I had an idea.  I know, it's newsworthy and something to share with everyone.  Here it is:
What about an MFU Crossover Challenge for all genres, any other fandom of your choice sharing space with our guys, Solo and Kuryakin.  What do you think?
This is something that will have a longer timeframe for completion, say two to three months, and can include illustrations and artwork, photo manips, etc... in order to better portray the story and characters.  We would be posting in uncle_du_jour since it is an all genre event.  I know we have writers who are active in other fandoms, and this is an opportunity to let some different characters play in our yard, so to speak.  It also gives us the opportunity to share an event with those who write in other genres of MFU.  I suppose we would also want to include the movie version, just to be fair you know.
So again, I ask you for an opinion on this idea.  If there's enough interest then we'll go forward with it.

Woohoo!

I'm going to brag on us a little because when I clicked on the button that lets me check community rankings, Section VII is at #321.  I realize that may not sound like much, but it's 20 places higher than last week; in looking at the numbers there are 10,000 communities, and we are #321. I think that's cool when you consider we were the Little Engine that could.
Thank you to every person who has written, read and lurked.  You made it work.

A Crossover from the Archives of Section VII

We're talking about having a Crossover Challenge that will allow the writers to explore beyond the limits of UNCLE HQ and Del Floria's... I am excited about it and hope you all will be as well.
This little adventure was something mrua7 and I did a while back as a Call and Response.  I think you'll recognize who we're writing about.  It started as a drabble, and the links to the chapters are behind the cut.

Double Blond

“I just had the most peculiar experience.”

Illya had come into his and Napoleon’s office and sat down hard, causing his chair to roll slightly.

“Peculiar?  In what way?”

Napoleon had a different way of measuring what was or was not peculiar.

“I saw a man on the street who … it’s ridiculous I suppose, but…”

The blond was shaking his head, seemingly unable to express himself.

“What?  Don’t just leave me without the punch line, Illya.”

Illya looked up, his blue eyes truly disturbed.  Now Napoleon was interested, if not a little concerned.

“He looked just like me.”
