Man from U.N.C.L.E. Section VII

Just a reminder that posting for LIFECYCLE: Awakening Challenge is now open on section7mfu.

Please be sure and give your post a subject reflective of the challenge (including a title for the story itself). Do use the lifecycle tag to identify your story. As a courtesy, please remember to place the majority of your story under a cut.

Posting for the challenge will remain open through next Saturday, June 24th.

With my current schedule, I was not able to compose something for this particular challenge myself, but I look forward to reading the stories.

With our first LIFECYCLE Challenge now history (and a big thank you to those who participated), time to set the guidelines for the second LIFECYCLE Challenge, which has a theme of AWAKENING.

Through we have just awakened into the spring season, the second challenge in this 2017 LIFECYCLE series won't awake until the summer season begins its reign. So you have lots of time to consider the particular turns and twists of this writing challenge. ;-)

The theme of AWAKENING can refer to a physical awakening, such as one or both of the guys returning from the realm of near-death to the realm of life. Or alternatively it could bespeak a more philosophical mental or emotional awakening of some type.

With that in mind, here are the guidelines for the LIFECYCLE: Awakening seasonal challenge.

CHALLENGE: Write an MFU fanfic story regarding the idea of AWAKENING. The story doesn't have to necessarily mention or include the actual term; just embody a scenario that fits the concept behind it. Do, however, place the term AWAKENING in a comment at the start of the story for clarity.

STATISTICAL STUFF: Minimum of 500 words with no set maximum. (Drabbles are not incorporated in this particular challenge.) Must fit into the overall concepts of this community, i.e., contain no explicit adult material and reflect the 1960s series in style and content. Please tag your story with the lifecycle tag.

POSTING: To this forum starting on Saturday, June 17th, and ending on Saturday, June 24th.

Posting for LIFECYCLE: Companionship Challenge opened yesterday on section7mfu. (Sorry, I was out-and-about yesterday and forgot to post this before I left in the morning.)

Please be sure and give your post a subject reflective of the challenge (including a title for the story itself). Do use the lifecycle tag to identify your story. As a courtesy, please remember to place the majority of your story under a cut.

Posting for the challenge will remain open through next Saturday, March 25th.

Just a reminder that our first LIFECYCLE of the year, that encompassing COMPANIONSHIP, opens for posting here on section7mfu this Saturday, March 18th, remaining open through Saturday, March 25th.

Guidelines for the LIFECYCLE: COMPANIONSHIP seasonal challenge can be found here.

In the words of Amelia Earhart: The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.

So since the guys have seen more than most and are also definitely doers, seems they would have a well-developed appreciation for companionship in all its forms, no?

Since my work schedule is rather hectic right now, I am going to schedule just 3 seasonal writing challenges for 2017. These will be LIFECYCLE Challenges.

For those unfamiliar with LIFECYCLE, the concept is based roughly on the idea of the "circle of life" in that I provide a prompt relating in some way to a facet of human living. Thus stories under this challenge would be able to contain a very broad range of perspectives on any given aspect of life.

Below is is the schedule for 2017.

PROMPT	POSTING PERIOD
Companionship	Sat, Mar 18 through Sat, Mar 25
Awakening	Sat, Jun 17 through Sat, Jun 24
Denial	Sat, Sep 16 through Sat, Sep 23
