MFU Writers Survival School

So somebody across the pond decided to open a blog for National Flash Fiction Day and is requesting submissions. Any genre, 500 words or less. Details here.

Our fandom boasts an unusually high percentage of quality writers, and I think almost all of us have something lying around of the proper length. Besides, it seems to me that sharing that outside can only be to the good.

So shall we join them?

Story posting for the HODOWE: May Day challenge on Section VII has opened!

So stop by to post a tale for the challenge or just to read what others have written.

It just strikes me that the boys are going through the airport all the time, so... well, they will have a lot of conversations there, and they will be known. Good place for vignettes.

You may have noticed that I have been very quiet lately. That is because I have been in the hospital six times in nine months. ( go here )

You know how there's always one egg that takes awhile to find? This would be it. Although I missed Easter, I didn't miss Russian Orthodox Easter. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Sorry this is late-- but at least it's not so late that it's smelly. Hopefully. :)

Title: The Trouble With Fans

Author's Notes:  Written for the 2012 Easter Egg gift exchange on mfuwss.  This is for loxleyprince.  And endings are not my strong point… *sigh*

For kanders07 – so sorry this egg is late! Just got back in town from seeing daughter at college and could NOT get it to post down there and so had to wait till return home. Hope you enjoy!


The moment the plane touched down on the tarmac, Napoleon nudged his sleeping partner. They had a report to make directly to Mr. Waverly, with absolutely no time to waste. The blue eyes were instantly wide open, but were heavily shadowed with pain. Deciding that his young friend needed the trip to Medical which he was typically wont to eschew, Napoleon pulled out his communicator box and plugged it into the small socket on the side of the UNCLE plane's seat. Once he had made his arrangements, he signed off and helped Illya to his feet. The blond stumbled slightly, but with Napoleon's guiding hand on his elbow, he safely made it into the UNCLE car awaiting the agents.

The request was for something “about our Pretty at the beach.”  I hope this is satisfactory.

ashley_pitt's request was for a slashy Easter Egg with flowers and sunshine as the prompts. Her prompts inspired me to write an Egg-size (more or less) continuation of a story I wrote a while back which had a flowering plant as one of the characters. (The first parts were also posted at MFUWSS here.)

Author: saki101

The prompt was "Illya teaches Napoleon to ride a horse" and, as you feared, Frau Flora, I couldn't fit in the slashiness. Given the subject matter, I thought you might like to have a fic in German for once - the English version will follow for everyone else.

SPRING THAW

Prague
April, 1968

     They wandered up Dlouhá Street, basking in the warm Spring sunshine -- just a couple of workers out for a Sunday stroll. Illya adjusted the collar of his sports coat, twisting his body slightly as he did so, the better to monitor their surroundings for signs of the Státní Bezpečnost, Czechoslovakia's despised Secret Police apparatus. Beside him, Napoleon angled the brim of his hat and did the same.

     “I'm not picking up any tails,” Napoleon said quietly. “How about you?”

     “No, but that is no guarantee where the StB are concerned. We should remain on guard.”

     “Agreed.”

     “That is a ridiculous hat, by the way.”

     “I think it looks jaunty. Besides, you said we should try to blend in.”

     Illya snorted. “Blend in, yes. Just not with the Von Trapp family.”
