[jantojones.livejournal.com]

How is it the last day of September already? Of course, this means we're about to step into October, and head for Hallowe'en.

You'll find the prompts for October 7th down below the cut. For stories due today, simply follow this link.

https://section7mfu.livejournal.com/2630570.html

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.

You can post directly to Section VII or, 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.

About Ameliorate

Throughout history, people have come up with some strange ways of ameliorating — or making better — symptoms of sickness or ill health. For many years, mercury was believed to cure ailments, heal injuries, and prolong life. We now know that mercury is extremely poisonous and deadly if consumed in large amounts.

Did you Know?

Ameliorate doesn't just describe something getting better or improving. It's used exclusively to refer to something that is currently in a bad or negative state that's then improved to a degree.

There was a single star twinkling in the night sky as Napoleon looked upwards. He sighed, hoping he’d see it again, and just for the heck of it he whispered a wish in a rhyme he remembered from his childhood.

“Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight,” he crossed his fingers while doing so.
