Short Affair PROMPTS for March 16th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

There are some scary things happening in the world right now. What we need are some fictional threats to take our minds from the real threats.

The prompts for stories due on 16th March can be found below the cut. For stories due today follow the link for the prompts.

https://section7mfu.livejournal.com/2758040.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.

Word of the Day

MONDAY, MARCH 9

Gambol

[GAM-bəl]Part of speech: verb

Origin: italian, early 16th century

• Run or jump about playfully.
• (British English) Do a forward roll.

Examples of Gambol in a sentence

• I love watching the squirrels gambol and play when I take my lunch in the park.
• The gymnastics routine included a gambol and two cartwheels.

About Gambol

Gambol can be used as both a verb and a noun. As a verb you’re skipping and frisking about, without a care in the world. When you want to give a name to those movements, gambol is used as a noun. The same verb/noun distinction applies to the British sense of gambol, which concerns a forward roll.

Did you Know?

The French word “gambade” originally meant the frolicking prances of a horse. When gambol moved over to English, the playful jumps were applied to humans and equines alike.

Test on the subway

[hypatia-66.livejournal.com]

It seemed like a good idea, to spread a benign bacterium on the New York subway to see where it went in the event of an attack. Then some plague bacteria went missing... Who is carrying them? (Wonder what gave me the idea?)
