section7mfu | Short Affair PROMPTS for May 1st (Reply)

The prompts below the cut are for stories due on May 1st, which is May Day. For many, it is a spring festival, but for others, it is a distress signal. (I looked up why, and discovered it is a shortened, and anglicised version of the French term 'venez m'aider' - 'Come and help me'). So, what kind of distress do you have in store for our favourite guys?

That, of course, is for next week. Don't forget you can post stories today from the prompts post last week.

Posting directly to Section VII is still fine but, 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.

Remember, Section VII is a Gen site, but stories which are Het, Long-term Romance or AU can be posted in the Map Room. You’ll find the link for it down the side there.

Have fun

-Prompt Word 1 - Area

-Prompt Word 2 – Execution

-Prompt Colour – Silver

-Due Date – 1st May 2017

Challenge Rules

-Your story should be built around ONE of the prompt words plus the colour. I.E.- Word 1/Colour or Word 2/Colour.

-Word Count – must be between 300 and 1000.

-All stories should be headed with ‘Short Affair’ Challenge, the due date and your title.

-Please state at the top of your post which prompt combination you are using.

-Tags - please use short_affair, gen or gen-mature.

-Section VII is a Gen community, so stories should be appropriate, i.e. nothing explicit or overly-graphic. However, there is the Gen-Mature tag for anything containing violence, torture or mild Het. The Map Room should be used for Het stories, but again, nothing overly graphic.

-Also, as a courtesy to others, please use the LJ Cut, so as not to take up all the room on someone’s feed.
