Short Affair PROMPTS for March 23rd

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

We could all do with some distractions around about now, and stories have always been good for that.

The prompts for stories due on 23rd 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.

Stentorian is the adjective for a loud, booming voice. Stentor is the proper noun, or name, of the original loudmouth. Then stentor can be used as a common noun for anyone with a powerful voice.

Did you Know?

Thank Homer for this one. In the classic tale the “Iliad,” Stentor is the name of the herald who delivered proclamations to the Greek army during the Trojan War. It was said that his voice was as loud as 50 men put together, but you don’t have to be quite that loud to still be called stentorian.
