Short Affair PROMPTS for May 4th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

We're about to enter a new month, but it looks like not much will change for many of us for a while. Luckily we have our dashing heroes to distract us.

The prompts for stories due on May 4th 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.

Just Checking In...

I hope this finds everyone still sheltering safely.  The sun is out here after several days of rain.  I keep thinking that perhaps the rain is washing away the danger of this virus, so that when the sun comes out we have some respite from it.

I admit without shame to being an optimist.

We have challenges here on Section VII.  Another admission, I haven't written anything lately.  My creative pursuits seem to be lingering around very tactile pursuits, needle work and papercrafting. I am going to try and get to a short affair today, after I return from my driving duties.  It's a day for my cousin's dialysis appointment, so that will be about five hours out of the day.  Thankfully, it's something that can be accomplished; another reason for gratitude in the midst of the Coronavirus disruption.

Let's hear from all of you, keeping in touch is so very encouraging.

The sunset was spectacular, a riot of color that seemed to crescendo with a purple that blended the vivid pinks into the falling night sky.  Illya Kuryakin thought it might be the loveliest sunset he had ever witnessed.  It also occurred to him that it might be his last.

After too many years evading death, tonight it appeared to have finally caught up with the UNCLE agent.  Alone in the approaching darkness, he knew the loss of blood he was experiencing would soon send him into shock, with death following shortly after.  The man who stabbed him was already dead, a victim of the deadly skills of the Russian agent.  Unfortunately for Kuryakin, his expertise had come too late to avoid the attack that, to his current state of mind, must surely be his cause of unavoidable, impending death.

His last look at the fading colors of sunset seemed to settle the matter as the pink became shadowed by the purple hues, soon to be overcome by the deep, velvety darkness of a star lit night sky.  As Illya Kuryakin let himself drift into what his conscious mind assented to as eternity, the faint sound of someone called his name…
