Great Episode Challenge for November 2017

[ssclassof56.livejournal.com]

The Unified Northern Casualty and Liability Exchange proudly presents The Great Episode Challenge.

This monthly challenge includes two prompts drawn from a single episode, allowing you to explore unresolved scenes, unanswered questions, and uncertain motivations.

And now for tonight's program.

In New York City, on a street in the East Forties, there’s an ordinary tailor shop. Or is it ordinary?

Episode: The Pop Art Affair (S3E6)





Prompt 1: When Sylvia Harrison asks Illya if he’d care for a portrait, he replies, “No, thank you. I have one.” Eventually he buys a sketch from her for $1. So the questions arise…Does Illya really have a portrait? Who painted it? An old lover? Someone in Russia? What becomes of Sylvia’s sketch which she is going to finish and give him later?

Prompt 2: Sylvia Harrison worked for two years on her “opus one with meaning.” In the end, Napoleon and Illya convince Mr. Waverly to purchase it for $200. The questions…What becomes of Sylvia’s opus? Does Mr. Waverly keep it? Pass it on? Gift it to his top agents?

Inquiring minds want to know.

For the challenge, write a story inspired by one of the prompts. If you have already written a story that addresses any of these questions, please repost it.

Section VII is a Gen & Gen-mature site. Stories that are Het, long-term romance & AU can be posted in the Map Room. All other genres post in UNCLE du Jour.

Posting Dates: Friday, November 24th through Thursday, November 30th

Word Count: 500 minimum, no maximum

Subject Header: The Great Episode Challenge, the title, and the date

Tags: episode_challenge, gen or gen_mature

Yay. I tried to think of fall-themed prompts, but drew a blank. Plus this episode has Illya shirtless. :D

I'm hopeful that many of us are newly inspired, it's been a bit of a dry spell for various reasons. I will now share with you the 'scene', since you mention IK shirtless.
I'm having a lot of trouble with LJ this morning, trying to upload photos and videos (which is why I deleted the first comment).
So... here's an earlier posting of the Pop Art Strip Affair (https://section7mfu.livejournal.com/1967928.html)... just click on the photo when you get there.
