'Short Affair' PROMPTS for March 16th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

It’s a wild and wet morning here in the Northeast of England, and I’ve woken with a horrible cold. Luckily, the adventures of a pretty blond Russian and a handsome brunet American are enough to make me feel better. How about writing something for me? There’s still plenty of time to get something posted today from last week’s prompts.

If you have nothing for today, maybe you could try for next week with the prompts you’ll find hidden beneath the cut. You’ll find the rules down there also.

Have fun.

"Snowed in and no where to go" ~ for the Short Affair

Challenge: The Short Affair

Prompts: glint/white

author: mrua7

title: All that snow and nowhere to go
word count: approx 1000

The snow had finally stopped and the sky became blue and cloudless, but it wasn’t warm enough to start melting the white that had blanketed everything during the night.

Napoleon Solo shivered, though he was in his small bubble tent, wrapped in his sleeping bag and safe, for the moment.

Honour and Integrity - 'Short Affair' - March 9th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Prompts – Glint/White
Word Count (approx.) – 750


Melvin Owens had been kneeling in the snow for almost forty minutes. The cold, however, was nothing in comparison to the icy glint in the eye of his captor. Beyond ordering Owens to his knees, Illya Kuryakin had said nothing. Melvin had said plenty. He’d pleaded for his life, offered to sell THRUSH secrets and, as time went on, starting giving up the secrets for free. The information being imparted was of little interest to the Russian, though his subconscious stored it away for a later time.

2015 HODOWE #2: Patriots' Day -- Guidelines

[carabele.livejournal.com]

The LIFECYCLE: Knowledge challenge is in the books. Thanks to all who participated! So now comes the third seasonal challenge of the year, the second HODOWE (e.g. HOLIDAYS OF DUBIOUS ORIGINS WRITING EVENT) challenge. This HODOWE centers on PATRIOTS' DAY!

Here are the guidelines for the HODOWE: Patriots' Day seasonal challenge.

CHALLENGE: Write an MFU fanfic story regarding the ideas embodied in Patriots' Day. The story doesn't have to necessarily mention or include the day by name; just embody a scenario that fits the concept behind it. PATRIOTS DAY isn't an international holiday of course, but it isn't even really any sort of nationally recognized holiday in the U.S. It is observed strictly in the states of Massachusetts, Wisconsin and Maine, with observance also "encouraged" in Florida. Prior to 1969, it was celebrated on April 19th. Since 1969, it has been celebrated on the third Monday in April. It was initiated to commemorate the Battles of Lexington and Concord fought during the American Revolutionary War; so some general ideas for the challenge would include (1) the ideals of the American Revolution, (2) memoriam of those who fought for national independence anywhere and anytime, and (3) personal liberties. And of course the Boston Marathon takes place on this day and has every year since 1897; so there is a natural tie-in there as well.

STATISTICAL STUFF: Minimum of 500 words with no set maximum. (Drabbles are not incorporated in this particular challenge.) 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. Please tag your story with the hodowe and patriots tags.

POSTING: To this forum starting on Saturday, April 18th, and ending on Saturday, April 25th.
