Abnegation

[ab-nih-GAY-shun]Part of speech: noun

Origin: latin, 14th century

About Abnegation

You probably recognize the “neg” in the middle of the word and want to infer a negative connotation. But the Latin root is actually "abnego," which means to refuse or deny. You are denying yourself something, but just try to think of how good for you it will be.

Did you Know?

This word has a fairly early origin, which makes sense because principles of abnegation are present in almost all of the major religions. Monks and nuns practice abnegation of material possessions. Buddhism and Hinduism preach elements of abnegation. Ramadan and Lent are both periods of abnegation.

These prompts are for stories due in Christmas week, so it would be wonderful if you wrote something festive.

You'll find the prompts for December 23rd down below the cut. For stories due today, simply follow this link.

https://section7mfu.livejournal.com/2696990.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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.
