The Once Upon a Time Affair PROMPT

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

I can't believe we're onto the third prompt for this challenge already. I'm really pleased at how well it's being received.

The Prompt, theme, and rules can all be found below the cut. Don’t forget, everyone’s stories must begin with the prompt. You can post your stories at any time between now and the 23rd December.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Have fun.



The Prompt –

“Peace and goodwill,” {your choice of UNCLE agent} muttered to {himself/herself} as {he/she} trudged through the snow. “There will be none of either when I get back.”

The Theme –

As this prompt finishes the day before Christmas Eve, the theme will be - Christmas

Last Date for Posting –

23rd December 2017


If you post your story in the Map Room, or on another site, please ensure that you include a link to it.

Challenge Rules

-Your story must begin with the exact prompt sentence /paragraph.
Occasionally, there will be customisable parts within the prompt. These will be written in red.

For example –

{Your Choice} means you can decide which character to place there. (It may not necessarily be any of the main characters.)

{His/her} can be changed to reflect the gender of your chosen character.

{Name of Place} means you can chose where your story is set.

-The story must be rooted in the Man from U.N.C.L.E. universe and reflect the time in which it is set.

-Stories can be posted on any day from the prompt day to the last day of posting (inclusive).

-Word Count – Minimum 500, with no maximum.

-All stories should be headed with, Your title - ‘The Once Upon a Time Affair’ - the date.

-Tags - please use once upon a time, 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 too much room on someone’s feed.

Thank you :-)
I never managed to write something for the last prompt. I'm hoping for better luck this time.

I'm going to be late with the short affair. Too much going on the last few days, and today. I will catch up.
I wrote a picfic for the ugly sweater, but it was actually a longer story that I was working on already and the sweater was perfect to add to a somewhat lackluster story. So I added it in. Otherwise I haven't had time to write lately.

I have loads of time, but no ability. I've haven't got anything for anything, apart from the Round Robin. I was starting to worry, but then inspiration struck last night. Hopefully I'll get it finished in time.

I hear you! The RR has actually unfolding into a good story, so anything you contribute will only make it better!
