Short Affair PROMPTS for December 16th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

The festive seson is coming at us fast but, hopefully, you'll find time for a quick Short Affair.

You'll find the prompts for December 16th down below the cut. For stories due today, simply follow this link.

https://section7mfu.livejournal.com/2692572.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 Arcane

"Arcane" may have a flavor of the occult about it, but it doesn’t necessarily mean something associated with witchcraft. Instead, a more appropriate synonym is "esoteric," which is used to describe things understood by only a select few.

Did you Know?

You might think all knowledge is meant to be shared, but the roots of "arcane" imply a secretive nature. The Latin word "arcānus" means "secret or hidden," and that comes from "arceō," which implies to shut something up, as if in a chest. Talk about keeping it all to yourself.

“You’re looking a bit green in the face Illya,” Napoleon leaned over, whispering to his partner.

“That is because my blood is copper based, unlike humans who have iron in their blood.”
