It's Drabble Day on Section VII.
Hopefully LJ will cooperate and we can carry on here.
Dreamwidth is still good, always our handy back up plan.
Just 100 words on the topic of Solo and Kuryakin saving the world.
Take a deep break and dive in.

Reposting this... 50th Anniversary of the Last Episode

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

The premise for this challenge is to write the right last episode, the one you envision for a season finale.  What we have is the Seven Wonders of the World.  It is ironic to look back at that now and note the lack of the word 'affair' at the end of the title.  It goes down, perhaps  purposely, as the only episode not designated as an affair.
Stories will post on January 15, 2018, the 50th anniversary of the air date of the last episode.  This challenge is an all genre event.  Word count is a minimum of 5000, and you can include artwork including photos, photo manips and illustrations.
This challenge is being hosted by section7mfu, but will post on AO3 in the collections category.  I will post more details later.
We haven't had a big, fandom wide event since the 50th Mini Bang, and I'm hoping we can come together again to pay homage to the anniversary of The End.  Of course we all know and have contributed to making sure the Man from U.N.C.L.E.  has never truly ended, and this is one more opportunity to write the script for how each of us thinks it should have happened.
I hope you'll join in and help celebrate what turned out to be the beginning of what st_crispins tells us is the first tv fandom on record, and certainly the longest running.
Let's keep things rolling... Action!

Live Journal is still being uncooperative!

Not having a computer at the moment doesn't help but soon to be rectified, as I do have my iPad and a wireless keyboard thanks to a friend!!!

BUT am STILL unable to make any comments on anyone's postings as LJ is acting up again!  So you're not being ignored...just wanted to let you know.

Write on!

A Double Drabble; A Letter (Part Seven)

[lilidelafield.livejournal.com]

As he drove, Napoleon glanced sideways at Illya.
           “So…?”
           “So…Dimitri loved cats, he loved cows…he hated milk! He loved his papa…”
           “All little boys love their papas.”
Illya shook his head.
           “No, he really loved me. He almost never saw me. The KGB were…I could only safely see him two or three times in a year, for just a few minutes. He was just three when he died…I was going to give him my balalaika…”
There was a long pause, then Illya shook his head and smiled sidelong at the tear in his partner’s eye.
           “Your turn. Tell me something about Millie.”
Napoleon heaved a shaky sigh.
           “Fifteen years ago, my wife Martha was killed in a car crash. She was eight months pregnant when it happened. I was unconscious for three days. I woke up with a broken arm, broken ankle and concussion, to find my wife dead and my baby daughter delivered by emergency caesarian.”
           “Who took care of her?”
           “Martha’s parents. Millie suffered a loss of oxygen for a time, until they managed to… anyway, she had learning difficulties, but she was so loving…she looked so much like Martha…”
His voice broke.
           “She was my baby!”

Perfect Partners - A Little DrabbleD Ya! - August 23

For a secret agent, Napoleon Solo was extremely adept at being noticed. He could enter a room and have every person present watching his every move immediately. He could be loud and gregarious while throwing money around in an ostentatious manner. All of this served to allow Illya to do what he was expert at.

Kuryakin could practically make himself invisible in an empty room. In a crowd, in which Napoleon was holding court, he could go absolutely unnoticed; an ideal situation for planting listening devices or trackers.

This was one of the things which made them the perfect partners.
