Once Upon a Time Affair PROMPT - December 2018

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

It's the last Once Upon a Time Affair for 2018. Given that we are moving into the festive season, and towards the New Year, it seems only natural to reflect that with the theme.

Don’t forget, everyone’s stories must begin with the prompt. You can post your stories at any time between now and the 8th of December. Everything you need to know is down below the cut.

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

Have fun.


The Prompt –

{Napoleon/Illya} tucked his communicator away with a deep sense of regret. He hadn't wanted to lie to his partner, but he also hadn't wanted to spoil the festivities.

The Theme –

Your theme this time is - Endings and/or beginnings

Last Date for Posting –

12th January 2019


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.
