From each according to his ability

“As a citizen of this grotesquely capitalist country, Napoleon, you don’t seem to have invested any of your income for the purposes of augmenting what is really a quite adequate remuneration.”

Short Affair PROMPTS for January 15th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

The winter in the Northern Hemisphere has its grip on many places, some quite significantly, so what we need is something to warm us up. What better than the beautiful Men from U.N.C.L.E.?

The prompts and rules, for Short Affair stories due on January 15th, can all be found down below the cut. For stories due today, simply follow this link for the prompts.

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.

The scene was transcendent, which was exactly what the facilitator expected.  Twenty or so devotees sat solemnly, poised for meditation and the expectation that each should ascend to that higher level of spiritual perception for which he or she had come to this Westernized ashram in the Poconos.

Illya Kuryakin had once again been cast into the role of a slightly more hip, more youthful version of himself as he sat croslegged, dressed in the white linen required of most spiritual quests of this nature.  What the Russian had learned after being sequestered among the faltering faithful was that pot smoking was a natural high that was preferred to hours of meditation, a less fruitful experience for most of them.
