Short Affair PROMPTS for February 18th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Would you look at that, it's Monday again. It must be time for the Short Affair.

You'll find the prompts for February 18th down below the cut. For stories due today, simply follow this link.

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.

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 was having a wander through the archives, and I came upon a drabble written on 13th January 2016, by mrua7 which made me literally laugh out loud (Just like it did the first time). I'd been writing MFU fic for less than 2 years at that point, and it seems I already had a certain reputation.

This was Mrua7's drabble.

We were all returning from a writing break and my own drabble from the same day went with a similar theme.

The dress was a fluffy concoction of pink tulle and satin, most of it in the bulbous skirt that flounced and swayed as she walked into the room.  The bodice was quite tame in comparison, a simple silhouette augmented only with the rhinestone spaghetti straps that mirrored the earrings she wore.  It was, according to Kuryakin’s scathing review, one of the ugliest outfits he’d ever seen.
