PICFIC Tuesday Prompt for October 7th

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

OMG October already? How time has flown this year.  So much going on with the MFU50 mini-bangs being posted...and lest we forget the Annual Halloween Challenge on Scrapbook at the end of the month.

PicFic just keeps chugging along doesn't it?  So in honor of a month that's filled with things 'going bump in the night,' I offer for your perusal two images...one bucolic and one not so pleasant. Well, not really bucolic and unpleasant...shall I just say 'interesting' instead?

They're both part of a different worlld, one of mystery, spies, and danger. Yet here something different can happen, the inexpiicable, strange and surely it's not unlike....'the Twilight Zone. (cue the thunderclap... giggle)

As a change of pace this week I'm giving you two prompts. You may choose one or both, but choose wisely as two prompts require two stories... Your stories can go whereever your imagination takes you, and don't have to be spooky at all BUT they do have to involve our brave Men from U.N.C.L.E. (save 'spooky' for the upcoming Mood-Y challenge at the end of the month here on Section VII)

The rules of the challenge are behind the squeaky door:

Introducing the brand new ‘Short Affair’ Challenge

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Last week I posted a short story to Section VII which was prompted by a random word plucked from the dictionary. I was having difficulty in finding theme for new stories and happened to glance at the dictionary, which is permanently stationed on my desk. I opened it at a random page, closed my eyes, and pointed. It gave me the word ‘key’. I had initially intended to start my own short story series until mrua7 suggested I could get everyone involved. She ran it past glennagirl and a new challenge was born.

Here’s how it will work:-

Every Monday, I will pluck two words from the dictionary and offer them both as prompts. I will also choose a random colour. This will be done using one of my multisided dice. Each number will have a colour assigned to it. You will then have the choice of which word to use, in addition to the colour, to build your story around. For example, if the words were key and window and the colour was red, your story would be based on either key/red or window/red. Don’t worry about those prompts, as they are only examples.

Stories will be due the following Monday. This will give you a week to come up with something.
This will be a short story challenge with fics coming it at between 300 and 1000 words. I will be posting the first prompts on Monday October 6th, with the first stories being due on October 13th.

I would like to thank mrua7 for the absolutely wonderful banner she has provided for this challenge. It matches me perfectly.

I look forward to taking part in this challenge with you.

REMINDER: Mood-Y -- Challenge 5

[carabele.livejournal.com]

Because the timing on this the fifth and final challenge for 2014 in the Mood-Y series here on section7mfu is somewhat shorter than usual, I figured I ought to provide a few extra reminders. Posting for Mood-Y -- Challenge 5 opens on Saturday, October 25th, and runs through the following Saturday, November 1st.

The mood for this fifth challenge is apropos for Halloween: SPOOKED.

The guidelines for Mood-Y: Challenge 5 can be found here.

Happy, happy ...

Happy birthday, mrau7! (Not sure if it's okay to put this here, but I couldn't get the picture in a regular message -- sorry). I hope you have a great birthday!
