[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Once again I'm surprised at the speed the year is disappearing. These prompts are for November!!

You'll find the prompts for November 4th down below the cut. For stories due today, simply follow this link.

https://section7mfu.livejournal.com/2656647.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.

Here we go again... Write something using the word of the day and post it in the comments.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 28

Sibilate

[si-bə-layt]Part of speech: verb

Origin: latin, mid 17th century

• To hiss
• To say something with a hissing sound

Examples of Sibilate in a sentence

• To 'Shh!' your friends is to sibilate at them.
• The air coming from the punctured tire started to sibiliate loudly.

Illya didn't care to sibiliate regarding his displeasure, letting out with a hissing stream of insulting Russian epithets.

About Sibilate

To sibilate is to say with a hissing sound, just like the librarian who shushes you when you're speaking too loud during your study session.

Did you Know?

Sibilate comes directly from its Latin root sibilare, meaning "to hiss or whistle."

Summary:  Napoleon and Illya find themselves on assignment in Transylvania.

Click on the quote to take you to AO3:

There's a dark lantern of the spirit,

Which none see by but those who bear it,

That makes them in the dark see visions

And hag themselves with apparitions,

Find racks for their own minds, and vaunt

Of their own misery and want.

-- Butler from Peacock’s ‘Nightmare Abbey’
