[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Despite the storms we're having in the UK there are signs that spring is on the way. Time to rise from the winter doldrums.

The prompts for stories due on 2nd March can be found below the cut. For stories due today follow the link for the prompts.

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.

Ductile

[DUCK-tl]Part of speech: adjective

Origin: latin, 14th century

• (of a metal) able to be drawn out into a thin wire.
• Able to be deformed without losing toughness; pliable, not brittle.

Examples of Ductile in a sentence

• Copper is quite ductile, which makes it perfect for both electrical work and jewelry.
• The drafty window sill needs to be repaired with a ductile material to stand up to the winter winds.

About Ductile

Ductile can be used in a few different situations. There’s the easily coerced, or ductile, person. Then any sort of pliable material that can be molded can be called ductile. But if you’re a scientist, you’re most likely describing a metal that can be pulled into a thin wire as ductile.

Did you Know?

The adjective ductile comes from the Latin root “ductilis,” which means easily led. This makes sense if you’re talking about a person being ductile, or easily convinced. The word duke shares the same root. A duke might not be swayed, but he perhaps hopes that his subjects are nice and ductile.
