Short Affair PROMPTS for October 23rd

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Welcome to Short Affair prompts for stories due on 23rd October 2017. You'll find the prompts, and the rules, down below the cut.

To join in with today's postings just follow this link for the prompts you need.

Remember, Section VII is a Gen site, but stories which are Het, Long-term Romance or AU can be posted in mfu_map_room.

Posting directly to Section VII is still fine but, if you wish, you can post your story elsewhere and provide a link. Please say where the link leads as a lot of people are unwilling to go to certain sites. Don't forget, Section VII and the Map Room are both available on Dreamwidth, for those of you who can figure it out (Just let us know if you posted there).


Have fun.

So, sometimes, it wasn’t noise but an unusual silence and the closing of Beldon’s door that disturbed Illya’s concentration. He had been walking past once when this happened, and had seen a young woman in the room before the door closed.
