mi6_cafeYep it's that time of the week lovely people! The cafe is open for all of your chatting needs!
Don't forget that anonymous comments are now turned ON so you don't need an LJ account to join in the fun! If you are commenting using anon comments, please can you put your name/handle in the subject of your comments! It makes it easier for everyone to know who they are talking to!
WEEKLY RECS!
This week, we're going to take a slightly different approach to the weekly recs. So as well as the recs for those fanworks you've seen during the week (art/fic/podfic/memes anything goes!), there is going to be a 'Weekly Genre' where you can rec your favourite fics of all time that come under that heading!
This weeks Weekly Genre: Fluff!! Lets see how many fanworks we can rec this week under this genre - go find that one fic or piece of artwork that you think deserves a bit more love and recognition and post it in the recs!
Halloween Exchange
The Halloween Exchange is being run over on tumblr this year, and you can now go submit your prompts! Please note that the NYP Mod asks for prompts to be written in a certain way, so take that into account when you're thinking of your prompt!
Once the creating gets underway, I'll see if there is enough interest to create a specific 'fan exchange' cheerleading thread within the Weekly Chat for everyone to share their creating woes and make sure those muses get to work!
Starter questions!
To welcome the new people to the cafe I've added some introductory questions to the top of the list, which you are free to use/not use to introduce yourself!
Who goes there? Introduce yourself!
1) Name
2) Ususal internet home
3) What is it that you love about 00Q?
4) Favourite 00Q headcannon
5) Favourite 00Q fanwork (NB Put at ** next to the links if you want these fics to be included in the weekly recs too!)
Everyone is standing around drinking everything from tea to scotch! Quick, give us some ice breaker questions!
1) if Q and James had superpowers what would they be and why?
2) What is the one thing you love about the 00Q fandom community?
3) If James and Q were lost on an island with only a radio, a pair of horrendously ugly underpants, and a box of ice lollies, what do you think would happen? (Short fics or artwork using this a prompt is welcomed and very much encouraged)
4) One thing you hate about the creative process, and why
5) Anything you want to see included in the MI6 Cafe (This kind of depends on your dear mod's time allowances, but I'd love to see your ideas for the cafe and where this little comm could go!)
As ususal, you can add more questions if you wish! More chatting the merrier!

Re: Castillon (ficlet response to 3) Eve has to go pick up some losers from an Island
Date: 2015-06-07 03:56 pm (UTC)They were green, a sickly kind of green that looked mildly radioactive, with bright red spots that were arranged in some sort of artistic pattern that Eve was sure any fan of modern art would consider to be talking about the depth of the human experience.
She took a wide berth around the underpants and continued walking down the beach. She was sure James and Q had picked this particular island instead of just being unceremoniously deposited by some international terrorist organisation who had thrown then both of out a plane. It was the kind of island that travel agents would put on their flyers, with a pale blue sea lapping against pearly white sand that had a few palm trees dotting about it dunes.
It was also the kind of island that took 3 days to get to by various modes of transportation and having to talk to a set of very exasperated locals as to just why she needed to visit the uninhabited island in the south.
Eve knew that James and Q were there, because the radio was currently transmitting their drunken rendition of the YMCA. In the distance, she could hear the actual rendition of Q belting out another round of lyrics and the faint echoes of James' laughter.
Turning off the radio, Eve marched along the beach with a stubborn determination. It was always up to her to pull James and Q out of their various piles of proverbial shitstorms that they created. Even though this was a particularly nice island, she would have much preferred to be there by choice.
Rounding the corner, of the island, she came across James and Q's 'camp' for want of a better word. There were strewn popsicle wrappers over the sand, with the odd bottle of rum left half empty in the sand where someone had clearly been drinking it before getting up to dance about ridiculously.
"EVE!" James bellowed drunkenly, staggering to his feet, "you made it."
"You both owe me a really nice bottle of wine when we get back," Eve remarked, "a really nice bottle of wine."
Q frowned, before he slowly bent down and picked up one last uneaten ice lolly.
"Can I submit this as a bottle of wine?" he asked.
"No," Eve remarked. No amount of ice lollies were going to make up for the wine she needed to get through the paperwork when they got back to MI6.
