The RETURN OF THE PICFIC CHALLENGE

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

For those of you not familiar with PicFic, it's a weekly challenge to write a MFU story based upon or incorporating a photo prompt.

The first PicFic prompt of 2021 will post on February 9th

Here are the general rules of the challenge:

Your story is Due: to be determined, it may be 24 hours, 1 week, or anytime after the prompt is posted on a Tuesday.

Statistical stuff: Minimum 500 words, no maximum.

Subject Matter: Write a MFU story using the photo prompt. Your fic. can be specifically about the prompt, featured or just mentioned in your story. It's meant to inspire!

Posting here should fit into the GENeral concepts of the section7mfu community, contain nothing explicit and reflects the 1960's series in style and content, and featuring our brave men from U.N.C.L.E. (of course) It's okay to use characters from the Girl from U.N.C.L.E. as well as original characters, but Napoleon and/or Illya must be part of your story!

Remember, Section VII is a GEN community.

That being said, there is a GEN-mature tag option for stories that contain more violence, torture, angst or very mild het. So if your story falls under one of these categories, please use the gen-mature tag.

Where to post:

Gen stories, gen-mature post in section7mfu

All other genres post in uncle_du_jour

Subject Header: Please include in the Subject Header: your Title, the phrase:'For Picfic Tuesday' and the original due date.

You must include the photo prompt with your story as a reference for you readers!

More on PicFic and Archives

Mostly this is about PicFic, but using the Archives is a good way to get to know more about this challenge.
Our Archive is full of terrific stories, and it spans 9 years now, back to 2012 when Section VII began.
The Archive tab is at the top of Section VII Home Page ... section7mfu
PicFic occupies quite a lot of those pages, and some of the best stories on MFU writing sites started with this challenge.
Take a look at this small sampling and enjoy reading, and hopefully be inspired to keep writing.
