Reminder for Down the Chimney Affair 2014

Just a reminder that sign-ups for the 2014 Down the Chimney Affair are open for another week! You can find the sign-up post here.

We have some great prompts that have yet to be claimed. Please check out the post and lay claim to the prompt of your choice!

This year's DtCA has some slightly different rules, in that it is an open promptfest rather than a strict gift exchange. That means that anyone, writer or not, can post a prompt request and that anyone else can claim a request, whether they post a prompt or not. Also, prompts can be fulfilled not just by fiction, but by art (photomanips, drawings, icons, etc.) and video as well. You can read the DtCA FAQ over here.

WRITER'S CHOICE~ "La Belle" by mrua7/mlaw

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Since I was in grade school and through college I participated in the competitive sport of 'fencing'....though sadly I had to stop after an injury and later on it was just too expensive a sport to take up again. (though now I'd give my eyeteeth to do it again....sigh)

So this little fic is my foray into the world of fencing with the MFU. In canon, their bios list fencing as a skill and in one episode we did see Napoleon briefly take up the foil. So it made sense for me to write this fic.

So to summarize, this story entails a visit to headquarters by a famous fencing master...who is based on the great Maestro Georgio Santelli, whose 'salle' was located in NYC.  My fencing teacher was the late Maestro Toni Orsi...one of his students did make it to the Olympics.

So 'c'est ici' : "La Belle" (la belle is a term used in fencing and is referred to as 'the beautiful one" the point in scoring that breaks a tie and wins the match)

I have two other stories that involve fencing:

"The Fat Tuesday Affair"    and "Touche"

As some of you know, I'm still trying to catch up on the vast array of MFU fanfiction which is on offer. I came across this little gem, by avrovulcan yesterday. No doubt, you'll have all read it, but I hope you enjoy it again.
