Short Affair PROMPTS for July 16th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Britain has been 'enjoying' a hot summer for what seems like forever. We aren't designed to cope with such temperatures and I'm starting to think it is some sort of THRUSH weather changing weapon. Where are my favourite Men from U.N.C.L.E. when I need them? Maybe you can tell me :-)

Don't forget, you can now chose to use one of the prompt words, or to use both in your story (not forgetting the colour element), remembering to state which combination of prompts you are using.

The prompts and rules, for Short Affair stories due on July 16th, 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.

New York 1959

He had to ask where to buy food – far more important than where to get a new shirt. His new partner gave him directions to various delis – a word he didn’t recognise, though he knew what it was when he found it – and to a supermarket, a concept he had come across in London where it was not, as he now realised, quite the same as in New York.

Brought up to believe that London lay under a permanent layer of thick fog, and that America was a dust bowl full of starving peasants, Illya had discovered, from recent experience, how much he had been misled in both respects.
