There's a reason we don't use steam engines...

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Because they run out.  I'm feeling a bit that way concerning the round robin, and with a flurry of activity telling me there's no interest in writing for this one, I'm a bit inclined to just dump it in the 'failed ideas' file.  I am not a patient person by nature, and I expected a better response.
Is the fandom flailing slightly?  Fewer writers, missing writers and such little activity on most of the MFU comms that I have to wonder about how much longer we will be here doing this.
On the other hand, I am an optimist, by nature.  And that makes me think we're just slumping a little because of the season, or life changes that people are experiencing.  I know I've had to relax my writing due to various events and some ongoing situations.  Just this week I've been distracted by a trip to the ER with my cousin in between work days.  Life Happens, we all know that and deal with it however it comes to us.
So...
How about a poll?  That always seems to cheer us up, and certainly we could use a space for venting, explaining or just letting off some of that proverbial steam.
Here goes...

Great Episode Challenge - The Breach of Promise Affair Ch.6 - October 2017

Episode: The Gazebo in the Maze Affair (S1E27)

Prompt 2: Edith Partridge has fond memories of South America, particularly the “young men in their sparkling uniforms.” She thinks Illya “very sort-of physical looking in an unusual way” and gets a bit handsy with him in the dungeon. The questions…Did Edith have a yen for Illya? And for Napoleon? And for any handsome young man? What would happen if Illya and Napoleon encountered Edith again?

As promised, at long last, more Edith. :)
