Short Affair PROMPTS for August 13th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

How are we already a week into August? It beggars belief sometimes. Anyhoo, it's Monday once again, so it's time for the Short Affair.

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 August 13th, 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.

I'm posting this here as it is another of my 'see if I can write anything at all' pieces. It's rough and ready, and could probably be vastly expanded one day, but for now I'm just happy to have put something together.
