Since Monday the 19th we're celebrating David McCallum birthday as Illya's, giving him a surprise party in Section VII; how about an Illya centric prompt for the day after the party? It doesn't have to be about the party though. Whatever inspires you based on the photo prompt.

( Rules of the challenge. )

Here's your prompt:

This story refernces "The Secret Life of George Dennell"

The prompt:

Her eyes were mesmerizing, and the most vivid shade of blue he’d ever seen. Yet one moment they were a smokey blue-grey, then they seemed to change to an aqua color like that of the Aegean Sea.

The belly dancer circled the table, undulating and shimmying her hips. Her abdominal muscles rippled like waves to the beat of the music.

Four Years of Gen Fiction

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

It's hard to think back to before Section VII, it's become so much a part of my daily routine.  I did a quick little computation and in the four years since we all started on this venture, nearly two thousand stories have been added to ff.net, a good portion of them the products of challenges here at S7.
 I distinctly remember someone mentioning when the numbers hit one thousand MFU stories on ff.net, just previous to the launch of Section VII.  Keep in mind that represents a span of twelve years, and the stories now have nearly tripled in four years time.  Although all genres post in the same place, the majority of them within the new number are gen, something that I think is a significant statistic considering the numbers had been diminishing in that category.
All of this to say, I think we've all been involved in a worthwhile effort.  While everyone has tastes unique to their own points of view, I think the health of the Gen story is intrinsic to the well being of MFU in general since it captures the essence of the original TV series.  I know that may draw some contrary opinions, and that's fine; but what we're here to celebrate is the imagery and comraderie of Solo and Kuryakin as partners and friends whose primary aim is to keep the world safe as they did back in the 60's.
We're not political, and we're not hyping something we can't watch on our coveted dvd collection.
We just like Gen.
And we really like Napoleon and Illya.  So much so that the stories keep coming and the fandom continues to grow.
Congratulations to everyone involved, writers and readers alike.  We may not have the most stories, but we see new ones every week from a diverse group of writers, from different parts of the world.
How awesome is that ...

PicFic Challenge for 13 September, Gen, for Section VII; Dance of the Seven Veils

             "I'll never forgive you for this April!” Napoleon growled under his breath. April Dancer couldn’t stop herself from laughing.
    
       “Keep still Napoleon, or you’ll end up with the kohl pencil in your eye!”

More Alike Than Different - Pic fic Tuesday - Sept 13th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

When April Dancer and Illya Kuryakin entered the Turkish café, there were three veiled girls dancing their way around the room. The three were dressed in near identical costumes comprising of diaphanous harem pants, fringed bra, sequined yashmak and a jewel in their navels. Above the veil, each had heavy kohl around the eyes, which accentuated their sultriness. The only real difference was the colour of each woman’s costume; with one being in red, another in blue, and the third in green.

Picfic Tuesday: Halloween Again?

[alynwa.livejournal.com]

Illya knocked out a code on the door and moments later, April opened it.  “Hello, Darling,” she cooed as he entered her apartment, “I’m so glad you’re here.  I’m working on my Halloween costume and I want your opinion.”
