My First Story... The Gods Aren't Crazy, They're Tan

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

This is the first story I ever wrote, for MFU or otherwise.
 It inspired me to write a longer piece that became, eventually Angels Unaware

The Spirit Stone

[pactnmmt.livejournal.com]

This story is not my first MFU fanfic but it is my first completed story published. Many are familiar with "The Lost and Alone Affair" which was my first fanfic but it was several months before I had all chapters posted. This story "The Spirit Stone" is my first short fanfic published in its entirety at one time. The link takes you to a ao3

Okay, I'll weigh in

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

The first MFU story I ever wrote was The Romanian Affair. It was written in 1979 and is pretty raw. At that point I'd not seen any of the episodes and relied upon the books, magazines and TBG's memory for my information. It was first published in UNCLE Special in 1980 and has been reprinted since. I've since tried to rewrite it and it never worked, so I just let it be.

The Kindness Of Strangers

[avery11.livejournal.com]

At Glennagirl's request, here's the first story I ever wrote. It was my "thank you" for all the wonderful stories I'd been reading in the months after I discovered MFU fan fiction. Six year later, and I'm still in awe of all the talent here among the Cousins, and feeling very, very lucky to have found you all.

The Kindness Of Strangers

She kept to the shadows, her thin frame pressed against the filthy brick wall of the building as she edged her way down the alley.  Dead leaves and odd bits of trash skittered about her feet, buffeted by the icy November wind as it blew in off the bay.  It had snowed earlier in the day, and more was predicted for the evening rush hour.  Shivering, the girl clutched the grimy edges of her cotton jacket closer for warmth, wishing for the thousandth time that she'd thought to bring a heavier coat. And hat. Gloves. Money.

The first story I ever wrote:

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

I'm sure most people have read this already but, "Beginnings" was the very first Man from U.N.C.L.E. story written by me. Since today is a day of 'firsts' prompted by Glennagirl, I decided to add it to the collection.

It's a backstory of Illya Kuryakin and his eventual arrival at UNCLE.  When I first posted it, it was a mess as I tried to cram too much too quickly. Thanks to Avery11's sage advice to slow down, I rewrote the story and was very happy with the end result. It went from a short story to something that was rather epic.

It spans his childhood to becoming an adult. I've since started posted more backstories that fill in the gaps in Beginnings. There's now...I think, 31 Illya backstories posted on FF.net under my other user name of Mlaw.

One of my very first reviews on 'Beginnings'  said "I'd have paid money to read this."  I was, needless to say, blown away.

I'd like to thank all the cousins out there for their continued support and comments over the years, and their valued help as well!

Hmmm... My First Story?

[carabele.livejournal.com]

What would be considered my first MFU story depends on whether you mean the first story I publicly posted or the one I actually started writing first. Thing is my real first MFU story took a year to complete, so I did make public some shorter stories in the meanwhile.

So to make a long story short (pun intended), here we go:

FIRST STORY I EVER POSTED:

Name (Link): TRUSTING OPTIMISM
When Completed: 11/06/2009
Genre: GEN
Rating: PG (Mild Violence)
Summary: Sometimes it takes more than talent, training and toughness to complete a mission...
Words: @ 3100

---

FIRST STORY I EVER STARTED WRITING:

Name (Link): THE WAVES OF CHANGE AFFAIR
When Completed: 04/14/2010
Genre: GEN
Rating: R (Violence/Torture, Sexual Innuendo, Adult Situations)
Summary: It's 2007. Napoleon and Illya are both now policymakers for U.N.C.L.E. and have been for some 20 years. Yet their field agent pasts are always with them and one particular old affair springs to new life in the form of a "Thrush technological residual".
Words: @ 120,000

First Story

[jkkitty.livejournal.com]

My first story Changing of the Past Beliefs  where I introduced my AU character of Josephina Kuryakin.   I first posted it on FanFiction  in March of 2013 then A03.  After I had it cleaned up by Lisa (Kuryakin Files) it was Nominee for the Fan Q Award 2013.   Here is the A03 link.

Occam's Razor

[lindafishes8.livejournal.com]

My first posted story in Section VII was "Occam's Razor." "The Friendly Fire Incident" was my first stab at writing but took several months to complete with good friend Mrua7's guidance and encouragement. Here are links to both stories. They will take you to AO3. Enjoy!

Firsts

[ssclassof56.livejournal.com]

First Post
It will soon be a year since I found SectionVII, so my first post is fairly recent. It was a Short Affair called The Signal.

First Story
I started writing my first MFU story in high school, and it expanded to sixteen chapters. I have posted the first few of them here as a WIP. Yes, it is technically a completed work, but the chapters all need heavy editing. It's amazing how our perspectives change over 25 years. The Deadly in My Fashion Affair Ch. 1.

Firsts

[alynwa.livejournal.com]

The first fan fiction I ever wrote and posted was a Boston Legal story called "Triple A."

The first MFU story I ever wrote was inspired by an article I read while on a plane going somewhere.  The idea stuck with me so when I got home, I wrote it.  That was "Sugar and Spies."

Both links go to AO3. 

A Day of Firsts... Again...

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

I didn't realize so many writers would respond to the idea of posting our first stories.  I did it simply because we have open posting right now on Thursdays, and going all the way back to the beginning sort of appealed to me.  All of you who have shared your first stories have made this a special day, and I thank you all for participating in this impromptu event.  Sometimes the unplanned things in life are the best.
Speaking of a First, look who was reading today...

The Commotion in the Commissary Affair - Firsts

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

In the spirit of today, here's the first story I ever posted for MFU....just over a year ago, lol. I'm fairly certain I remember writing other Man From UNCLE stories, when I was first watching the show as a small child, but even if I still had those I wouldn't share them! Though they were all terribly exciting at the time.

Jumping on the 'Firsts' Bandwagon

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

I posted this to ff.net in April 2014. I had only recently re-discovered my love of Illya Kuryakin, specifically, and U.N.C.L.E. in general. Most people here will have probably read it already.

My (previously unpublished) first MFU attempt : "Unexpected Happenings" (working title)

[lilidelafield.livejournal.com]

Since every one is posting their "firsts" I thought I too would jump on board. My problem is that my first attempt to write for MFU is unfinished and un-posted anywhere else, so I have posted it in my LJ journal, the link is here fior anyone who is curious enough to read it. When I read it, it reminds me how we change as writers as we progress, although for a first attempt, I think it's not too bad. I do plan to finish it one day..,once I recall where I was planning to go with it...
