Return of the 'Short Affair' Challenge
Jun. 27th, 2023 06:19 pmjantojonesSo.....
It's been a while.
Things are a little quiet around these parts and I would like to try and pick things up again. I may be peeing into the wind, but I have to try.
I know that many people haven't written for a while, and can't find the inclination to do so, and I figured 'How about a challenge?'. For the short Affair you only need to write between 300 — 1000 words, based on prompts comprising of 2 words and one colour. (You can use one or both of the words, but you must use the colour.)
So, how about it? Are you for the challenge? For those of us who haven't been around, I'm sure our boys have missed us. Well, maybe not Illya....
Anyway, you'll find everything you need to know below. There's no official time limit on it, but I was thinking of posting another prompt in a couple of weeks.
Have at it!

-Prompt Word 1 - Beach
-Prompt Word 2 – Hold
-Prompt Colour - Grey/Gray
Choose to use one of the prompt words, or to use both in your story (not forgetting the colour element), remembering to state which combination of prompts you are using.
Challenge Rules
-Your story can be built around one or both of the prompt words plus the colour. I.E.- Word 1/Colour, Word 2/Colour, or Word 1/Word 2/Colour.
-Word Count - must be between 300 and 1000.
-All stories should be headed with ‘Short Affair’ Challenge and your title.
-Please state at the top of your post which prompt combination you are using.
-Tags - please use short_affair, gen, gen-mature or het.
-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.

Summary: Illya is paired with a female partner for an unusual assignment, performing in a Shakespearean production. She's the expert on the Bard and is none to gentle in her opinions of Kuryakin's acting skills. It's a lusty interpretation of a gorgeous photo manip prompt by Avery11.

glennagirl.livejournal.comI've taken down an entry that was posted by one of our members. It was a little too close to political commentary. Humor aside, it came at the expense of someone else and, I hope we can always retain some sense of hopefulness here without casting stones at others.
Obviously, one's own personal page is for whatever suits or amuses the owner. Here on Section VII, the final edit is up to me. I don't like the idea of removing posts, and I did communicate the request that it be done by the author. My primary concern is to maintain the ideals, and the morale of Section VII.
I hope everyone is contentedly sheltered in place. We may be close to abandoning the restrictions and returning to a sort of normalcy, a nice thought to fuel our day.
Be well... wash your hands ;)

Speaking of Lost Muses...
Jan. 25th, 2020 08:49 amglennagirl.livejournal.com
A year or so ago we had a conversation about the muse, the lost muse and missing muse... you know what I mean.
I'm wondering if there's a way to jump start a muse search, perhaps track her down and talk some sense into the wayward sprite.
The poll we put up yesterday received some responses that indicated a lost muse is responsible for non-productivity where writing is concerned here in the MFU-niverse, and that a new challenge might do it for some of you.
A compelling challenge.
So, what constitutes a compelling challenge? We have weekly writing prompts here on Section VII, and admittedly a few of them have been here for a very long time. So, the topic is open for something new and different to ignite and inspire you to write. If you have a suggestion, please use the comments to post your ideas. We want you to write, and we are open to new topics and prompts that will help you (all of us), to get back to the exploits of Solo and Kuryakin in a big way.
55 Years of MFU can't be wrong. Right?
mrua7.livejournal.comPromps were from 1/13. I'm trying to catch up.

He fell hard, having been knocked backwards over a wooden rail fence. That sent him tumbling down around thirty feet until he came to a stop, having slammed into a large boulder.
His body remained still as his partner finished off the last of their attackers before hurtling over the fence, scrambling downwards to where Illya lay motionless.

It was hard for Solo to watch as a half-dozen prisoners dressed in tattered clothing were forced to parade in front of him. Among them was his partner who looked as white as a ghost and seemingly malnourished.
He was sure the Russian was being barely fed enough to sustain him, given Illya had a high metabolic rate made a minimum of food made it even more difficult for him.
The other prisoners were members of MI6, DGSE, and the CIA, so along with Kuryakin, THRUSH was digging for something; what that was, no one quite knew.
