see you!"

It's never too early for Halloween

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Is anyone up for the Halloween Challenge over on The Scrapbook this year? Since so many of us are writing something for the 50th Anniversary, I thought I would ask first before posting anything official.

It is pretty straight forward - you post a photo (MFU or otherwise) as a prompt and let the writer know if you prefer gen or slash. Writers claim the photo anonymously and then write something to go with the photo. The stories can run from 100 words to however long you want. Stories will posted starting on the last weekend of October. You don't have to take a prompt in return for posting a story, but it's more fun that way.

Thanks and I hope to hear from you.

"Privileged Communications"~ for WEDNESDAY IS ALL ABOUT APRIL

April Dancer put the finishing touches to her makeup before exiting the ladies room at the courtroom in Den Haag...better known to the world as The Hague; it was the headquarters of the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, and a number of other international organizations, as well as hosting a number of investigate tribunals, peace conferences, and treaty meetings. Today though saw the end to another Nazi war criminal's freedom.

She and her partner, Mark Slate, had been sent to oversee the transfer of the man who'd been captured in Holland and brought to trial. He was convicted of war crimes committed in the Ukraine and sentenced to life in prison, to be served back in Germany.

With them was a taciturn and somber Illya Kuryakin who was supervising the transfer of the prisoner. The Russian was being particularly quiet as they arrived for the prisoner pickup and he chose to remain behind far enough the heavily shackled fellow named Hofstetter who was flanked on either side by Dancer and Slate.

Kuryakin seemed to want to have nothing to do with the former Nazi, and though he said nothing; April’s instincts told her Illya either knew the man or had someone in his life affected by the former Nazi’s actions.

Moving In - All About April

The story trail is listed here, although the dance between agents Dancer and Kuryakin has a longer history than this.  I apologize for the agonizing multi-part nature of this story, but R/L being what it is I'm peddling as fast as I can.
Thanks in advance for reading.

Moving In

The flight from Kennedy into Heathrow had been ample time for the four agents to solidify their plans.  Illya had spent some time sketching, much to the amazement of the other three.  He was a musician, they all knew that, and his ability to become whatever character a mission demanded spoke of some acting ability that would be the envy of any professional in Hollywood or on Broadway.

But designing dresses?  Seated in an area dedicated to drinks and conversation, the Russian had been drawing in earnest for the last couple of hours of the flight and as he closed his sketchbook there was a sense of satisfaction that showed in the subtle hint of a smile.

MFU50 MiniBang looking for a Beta who is familiar with Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

A MFU50 MiniBang writer is looking for a Beta who is familiar with Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' universe.
The story will be a MFU / His Dark Materials crossover.  She says -

Whoever you are, you won't have to worry about grammar or many typos.  I teach English for a living and am something of a perfectionist with my own work.  I just need someone to check my consistency/continuity and notice if I made any mistakes regarding the daemons.  Writing in this universe, I've discovered, means essentially doubling all your main characters, which leaves lots of room for continuity errors and the like.

Please let me (akane42me) know if you can help!  Thanks!
